! select operating mode only when tool is switched
off and plug is disconnected
- for drilling in wood, metal and plastic as well as for
screwdriving the corresponding adapter should be
used (see: Application Advice)
- the hammer mechanism is activated by applying a
slight pressure on the tool when the drill bit is in
contact with the workpiece
- it takes a short time for the hammer mechanism to
reach full impact power
- best impact drilling results can be obtained by only a
slight pressure on the tool needed to keep the
automatic clutch engaged; drilling performance will
not improve by applying more pressure on the tool
• Changing bits 0
! clean and lightly lubricate the SDS+ accessory
before insertion
- pull back locking sleeve F 2 and insert accessory in
SDS+ chuck while turning and pushing it until it
engages; the accessory locks in position
automatically
- pull accessory to check that it is locked correctly
- remove accessory by pulling back locking sleeve F
! the SDS+ accessory requires freedom of
movement which causes eccentricity when tool is
off-load; however, the accessory automatically
centres itself during operation without affecting
drilling precision
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
• Safety clutch
If the accessory gets jammed, the drive to the spindle is
interrupted (causing a rattling noise)
- immediately switch off tool
- remove the jammed accessory
- switch on tool again
• Adjusting drilling depth !
• Holding and guiding the tool @
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s)
- always use auxiliary handle G 2 (can be adjusted
as illustrated)
- keep the ventilation slots uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the
tool do the work for you
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Use the appropriate bits #
! only use sharp bits
• For drilling in wood, metal and plastic as well as for
screwdriving use the corresponding adapter (SKIL
accessory 2610395660) $
- clean and lightly lubricate adapter before insertion
- pull back locking sleeve F 2 and insert adapter in
SDS+ chuck while turning and pushing it until it
engages; the adapter locks in position automatically
- pull adapter to check whether is it locked correctly
- set switch E 2 to normal drilling (only activate when
tool is switched off and plug is disconnected)
• 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
• Splinterfree drilling in wood %
• Dustfree drilling in walls ^
• Dustfree drilling in ceilings &
• Drilling in tiles without skidding *

MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
• Always keep tool and cord clean (especially the
ventilation slots)
! disconnect the plug before cleaning
• If the tool 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 undismantled together with proof of
