Accessories
If an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used.
This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-
wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs
and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
RECOMMENDED SIZES OF EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING
Service
NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. Preventive
m
aintenance performed by unauthorized
personnel may result in misplacing of
internal wires and components which
could cause serious hazard.
We recom-
mend that all tool service be performed by a
Skil Factory Service Center or Authorized Skil
Service Station. SERVICEMEN: Disconnect
tool and/or charger from power source before
servicing.
BATTERIES
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing
their end of life.
If you notice decreased tool
performance or significantly shorter running
time between charges then it is time to
replace the battery pack. Failure to do so can
cause the tool to operate improperly or
damage the charger.
Long term battery storage should be in the
discharged state.
Battery packs last longer
and re-charge better when they are stored
discharged. Remember to fully re-charge
battery packs before using after prolonged
storage.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready for use.
D.C. MOTORS
The motor in your tool has been engineered
for many hours of dependable service. To
maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we
recommend it be examined every six months.
Only a genuine Skil replacement motor
specially designed for your tool should be
used.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents, always
disconnect the tool and/or
charger from the power supply before
cleaning.
The tool may be cleaned most
effectively with compressed dry air.
Always
wear safety goggles when cleaning tools
with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through opening.
Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage
plastic parts.
Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.
