Operating Instructions

The Skil model 2410 Cordless Drill/Driver has a collet 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.
