Maintenance / Service - Skil 2055 Originalbetriebsanleitung

- ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting into charger
- do not charge at temperatures below 0°C and over
40°C; this will seriously damage the battery as well
as the charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
! a battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a
few minutes of operation; this may result in a
reduction of operating time and battery effi ciency
- the nickel-metalhydride battery must be kept
separate from the natural environment and should
not be disposed of as normal domestic waste
(symbol 0 will remind you of this when the need for
disposing occurs)
! prior to disposal protect battery terminals with
heavy tape to prevent short-circuit
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool,
it is best to unplug the charger from its power source
• Loading cartridges #
- open a standard cartridge with a utility knife
- mount the nozzle on top of the opened cartridge
- cut off at least 2 cm of the nozzle tip at a 45° angle,
so that the opening is large enough when using the
highest speed setting
- push switch A to the left
- push plunger B back to its starting position until it
snap-locks (no snap-locking results later on in
malfunctioning of the plunger)
- open cartridge cover C
- insert cartridge until its base reaches the back of
carriage frame D
- close cartridge cover C
• On/off $
- push switch A to the right to unlock trigger switch E
- switch on/off tool by pressing/releasing trigger
switch E
- the tool switches off automatically when the cartridge
is empty
! ensure that switch A is in the locking position
after each use %
• Variable speed ^
- with wheel F the sealant fl ow output can be adjusted
(6 positions)
- before starting a job, fi nd the optimal speed by
testing out on spare material
! if the tool does not run with wheel F in position 1,
adjust the speed while pressing trigger switch
E 2 until the optimal setting is found
• Applying sealant &
- ensure that the area to be sealed is clean and dry
(remove old sealant, if applicable)
- after pushing switch A to the right, press trigger
switch E to start the sealant fl ow output
- hold the tool at a slight angle and carefully move the
tool at an even pace along the gap/crack to be fi lled
while pressing trigger switch E

- ensure that the sealant comes in full contact with
both surfaces to be sealed
- release trigger switch E for ending the sealant fl ow
output
- to avoid spilling of sealant, push switch A to the left
immediately after releasing trigger switch E
- draw a moistened fi nger along the sealant fl ow after
applying and use a clean, damp cloth to remove any
excess sealant
! remove any residuary sealant from the cartridge
nozzle and carriage frame
• Electronic overload protection
Stops the motor automatically in case too much
pressure is applied on the cartridge thus preventing the
tool and cartridge from damage
- release trigger switch E
- allow the electronics to re-set for 5 seconds
- press trigger switch E
- if motor stops again, move wheel F to the middle
position, and press trigger switch E again
To avoid overload, always ensure that
- the nozzle tip is cut off at least 2 cm
- hardened material is removed from the nozzle
- the cartridge is not damaged or frozen
- the carriage frame is free of sealant
- the lowest possible speed setting is selected
• Troubleshooting
In case halfway the sealing job plunger B 2 stops
moving forward
- switch off the tool
- remove cartridge from carriage frame D 2
- push switch A 2 to the left
! push plunger B back to its starting position until it
snap-locks
- insert cartridge again
- push switch A to the right
- press trigger switch E 2 to continue the sealing job
• Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated at the back of this
instruction manual has been measured in accordance
with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it may be
used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with
different or poorly maintainted accessories, may
signifi cantly increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may
signifi cantly reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration by
maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping
your hands warm, and organizing your work
patterns
