• Maximum speed control 7
With wheel B 2 the maximum speed can be adjusted
steplessly from minimum to maximum
• Changing direction of rotation 8
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
• Selecting operating mode 9
- press button F to unlock switch E
- turn switch E to the desired operating mode until it
snap-locks
! start working only when switch E is locked
1 = normal drilling/screwdriving
2 = hammer drilling
3 = chiseling with rotating chisel
4 = chiseling with fi xed chisel
! select operating mode only when tool is switched
off and plug is disconnected
- the hammer mechanism is activated by applying a
slight pressure on the tool when the drill bit is in
contact with the workpiece
- best hammer drilling results can be obtained by only
a slight pressure on the tool needed to keep the
automatic clutch engaged; drilling performance will
not improve by applying more pressure on the tool
• Normal drilling/screwdriving 0
For drilling in wood, metal and plastic as well as for
screwdriving use adapter J 2
- clean and lightly lubricate adapter before insertion
- pull back locking sleeve G 2 and insert adapter in
SDS+ chuck while turning and pushing it until it
engages; the adapter locks in position automatically
- pull adapter to check whether is it locked correctly
- set switch E 2 to normal drilling (only activate when
tool is switched off and plug is disconnected)
• Chiseling with rotating chisel !
! switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
- select "rotating" chiseling mode
• Chiseling with fi xed chisel @
! switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
- select "rotating" chiseling mode
- place chisel in desired position
- select "fi xed" chiseling mode
• Changing bits #
! clean and lightly lubricate the SDS+ accessory
before insertion
- pull back locking sleeve G and insert accessory in
SDS+ chuck while turning and pushing it until it
engages; the accessory locks in position
automatically
- pull accessory to check that it is locked correctly
- remove accessory by pulling back locking sleeve G
! the SDS+ accessory requires freedom of
movement which causes eccentricity when tool is
off-load; however, the accessory automatically
centres itself during operation without affecting
drilling precision
! do not use bits/chisels with a damaged shank

If the accessory gets jammed, the drive to the spindle is
interrupted (causing a rattling noise)
- immediately switch off tool
- remove the jammed accessory
- switch on tool again
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- always use auxiliary handle H (can be adjusted as
illustrated)
- keep the ventilation slots uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool;
let the tool do the work for you
- pre-drill a smaller hole, when a large hole is required
- lubricate drill bit occasionally with oil
edge of wood, pre-drill a hole in order to avoid cracking
of the wood
The vibration emission level stated at the back of this
instruction manual (indicated by an asterisk) has been
measured in accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60745; it may be used to compare one tool with
another and as a preliminary assessment of exposure to
vibration when using the tool for the applications
mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with
different or poorly maintainted accessories, may
signifi cantly increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may
signifi cantly reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration by
maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping
your hands warm, and organizing your work
patterns

! disconnect the plug before cleaning
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be
carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL
power tools
- send the tool undismantled together with proof of
purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL service
station (addresses as well as the service diagram of
the tool are listed on www.skileurope.com)
