• Selecting operating mode 9
- press button F to unlock switch E
- turn switch E to the desired operating mode until it
snap-locks
! start working only when switch E is locked
1 = normal drilling/screwdriving
2 = hammer drilling
3 = chiseling with rotating chisel
4 = chiseling with fi xed chisel
! select operating mode only when tool is switched
off
- 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
- best hammer 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:
SKIL LETS THE TOOL WORK FOR YOU

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 G
! 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/chisels 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
