operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired 
before use.

 Many accidents are caused by poorly 

maintained power tools.

f) 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 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 diferent 

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCREWDRIVERS

GENERAL

•  Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the 

voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with 

a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a 

220V supply)

•  This tool should not be used by people under the age of 

16 years

•  Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it 

replaced by a qualiied person

•  Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a 

capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)

• 

Do not work materials containing asbestos

 (asbestos 

is considered carcinogenic)

•  Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some 

wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful 

(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic 

reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or 

bystanders); 

wear a dust mask and work with a dust 

extraction device when connectable

•  Certain kinds of dust are classiied as carcinogenic (such 

as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with 

additives for wood conditioning; 

wear a dust mask and 

work with a dust extraction device when 
connectable

•  Follow the dust-related national requirements for the 

materials you want to work with

•  Always disconnect plug from power source before 

making any adjustment or changing any accessory

ACCESSORIES

•  SKIL can assure lawless functioning of the tool only 

when the correct accessories are used which can be 

obtained from your SKIL dealer

•  Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching 

at least the highest no-load speed of the tool

BEFORE USE

•  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)

DURING USE

• 

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 
when performing an operation where the fastener 
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord

 (fasteners 

contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of 

the power tool “live” and could give the operator an 

electric shock)

• 

Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or 
call the local utility company for assistance

 (contact 

with electric lines can lead to ire or electrical shock; 

damaging a gas line can result in an explosion; 

penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or 
an electrical shock)

• 

When working, always hold the tool firmly and take 
a secure stance

 (high reaction torque can briely occur 

while driving in and loosening screws)

•  Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool

•  If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do 

not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug

•  In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, 

immediately switch of the tool and disconnect the plug

AFTER USE

•  When you put away the tool, switch of the motor and 

ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete 

standstill

WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):

•  Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire 

in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug

•  If for any reason the old plug is cut of the cord of this tool, 

it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended

USE

•  On/of 

4

•  Switch locking for continuous use 

5

•  Speed control for smooth starting 

6

•  Changing direction of rotation 

7

-  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

•  Operating the tool

!  only use bits with hexagon shaft
!  do not use damaged bits

-  push bit to end position in bitholder

-  guide screw to screwdriving bit (screw is held in place 

by magnetic bit holder)

-  irmly push tip of screw into workpiece

-  press trigger A and push tool forward to start screwing 

or unscrewing

-  adjust screwing depth, if necessary

•  Adjusting screwing depth 

8

-  rotate sleeve E clockwise for increasing the screwing 

depth

-  rotate sleeve E counter-clockwise for reducing the 

screwing depth

-  always test out irst on a piece of scrap material

•  Holding and guiding the tool

!  while working, always hold the tool at the 

grey-coloured grip area(s)
