[. . . ] Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. [. . . ] A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. 7 d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. , in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. [. . . ] only use sharp bits · 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 9 · 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 · Splinterfree drilling in wood * · Dustfree drilling in walls ( · Dustfree drilling in ceilings ) · Drilling in tiles without skidding ¡ · For more tips see www. skileurope. com 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. skileurope. com) NOISE/VIBRATION · Measured in accordance with EN 60745 the sound pressure level of this tool is < 80 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB) and the vibration m/s² (hand-arm method; uncertainty K = 1. 5 m/s²) when drilling in metal 3. 4 m/s² when screwdriving 1. 7 m/s² · The vibration emission level 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 ENVIRONMENT · Do not dispose of electric tools, accessories and packaging together with household waste material (only for EU countries) - in observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste of electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility - symbol 8 will remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs · The battery must be kept separate from the natural environment and should not be disposed of as normal domestic waste (symbol 9 will remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs) !
