Battery/Charger
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
approved chargers with your product. See
Functional Description and Specifications.
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 approved rechargeable
batteries. See Functional Description and
Specifications. Other types of batteries may
burst causing personal injury and damage.
Charge battery pack in temperatures
above +40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and
below +105 degrees F (41 degrees C).
Store tool and battery pack in locations
where temperatures will not exceed 120
degrees F (49 degrees C). This is important
to prevent serious damage to the battery
cells.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme
usage or temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. The battery
liquid is caustic and could cause chemical

WARNING
Sometimes erratic behavior or loss of control
of the car is the result of interference which is
caused by high tension wires, high-voltage
transformers, certain types of buildings,
concrete walls or narrow places where radio
signals can be easily affected; if you
encounter this type of behavior or loss of
control, change to a different location for
playing the toy.
You may encounter interference if another
radio-controlled car or CB radio is operating
in the vicinity on your same frequency
Radio Interference
FCC CAUTION:
The manufacturer is not responsible for radio interference caused by unauthorized
modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
-4-
When not in use, turn the power switch off.
Remove the battery pack and the 9V battery
after use in order to prevent any possible
leakage.
When the car slows down, or the control range
decreases, it is time for recharging the battery
pack or replacing the 9V battery.
If the car moves poorly and you have installed a
fresh battery pack, check if the wheels have
picked up lint (lint, threads, hair and dust in the
wheel bearings slow down the car); carefully
remove such materials from the wheel bearings.
Remove battery pack from car before checking.

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 charger’s or battery packs not
sold by Skil will void the warranty.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet. Before inserting battery pack, remove
protective cap, then insert battery pack into
charger (Fig. 6).
The charger’s green light (Fig. 7), will turn
“ON”. The green light remains ‘‘ON’’ as long as
charger is plugged in, and does not shut off.
After normal usage, the battery pack requires
approximately 3 hours or less charging time
to become fully charged. If the battery pack
is run-down completely, it may require up to
5hours charging time to become fully
charged.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
unplug the charger (unless you're charging
another battery pack) and slip the battery
pack back into the tool handle.
To prevent fire or injury when batteries are
not in tool or charger, always place protective
cap onto end of battery pack.

Accessories
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 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

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.
Long term battery storage should be in
the discharged state. Battery packs last
longer and re-charge better when they are
stored discharged. Remember to fully re-
charge battery packs before using after
prolonged storage.
Cleaning
Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.
