Operating Instructions

The Skil model 2362 Cordless Drill/Driver has a chuck that accepts only standard 1/4” hexagonal shank accessories with power groove. The low RPM capability of this model is not a deficiency. On the contrary, low speed means high torque and high torque is a definite plus for efficient drilling and driving. The low speed also provides more control to prevent stripout of the screw and damage to the work surface.

INSERTING AND REMOVING

ACCESSORIES

!WARNING To avoid loss of control, ensure bit is locked in chuck

by pulling on bit after it has been inserted.

Your tool is equipped with a quick release chuck. To insert an accessory, simply pull locking sleeve forward, insert desired accessory into chuck and release locking sleeve (Fig. 4).

To remove an accessory, pull locking sleeve forward and simply remove it from the chuck.

One inch bits should only be used along with a bit holder as shown in figure 4.

TRIGGER SWITCH

Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger. The speed can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed (Fig. 3).

STALL PROTECTION

This tool has a stall protection feature built into it to protect the motor and battery in the event of a stall. During operation, if you stall

the tool for too long or repeatedly, it will automatically turn itself off. Simply release the trigger switch for 3 seconds, then squeeze the trigger switch to continue

operation. When the battery becomes close to empty, the tool may shut down automatically more frequently than normal. If this happens, it is time to recharge the battery.

FORWARD/REVERSING

LEVER & TRIGGER LOCK

!WARNING After tool use, lock trigger in “OFF” position to help prevent

accidental starts and accidental discharge.

Your tool is equipped with a forward/ reversing lever and trigger lock located above the trigger (Fig. 3). This lever was designed for changing rotation of the bit, and for locking the trigger in an “OFF” position.

FORWARD/REVERSE INDICATOR LIGHTS Your tool is equipped with lights which indicate the rotation of the bit.

For forward rotation, (with bit pointed away from you) move the lever to the far left and a green indicator light depicting a forward arrow will light up.

For reverse rotation move the lever to the far right and the green indicator light depicting a reverse arrow will light up.

To stop in either direction just release the trigger. To activate trigger lock move lever to the center off position (Fig. 3).
