• The built-in LED light is designed to illu- minate the small work area temporarily.

Do not use it as a substitute for a regu- lar flashlight, since it does not have enough brightness

• L ED 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 specied herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.-

(3) Overheat warning lamp Off (normal operation) Illuminated: Overheat (motor) Flashing: Overheat (battery) Indicates operation has been halted due to motor or battery overheating. To protect the motor or battery, be sure to note the following when carrying out this operation.

• If the motor or battery becomes hot, the protection function will be activated and the motor or battery will stop operating. The overheat warning lamp on the control panel illuminates or ashes when this feature is active.

• If the overheating protection feature activates, allow the tool to cool thoroughly (at least 30 minutes). The tool is ready for use when the overheat warning lamp goes out.

• Avoid using the tool in a way that causes the overheating protection feature to activate repeatedly.

• If the tool is operated continuously under high-load conditions or if it is used in hot-temperature conditions (such as during summer), the overheating protection feature may activate frequently.

• If the tool is used in cold-temperature conditions (such as during winter) or if it is frequently stopped during use, the overheating protection feature may not activate.

• The performance of the EY9L42 deteriorates significantly at and below 10°C due to work conditions and other factors.

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

• Use the charger at temperatures between 0°C and 40°C, and charge the battery at a temperature similar to that of the battery itself. (There should be no more than a 15°C difference between the temperatures of the battery and the charging location.) (4) Battery low warning lamp Off (normal operation) Flashing (No charge) Battery protection feature active Excessive (complete) discharging of lithium 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.

• If it is started with too little battery power remaining, the tool may stop operating without the battery low warning lamp flashing first. This indicates that there is too little battery power remaining to use the tool, and the battery pack should be charged before further use.

• If the tool is subject to a sudden load during use that causes the motor to lock up, the over current prevention sensor may be triggered, and the impact power select display may flash. The lamp will stop flashing once you address the cause of the motor’s locking up and cycle the trigger. Recommended Grip Use the grip to hold and operate the driver with one hand. If the job requires additional force, you can push against the rear end of the driver with your other hand.-

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

• When charging the battery pack, confirm that the terminals on the battery charger are free of foreign substances such as dust and water etc. Clean the terminals before charging the battery pack if any foreign substances are found on the terminals. The life of the battery pack terminals may be affected by foreign substances such as dust and water etc. during operation.

• Whenbatterypackisnotinuse,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.

• When the battery pack is removed from the main body of the tool, replace the battery pack cover immediately in order to prevent dust or dirt from contaminating the battery terminals 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, replace the battery pack with a new one. Battery Recycling ATTENTION: For environmental protection and recy- cling of materials, be sure that it is dis- posed of at an officially assigned loca- tion, if there is one in your country. [Battery Charger] Charging Cautions

• If the temperature of the battery pack falls approximately below −10°C (14°F), charging will automatically stop to prevent degradation of the battery.

• The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature isbelow0°C(32°F),thetool may fail to function properly.

• Use thechargerattemperatures between 0°C and 40°C, and charge the battery at a temperature similar to that of the battery itself. (There should be no more than a 15°Cdifferencebetweenthetemperatures ofthebatteryandthecharginglocation.)

• Whenchargingacoolbatterypack(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 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.

TORQUE The power required for tightening a bolt will vary, according to bolt material and size, as well as the material being bolted. Choose the length of tightening time accordingly.Reference values are provided below.(They may vary according to tightening conditions.) Factors Affecting Tighten- ing Torque The tightening torque is affected by a widevariety of factors including the followings. After tightening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.1) VoltageWhen the battery pack becomes near-ly discharged, the voltage decreases and the tightening torque drops.

Longer tightening time results in increased tightening torque. Excessive tightening, how ever, adds no value and reduces the life of the tool.

3) Different bolt diameters

The size of the bolt diameter affects the tight ening torque. Generally, as the bolt diameter increases, tightening torque rises.

4) Tightening conditions

Tightening torque will vary, even with the same bolt, according to grade, length, and torque coefficient (the fixed coefficient indi- cated by the manufacturer upon produc- tion). Tightening torque will vary, even with the same bolting material (e.g. steel), accord ing to the surface finish. Torque is greatly reduced when the bolt and nut start turning together.

Torque is lowered as the six-sided configu ration of the socket of the wrong size is used to tighten a bolt.

6) Switch (Variable speed control trigger)

Torque is lowered if the unit is used with the switch not fully depressed.

7) Effect of Connecting Adaptor
