Before Use - Skil 3085 Original Instructions Manual

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
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• 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)

• The battery supplied is partially charged (to ensure
full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery
in the battery charger before using your power tool for the
first time)
• Only use the following batteries and chargers with
this tool
- SKIL battery: BR1*31****
- SKIL charger: CR1*31****
• Do not use battery when damaged; it should be replaced
immediately
Do not disassemble the battery
•
• Do not expose tool/battery to rain
• Permitted ambient temperature (tool/charger/battery):

USE
Combined switch for on/off and speed control A 2
•
- control the speed steplessly from zero to maximum by
putting less or more pressure on the trigger
Charging battery
•
! read the safety warnings and instructions
provided with the charger
• Removing/installing the battery 2
• Battery level indicator 7
- press the battery level indicator button M to show the
current battery level 7a
! when the lowest level of the battery indicator
starts flashing after pressing button M 7b, the
battery is empty when 2 levels of the battery
indicator start flashing after pressing button
M 7c, the battery is not within the allowable
operating temperature range
• Attaching belt clip 8
- attach the belt clip N to the drill with the supplied screw.

- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A 2
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
• Changing bits q
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
• Torque control (VariTorque) w
- output torque will increase as clutch ring B is rotated
from 1 to 24
- when turning in a screw, first try VariTorque position 1
and increase until the desired depth has been reached
- position D will lock up the clutch to permit (non-impact)
drilling or driving heavy-duty work
- position C will lock up the clutch to permit impact
drilling only
! ensure that gear selector G is in position 2 when
function selector F is in impact drilling position
! do not use impact drilling position C for drilling in
wood, metal, ceramic and plastic to prevent the
drill/screw bit from being damaged
• Mechanical gear selection e
- set selector G 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 impact drilling
- for drilling small diameters
• WORKLIGHT L r
- WORKLIGHT L will illuminate in default low brightness
mode when the tool is turned on OR if WORKLIGHT
button K is depressed without turning the tool on.
Brightness can be switched from off to low to high or
from low to high to off by pressing the WORKLIGHT
