Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep by-standers, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Double Insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double Insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system. Before plugging in the tool, be
certain the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the nameplate. Do not use
“AC only” rated tools with a DC power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded. If
operating the power tool in damp locations is
unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
must be used to supply the power to your tool.
Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Don't 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 to carry the tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a
fire.
A battery operated tool with integral
batteries or a separate battery pack must
be recharged only with the specified
charger for the battery. A charger that may
be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery.
Use battery operated tool only with
specifically designated battery pack. Use
of any other batteries may create a risk of
fire.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is in the locked or off position before
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or inserting the

Safety Rules for Cordless/Corded Drills/Drivers
battery pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enable better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which
it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or
place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like: paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of shock or injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tools may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator. Do not drill,
fasten or break into existing walls or other
blind areas where electrical wiring may exist.
If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all
fuses or circuit breakers feeding this
worksite.
Always hold the tool with both hands. If
the bit jams two hands will give you
maximum control over torque reaction or
kickback.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a
dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.
Secure the material being drilled. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs.
Unstable support can cause the drill bit to
bind causing loss of control and injury.

Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on
(1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and
(3) product using battery.
Use only the charger which accompanied
your product or direct replacement as
listed in the catalog or this manual. Do
not substitute any other charger. Use only
Skil battery charger Nos 96PP, and 1214PP
with your product.
Do not disassemble charger or operate
the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way. Replace damaged
cord or plugs immediately. Incorrect
reassembly or damage may result in electric
shock or fire.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to
rain or snow. If battery case is cracked or
otherwise damaged, do not insert into
charger. Battery short or fire may result.
Charge only Skil Nos. 96BAT, 120BAT, &
144BAT rechargeable batteries with the
above listed chargers. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury
and damage.
Charge battery pack in temperatures
above +40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and
-4-
Battery/Charger
Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or side handle and walls
or posts. Should the bit become bound or
jammed in the work, the reaction torque of
the tool could crush your hand or leg.
If the bit becomes bound in the
workpiece, release the trigger
immediately, reverse the direction of
rotation and slowly squeeze the trigger to
back out the bit. Be ready for a strong
reaction torque. The drill body will tend to
twist in the opposite direction as the drill bit
is rotating.
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands
too close to the spinning chuck or drill bit.
Your hand may be lacerated.
When installing a drill bit, insert the shank
of the bit well within the jaws of the
chuck. If the bit is not inserted deep
enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is
reduced and the loss of control is increased.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. Dull or damaged bits have a
greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.
When removing the bit from the tool avoid
contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the bit or
accessory. Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
Check to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the drill
before switching the tool "ON". Keys or
wrenches can fly away at high velocity
striking you or a bystander.
Do not run the drill while carrying it at
your side. A spinning drill bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may
result.
This tool may be used with sanding and
polishing disks, grinding wheels, wire
wheel and wire cup brushes. These
accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning
label. Wheels and other accessories
running over rated speed can fly apart and
cause injury.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheels,
discs or brushes especially when working
corners, sharp edges, etc. This can cause
loss of control and kickback.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be
controlled from the minimum to the
maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure
you apply to the trigger. Apply more
pressure to increase the speed and release
pressure to decrease speed. This accurate
speed control enables you to drill without
center punching. It also permits you to use
as a power screwdriver. Bits are available for
driving screws as well as running bolts and
nuts (Fig. 1).
FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &
TRIGGER LOCK
Your tool is equipped with a forward/
reversing lever and trigger lock located
above the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was
designed for changing rotation of the chuck,
and for locking the trigger in an “OFF”
position to help prevent accidental starts
and accidental battery discharge. For
forward rotation, (with chuck pointed away
from you) move the lever to the far left. For
reverse rotation move the lever to the far
right. To activate trigger lock move lever to
the center off position.
Do not change direction of
rotation until the tool
comes to a complete stop. Shifting during
rotation of the chuck can cause damage to
the tool.
ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH
Your tool features 5 clutch settings. Output
torque will increase as the clutch ring, is
rotated from 1 to 5. The drill “ ” position will
permit drilling and driving heavy duty work,
and also enables bits to be changed quickly
and easily in the keyless chuck (Fig. 2).
INSERTING BIT
For small bits, open jaws enough to insert
the bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert
the bit as far as it will go. Center the bit as
you close the jaws by hand. This positions
the bit properly, giving maximum contact
between the chuck jaws and the bit shank.
To tighten, hold the chuck collar firmly with
one hand and securely tighten the chuck
sleeve with the other hand (Fig. 3).
Do not use the power of
the drill while grasping
chuck to loosen or tighten bit. Friction
burn or hand injury is possible if attempting
to grasp the spinning chuck.
REMOVING CHUCK
Rotate the clutch ring to the drill bit symbol
“ ”. Open the chuck all the way, remove lefthand thread screw inside chuck by turning it
clockwise. Insert the short arm of a 3/8" hex
key wrench and close jaws on flats of
wrench. Strike long arm of wrench sharply
counterclockwise, remove wrench and
unthread chuck from spindle (Fig. 4).
INSTALLING CHUCK
Always keep the spindle threads, the threads
of the chuck and securing screw free of
debris. To install a chuck, reverse “removing
the chuck” procedure.
RELEASING AND INSERTING
BATTERY PACK
Release battery pack from tool by pressing
on both sides of the battery release tabs and
pull downwards. To insert battery, align
battery and slide battery pack into tool until it
locks into position (Fig.1). Do not force.

