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.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated and is ready for use.
D.C. MOTORS
The motor in your tool has been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend it be examined every six months. Only a genuine Skil replacement motor specially designed for your tool should be used.

with compressed air.

ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.
Accessories
! WARNING If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use
