- Do not drive the likes of nails into the battery pack, subject it to shocks, dismantle it, or attempt to modify it.
- Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery pack terminals.
- Do not carry or store the battery pack in the same container as nails or similar metal objects.
- Do not charge the battery pack in a high-temperature location, such as next to a fire or in direct sunlight. Otherwise, the battery may overheat, catch fire, or explode.
- Never use other than the dedicated charger to charge the battery pack. Otherwise, the battery may leak, overheat, or explode.
- When the Battery Pack Has Deteriorated, Replace It with a New One. Continued use of a damaged battery pack may result in heat generation, ignition or battery rupture.
ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
Hexagonal Bit Chuck Attaching the bits
NOTE:
When attaching or removing drill bits, disconnect the battery pack from the tool and switch the lock button into the lock position.
- Hold the collar of the chuck and pull it out from the driver.
- Insert the bit into the chuck. Release the collar.
- The collar will return to its original position when it is released.
- Pull the bit to make sure it does not come out.
- To remove the bit, pull out the collar in the same way.
Clutch Handle (Clutch Torque Setting)
Adjust the torque to one of the 1 possible settings to the job. There is an interval of about 0.13 N·m (1.3 k f-cm or 1.1 in-lbs) between steps.
CAUTION:
Test the setting before actual operation.
- When using at high speeds, set the clutch at 10 or below. (Operation stops at the maximum torque of 1.5 N·m (15 kgf-cm) when the scale is higher.)
- The auto shut-off function may become inoperable at high clutch settings when battery power drops. Recharge the battery in that case.
NOTE:
The chart is only a reference. The torque settings may differ by materials, types of screws, etc. Please test it at your own conditions before use.
Battery Low Warning Lamp
Excessive (complete) discharging of Li-ion batteries shortens their service life dramatically. The driver includes a battery protection feature designed to prevent excessive discharging of the battery pack.
- The battery protection feature activates immediately before the battery loses its charge, causing the battery low warning lamp to flash.
- If you notice the battery low warning lamp flashing, charge the battery pack immediately.
Using the LED Light
Before the use of LED light, always pull the power switch once. Press the LED light on button. The light illuminates with very low current, and it does not adversely affect the performance of the tool during use or its battery capacity.
CAUTION:
- The built-in LED light is designed to illuminate the small work area temporarily.
- Do not use it as a substitute for a regular flashlight, since it does not have enough brightness.
- LED light turns off when the tool has not been used for 5 minutes.
Caution : DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Bit-locking Function
With the switch at off and the bit locked in place, the tool can be used as a manual screw-driver – up to 14.7 N·m (150 kgf-cm, 130 in-lbs). There will be a little play in the driving shaft, but this is not a malfunction.
Main Switch (ON/OFF)
Push the upper half of the switch for forward rotation, or the lower half for reverse rotation.
Speed Selector Switch
To suit the application of this tool, two different rotational speeds are available. Depending upon use, either the high or low speed should be selected.
CAUTION:
- Check speed selector switch before use.
- Do not operate the speed selector switch while the main switch is on (switch is in the ON position).
Main Switch Lock
After use, set the main switch lock at the lock position to prevent accidental operation.
Battery Pack
CAUTION:
- Remove the battery pack away from the tool.
- Charge the battery pack using the battery charger.
- After charging has been completed, remove the battery pack from the charger and connect it to the tool. Disconnect the charger from the power source when not in use.
NOTE:
Use under extremely hot or cold conditions will reduce operating capacity per charge.
[Battery Pack] For Appropriate Use of Battery pack
Li-ion Battery pack
- For optimum battery life, store the Lion battery pack following use without charging it.
- The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (3 °F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (3 °F), the tool may fail to function properly.
- When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
- When operating the battery pack, make sure the work place is well ventilated.
Battery Pack Life
The rechargeable batteries have a limited life. If the operation time becomes extremely short after recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one.
Battery Recycling ATTENTION:
For environmental protection and recycling of materials, be sure that it is disposed of at an officially assigned location, if there is one in your country.
[Battery Charger]
Charging Common Cautions for the Liion/ Ni-Cd Battery Pack
NOTE:
- When a cold battery (of about 0°C or less) is to be charged in a warm room, leave the battery in the room for at least one hour and charge it when it has warmed up to room temperature. (Failing to do so may result in less than a full charge.)
- Cool down the charger when charging more than two battery packs consecutively.
- Do not insert your fingers into contact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions.
CAUTION:
To prevent the risk of fire or damage to the battery charger.
- Do not use power source from an engine generator.
- Do not cover vent holes on the charger and the battery pack.
- Unplug the charger when not in use.