plug is properly connected to the standard
power outlet and power is available. If power
is available, then the unit may be defective.
Please return the unit to a qualified service
center for repair or replacement.
Note: This tool is not intended for
continuous use. When used continuously,
use a duty cycle of one minute ON, and 60
minutes OFF.
CHARGING BATTERY PACK
Plug power plug into your standard power
outlet, then insert the battery pack into the
charger port in the power station/ charger
unit. The charger’s green light will turn "ON".
This indicates the battery pack is charging.
The green light remains "ON" as long as
battery is in charger and does not shut off
Fig. 1.
If the power light turns red, then the green
charging light will turn off and the battery
pack will not charge until the base unit cools
down and the manual reset button is
pushed.
After normal usage, the battery pack
requires approximately 3 hour charging time
to reach full capacity.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
unplug the charger (unless you’re charging
another battery pack) and slip the battery
pack into the tool handle.
Note: It is OK to charge the battery pack
while using the corded back-up to power a
tool. The green charging light indicator may
dim or turn off when the tool is being loaded.
The green light will return when the tool is
turned off.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. The battery pack accepts only about 80%
of its maximum capacity with its first few
charge cycles. However, after the first few
charge cycles, the battery will charge to full
capacity.
2. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery
temperature is between 40˚F (4˚C) and 105˚F
(41˚C).
3. 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.
4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month
or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to
run your tool down until it is fully discharged
before storing your battery pack. After a long
period of storage, the capacity at first
recharge will be lower. Normal capacity will be

restored in two or three charge/discharge
cycles. Remember to unplug charger during
storage period.
5. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by
plugging in some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to
a light switch which turns power “off” when
lights are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.
Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if
necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
take or send tool, battery pack and charger
to your local Skil Service Center. See “Tools,
Electric” in the Yellow Pages for names and
addresses.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not
sold by Skil may void the warranty.
DRILLING WOOD OR PLASTIC
If backing block is not used, ease up on the
pressure just before the bit breaks through
the wood to avoid splintering. Complete the
hole from the opposite side immediately
after the point breaks through. If bit binds,
reverse the drilling operation to help remove
the bit from the work.
DRILLING METAL
Make a center punch in the material for
easier starting. Use enough pressure to keep
the bit cutting. If the bit is allowed to merely
spin in the hole, it will become dull within a
short time. When drilling a larger hole, it is
faster and easier on your power pack to first
make a smaller hole and enlarge it to the
required size. Lubricate the tip of the bit
occasionally with CUTTING OIL for easier
metal drilling. If bit binds, reverse the drilling
to help remove the bit from the work.
It is not recommended to drill holes larger
than 3/8" diameter through soft steel thicker
than 1/8". Drilling through metal rapidly
drains energy from your power pack.
DRILLING MASONRY
Use carbide-tipped masonry bit for cinder
block, mortar, common brick, soft stone and
other materials. The amount of pressure to
be used is dependent upon the type of
material being drilled. Soft materials require
less pressure while the hard materials need
more pressure to prevent the drill bit from
spinning.
FASTENING WITH SCREWS
This procedure shown in (Fig. 6) will enable
you to fasten materials together with your
Cordless Drill/Screwdriver without stripping,
splitting or separating the material.
First, clamp the pieces together and drill the
first hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. If the
material is soft, drill only 2/3 the proper
length. If it is hard, drill the entire length.
Second, unclamp the pieces and drill the
second hole the same diameter as the screw
shank in the first or top piece of wood.
Third, if flat head screw is used, countersink
the hole to make the screw flush with the
surface. Then, simply apply even pressure
when driving the screw. The screw shank
clearance hole in the first piece allows the
screw head to pull the pieces tightly
together.
The adjustable screw drill accessory will do
all of these operations quickly and easily.
Screw drills are available for screw sizes No.
6, 8, 10 and 12.
2. Drill same diameter as
screw shank.
3. Countersink
same diameter
as screw head.
