• Ensure not to activate the forward/reverse selector before
making any adjustments or changing accessories as well
as when carrying or storing the tool
• This charger can be used by children aged 8 and
above and by persons who have physical, sensory
or mental limitations or a lack of experience or
knowledge if a person responsible for their safety
supervises them or has instructed them in the safe
operation of the charger and they understand the
associated dangers (otherwise, there is a danger of
operating errors and injuries)
• Supervise children (this will ensure that children do not
play with the charger)
• Cleaning and user maintenance of the battery
charger shall not be made by children without
supervision
• Do not use charger when damaged
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
BEFORE USE
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the charger
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines
or call the local utility company for assistance
(contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical
shock; damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
DURING USE
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring
(cutting accessory and fasteners contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool or unplug charger from
power source

! 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
- connect charger with both wall socket and contact
- indicator light will flash GREEN indicating that the
battery is being charged
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
