Service
NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. Preventive
maintenance 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.
(NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES ONLY)
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

and is ready for use.

maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we
recommend it be examined every six months.

specially designed for your tool should be
used.

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,

be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through opening.
