. INTENDED USE This tool is a Rotary Hammer for drill- ing in concrete. In addition, the tool has a “rotation only mode” without hammering. The mode is suitable for metal-drilling, wood-drilling. Read “Safety Instructions” booklet and the following before using. . ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1) Use auxiliary handle (support

handle) supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

2) Be aware that this tool is always

in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.

3) Hold power tools by insulat-

ed gripping surfaces when per- forming an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring; contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the opera- tor.

4) If the bit becomes jammed, im-

mediately turn the main switch off to prevent an overload which can damage the battery pack or mo- tor. Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.

Do not operate the Forward/Reverse lever when the main switch is on. The battery will discharge rapidly and dam- age to the unit may occur.

6) Use only a dry, soft cloth for wiping

the unit. Do not use a damp cloth, thinner, benzine, or other volatile solvents for cleaning.

When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the cent- er position (switch lock).

8) Do not strain the tool by holding

the speed control trigger halfway (speed control mode) so that the motor stops. The protection cir- cuit will activate and may prevent speed control operation. If this hap- pens, release the speed control trigger and squeeze again for nor- mal operation.

9) Be careful not to get dust inside the

10) Do not touch the rotating parts to

11) Do not continue to use the tool for

a long time. Stop using the tool from time to time to avoid that the temperature of the motor rises too high.

12) Do not drop the tool.

13) Wear ear protection. Exposure to

noise can cause hearing loss.

14) Do not put the tool on the place

where the chuck cover is de- pressed. The bit may come off from the chuck cover and fall down when the chuck cover is de- pressed. It may cause injuries. Symbol meaning V Volts Direct current

Battery pack For Appropriate Use of Bat tery Pack Li-ion Battery Pack (EY9L80)

• For optimum battery life, store the Li-ion battery pack following use without charging it.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal ob- jects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small met- al objects that can make a connec- tion from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals togeth- er may cause sparks, burns or a fire.

• When operating the battery pack, make sure the work place is well ventilated.

• When the battery pack is removed from the main body of the tool, re- place the battery pack cover imme- diately in order to prevent dust or dirt from contaminating the battery termi- nals and causing a short circuit. Battery Pack Life The rechargeable batteries have a lim- ited life. If the operation time becomes extremely short after recharging, re- place 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 as- signed location, if there is one in your country. Battery charger Charging Cautions for the Li-ion Battery Pack

Make sure the terminals of the battery charger are not contaminated with liquid, grease or other substances before charging the battery pack. If you notice the terminals of the battery charger contaminated, be sure to wipe or take them off before use. The life of the battery pack may adversely be affected when the terminals are clogged with the dust or dirt which becomes solid with liquid or grease.

If the temperature of the battery pack falls approximately below -10°C (14°F), charging will automatically stop to prevent degradation of battery. Common Cautions for the Li- ion/Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Pack

• The ambient temperature range is be- tween 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the bat- tery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly.

• When charging a cool battery pack (below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the-

level of the ambient temperature.

• Cool down the charger when charg- ing more than two battery packs con- secutively.

• Do not insert your fingers into con- tact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions. CAUTION: To prevent the risk of fire or dam- age 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. Li-ion Battery Pack NOTE: Your battery pack is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Be sure to charge the battery before use. Battery charger (EY0L80)

3. During charging, the charging lamp

will be lit. When charging is completed, an inter- nal electronic switch will automatically be triggered to prevent overcharging.

Charging will not start if the battery pack is warm (for example, immedi- ately after heavy-duty operation). The orange standby lamp will be flashing until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically.

4. The charge lamp (green) will

flash slowly once the battery is approximately 80% charged.

5. When charging is completed, the

charging lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.

If the temperature of the battery pack is 0°C (32°F) or less, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack than the standard charging time. Even when the battery is fully charged, it will have approximately 50% of the power of a fully charged battery at normal operating temperature.

If the power lamp does not light immediately after the charger is plugged in, or if after the standard charging time the charging lamp does not flash quickly in green, con- sult an authorized service center.

8. If a fully charged battery pack is in-

serted into the charger again, the charging lamp lights up. After sev- eral minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate the charging is completed.

9. Remove the battery pack while the

battery pack release button is held up. Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Pack NOTE: When you charge the battery pack for the first time, or after prolonged stor- age, charge it for about 24 hours to bring the battery up to full capacity. Battery charger (EY0L80)

1. If there isn’t enough force pushing down on the bit, the hammer may not be able

to blow in hammering mode. This is to prevent the hammering mode from operating with no load. Press down harder on the bit to engage the hammer and cause it to blow. Always be sure to press down with enough force when working.

2. In winter or in other situations where the temperature of the unit is low (5°C or be-

low), the blow of the hammering mode may be weaker than normal at the begin- ning stage. This is because the grease becomes stiffer in low temperatures, increasing fric- tion. If this should happen, operating hammering mode with no load for approximately 30 seconds and repeat this 3 times. This will restore its blowing power. .
