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 qualied 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 classied 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

when the correct accessories are used which can be

obtained from your SKIL dealer

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

DURINGUSE

• Holdpowertoolbyinsulatedgrippingsurfaces,

whenperforminganoperationwherethefastener

callthelocalutilitycompanyforassistance (contact

with electric lines can lead to re or electrical shock;

damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;

penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or

an electrical shock)

asecurestance (high reaction torque can briey occur

while driving in and loosening screws)
