. INTENDED USE This tool is a Cordless Impact Driver/Wrench and can be used to tighten bolts, nuts, and screws. Additionally, it provides a torque con-trol function that automatically stops tool oper-ation when a preset load is reached to deliver consistent tightening torque.Read “the Safety Instructions” booklet and the following before using.

) Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. When screwing or driving into walls, floors, etc., “live” electrical wires may be encoun-tered. DO NOT TOUCH THE HEX QUICK CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock in case you screw or drive into a “live” wire. Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse lever when the main switch is on. The bat-tery will discharge rapidly and damage to the unit may occur. During charging, the charger may become slightly warm. This is normal. o NOT charge the battery for a long period.6) When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center posi-tion (switch lock).

• The tightening confirmation lamp can be used to check whether the torque control function was activated.Tool status Lamp displayTightening complete(with torque control function operation)Green(For approx. 2 seconds) Tightening not complete• Tightening complete with retightening within 1 second Red (For approx. 2 seconds)The automatic stop function has been activated. Red (For approx. 5 minutes)-

• When the tool stops automatically after the switch is released during impact- mode tightening and then reengaged within 1 second, the red lamp will light up to indicate the risk of excessive torque application as a result of retightening. NOTE

The tightening confirmation lamp will not turn on under the following conditions:

When the torque clutch is set to “F”

• During reverse rotation operation

• The lamp turns off when the tool is in operation. Control Panel (1) (2) (3) (1) LED light Pressing the button toggles the LED light on and off. The light illuminates with very low current, and it does not adversely affect the performance

the tool during use or its battery capacity. CAUTION:

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

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. (2) The battery indication lamp

• Use the battery indication lamp to check how much power is left in the battery.

Battery life varies slightly with ambient tem- perature and battery characteristics. The lamp is designed to provide a rough indica- tion of remaining battery life. Battery indication lamp Indicator Battery status Fully charged Approx. 40% or less remaining Flashing Flashing Approx. 20% or less remaining (indicates need to recharge battery) The battery pack will need to be charged soon. Flashing No charge The battery pack needs to be charged. (The tool’s automatic power-off function will activate at this stage.) Automatic power-off function

• The automatic power-off function is designed to prevent a loss of tightening torque due to reduced battery voltage. Once it has been activated, the tool will not operate until the battery pack has been charged (or re- placed with a fresh unit), even if the trigger is depressed. Battery indication lamp Indicator Flashing-

• All 3 bars on the battery indication lamp will flash when the automatic power-off function is activated.

When the battery indication lamp begins flashing, the battery pack should be charged (or replaced with a fresh unit) immediately.

Be sure to fully charge the battery pack in question after activation of the auto- matic power-off function. Failure to do so may prevent the automatic power-off function from being properly deactivated. (3) The torque control function

• The torque control function calculates the load from the motor’s rotational angle during the hammer impact and determines that the bolt has been properly seated when a pre- set load value is exceeded. Driving is then automatically stopped after a preset number of impacts have been delivered to the bolt. CAUTION:

Always check the tool’s tightening torque before use. Improper tool operation may result in excessive or inadequate tight- ening. CAUTION:

Always operate the tool with the switch fully engaged. The torque control func- tion will not operate when the switch is not sufficiently engaged, preventing the tool from stopping automatically.

In work where a heavy load comes to bear during tightening, the load may be interpreted as the seating of the bolt, preventing the bolt from being com- pletely tightened.

Repeated tightening of the same bolt may break the bolt or deform the mate- rial into which the bolt is being driven as a result of excessive tightening.

The tightening torque value and preci- sion vary with factors such as the mate- rial into which the bolt is being driven and the condition of the socket being used. Adjust the torque as necessary for the work being performed. Bolt tight- ening torque varies due to the factors described below.

Bolt diameter: Tightening torque gener- ally increases with bolt diameter.

Torque coefficient (indicated by the bolt manufacturer), grade, length, etc.

• Bit and socket condition: Material, amount of play, etc.

Use of a universal joint or socket adapter
