[. . . ] Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. [. . . ] Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. 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. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. 4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. 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. [. . . ] SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR IMPACT DRILLS GENERAL · This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years · Always disconnect plug from power source before making any adjustment or changing any accessory · Wear ear protectors with impact drills (exposure to noise can cause hearing loss) · Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool (loss of control can cause personal injury) · 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 classified 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 BEFORE USE · 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) · Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and other elements in your workpiece; remove them before you start working · 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) · Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by hand) · Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced by a qualified person ACCESSORIES · SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only when original accessories are used · Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching at least the highest no-load speed of the tool 9 DURING USE · Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool · If the drill bit becomes unexpectedly jammed (causing a sudden, dangerous reaction), immediately switch off the tool · Be aware of the forces that occur as a result of jamming (especially when drilling metals); always use auxiliary handle G 2 and take a secure stance · Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own power cord (contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator); always use auxiliary handle G 2 · In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug · If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug AFTER USE · When you put away the tool, switch off 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 off the cord of this tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended USE · · · · · · · · · On/off 4 Switch locking for continuous use 5 Speed control for smooth starting 6 Maximum speed control 7 With wheel C the maximum speed can be adjusted from low to high - switch on the tool - lock the switch - turn wheel C to select maximum speed Mechanical gear selection 8 - set selector E to desired speed !actuate the gear selector while tool is running slowly 1 = LOW SPEED - high torque - for screwdriving and drilling large diameters - for tapping thread 2 = HIGH SPEED - lower torque - for drilling small diameters Changing direction of rotation 9 - when not properly set in left/right position, switch A 2 cannot be activated !
