Maintenance / Service - Skil 2412 Manual Original

WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of the charger to the earth terminal of the
plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of the
charger, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended
USE
• Charging battery 9
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
- after approximately 1-2 hours the battery is fully
charged
! remove battery from charger after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
- ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting into charger
- do not charge at temperatures below 0°C and over
45°C; this will seriously damage the battery as well
as the charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
! a battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a
few minutes of operation; this may result in a
reduction of operating time and battery efficiency
- the battery must be kept separate from the natural
environment and should not be disposed of as
normal domestic waste (symbol 8 will remind you of
this when the need for disposing occurs)
! prior to disposal protect battery terminals with
heavy tape to prevent short-circuit
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool,
it is best to unplug the charger from its power source
• On/off 0
• Speed control for smooth starting !
• Changing direction of rotation @
- indicator C shows the selected direction of rotation
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch
A 2 cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
• Changing bits #
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
! only use sharp bits
• Torque control (VariTorque) $
- limits the amount of output torque delivered by the
chuck (16 clutch settings)
- when turning in a screw, first try VariTorque position 1
and increase until the desired depth has been
reached

• Mechanical gear selection %
- set selector G to desired speed
- indicator H shows the selected mechanical speed
! actuate the gear selector while tool is running slowly
1 = HIGH POWER
- high torque
- for screwdriving and drilling large diameters
- for tapping thread
2 = HIGH SPEED
- lower torque
- for drilling small diameters
• Holding and guiding the tool
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s) ^
- keep ventilation slots K 2 uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the
tool do the work for you
APPLICATION ADVICE
• When drilling ferrous metals
- pre-drill a smaller hole, when a large hole is required
- lubricate drill bit occasionally with oil
• When turning in a screw at/near the cross cut end or an
edge of wood, pre-drill a hole in order to avoid cracking
of the wood
• For an optimal use of the tool a steady pressure on the
screw is required, especially while removing
• When screwdriving in hard wood one should pre-drill a
hole
• Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated at the back of this
instruction manual 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
significantly increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may
significantly 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

MAINTENANCE / SERVICE

• Keep tool and charger clean
- clean charging contacts in charger with alcohol or
contact cleaner
! unplug charger from power source before cleaning
• If the tool/charger should fail despite the care taken in
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be
carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL
power tools
- send the tool or charger 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.skil.com.br)
