WARNING
•
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
–
Lead from lead-based paints.
–
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
–
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
•
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
–
Work in a well-ventilated area.
–
Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
–
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit
. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
4

mode”.
•
Indicator light 3 shines green to indicate “reverse control mode”.
In reverse control mode, the tool stops the reverse rotation and the impact within seconds
once the fastener is loosened.
NOTICE:
The reverse control mode is available only when the tool rotates counterclockwise
and the trigger switch is fully depressed.
NOTICE:
The impact force mode can be changed only when any mode-indicator light is
shining and the trigger switch is not depressed. The impact force mode cannot be activated
when the motor is running.
The impact force mode will be stored and applied in the next operation when the tool is turned
on again or when the direction of rotation has been changed. Reset the impact modes as
desired.
When the trigger is squeezed slightly, one of the three indicator lights will automatically shine
green, to indicate the force mode stored at the last use and will turn off approximately 60
seconds after the variable speed trigger switch is released. It means that during approximately
one minute after releasing the switch trigger, the impact force can be changed.

Variable speed control must be used with caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket set
attachments. The technique is to start slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs downs.
Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the tool to a stop. If this procedure is not followed, the
tool will have a tendency to torque or twist in your hands when the nut or bolt seats.
a. Select hex socket that matches the nut or bolt. Then mount the socket on the square drive,
and grip the nut or bolt to be tightened with the hex socket.
b. Hold the tool rmly and apply just enough pressure to keep the socket engaged on the nut
or bolt. Then press the trigger switch to impact the nut or bolt for several seconds.
NOTICE:
Always use the correct size impact socket for bolts and nuts. An incorrect size
impact socket will result in inaccurate and inconsistent fastening torque and/or damage to the
bolt or nut.
WARNING
Do not over-tighten, as the force of the impact tool can break the fastener.
Hold the tool vertical with the bolt or nut, otherwise the head of the bolt or
nut will be damaged.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. The charger was designed to rapidly charge the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C). If the battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger
will not begin charging the battery. (This may happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy
use). Once the battery temperature returns to its safe charging temperature, the charger will
automatically begin charging.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing
the end of its life and should be replaced.
3. Remember to unplug the charger during storage.
4. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for power at the outlet by plugging another electrical device into the outlet.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch that turns power “off” when the lights
are turned off.
c. Check the battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with a cotton swab and alcohol, if
necessary.
d. If proper charging still does not occur, take or send the tool, battery pack and charger to
your local SKIL Service Center. Please refer to the Customer Service information on the
cover of this manual.
