of depression of the trigger. When beginning work, depress the trigger slightly to start the rotation slowly.

2. A feedback electronic controller is used

to give a strong torque even in low speed.

3. The brake operates when the trigger

is released and the motor stops immediately. NOTE: When the brake operates, a braking sound may be heard. This is normal. CAUTION: When operating the tool by pulling the trigger, there may be a momentary lag before rotation starts. This does not signal a malfunction. Alignment marks Button EY7441_EY7940_EY7443_EY74A1_Book.indb 10 2012-12-11 9:21:08- 11 -

• This lag occurs as the tool’s circuitry starts up when the trigger is pulled for the rst time after installing a new battery pack or after the tool has not been used for at least 1 minute (or at least 5 minutes when the LED is on). Rotation will start without any lag during second and subsequent operations. Switch and Forward/Reverse Lever Operation CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not operate Forward/Reverse lever until the bit comes to a complete stop. Forward Rotation Switch Operation

1. Push the lever for forward rotation.

2. Depress the trigger switch slightly to

start the tool slowly.

3. The speed increases with the amount

of depression of the trigger for efcient tightening of screws and drilling. The brake operates and the chuck stops immediately when the trigger is released.

4. After use, set the lever to its center

position (switch lock). Reverse Rotation Switch Operation

1. Push the lever for reverse rotation. Check

the direction of rotation before use.

2. Depress the trigger switch slightly to

start the tool slowly. Forward Reverse Switch lock

3. After use, set the lever to its center

position (switch lock). Clutch Torque Setting Adjust the torque to one of the 18 clutch settings or “ ” position (EY7441, EY74A1). Adjust the torque to one of the 18 clutch settings or “ ”, “ ” position (EY7940). NOTE: Always make sure to stop operation of the tool and disengage it from the work, when you select Hammering mode from Drilling mode or when you shift to Drilling mode from Hammering mode by rotating clutch handle. CAUTION: Set the clutch setting at this mark ( ) before actual operation. If the clutch handle cannot be set at “drilling” or “hammering” mode after driving with clutch function, set the clutch handle at position 1 and operate the clutch for a second. Speed Selection Choose a low or high speed to suit the use. (EY7441, EY7940, EY74A1) The more the variable speed control trigger is pulled, the higher the speed becomes. Choose a low, high or auto speed to suite the use (EY7443) LOW AUTOHIGH LOW HIGH EY7441_EY7940_EY7443_EY74A1_Book.indb 11 2012-12-11 9:21:09- 12 - The more the variable speed control trigger is pulled, the higher the speed becomes. The EY7443 offers AUTO mode, which detects the load on the tool and automatically switches between HIGH and LOW speed operation. When the load is low, the tool always starts operation in HIGH speed. When the tightening torque increases, the tool switches to LOW speed. Keep a secure grip on the tool so that it doesn’t twist out of your hands due to the increased torque. When operating in AUTO mode, whether and when the tool switches between HIGH and LOW s p e ed operation will depend on the specific work conditions. These variations in tool behavior are normal and do not represent a malfunction. NOTE: When selecting AUTO on the EY7443 During AUTO mode operation, the tool may switch to LOW speed under light loads if there is little remaining battery life or if the battery pack temperature is low (0°C or less). In this case, charge the battery pack or place the battery pack in a warm location for at least one hour to allow it to warm up before use. Depending on the load, the tool may switch back and forth between HIGH and LOW speed operation multiple times. If this switching is undesirable, set the tool to HIGH or LOW speed manually. CAUTION: Check the speed selector switch

before use. Use at low speed when high torque

is needed during operation. (Using at high speed when high torque is requi r ed ma y cau se a m otor breakdown.) Do not operate the speed selector

switch (LOW-HIGH) while pulling on the speed control trigger. This can cause the rechargeable battery to wear quickly or damage the internal mechanism of the motor.

increase of the tool surface, do not operate the tool continuously using two or more battery packs. The tool needs cool-off time before switching to another pack. Do not close up vent holes on the

sides of the body during operation. Otherwise, the machine function is adversely affected to cause a failure. Do NOT strain the tool (motor). This

may cause damage to the unit. Use the tool in such a way as to

prevent the air from the body vent holes from blowing directly onto your skin. Otherwise, you may get burned. Bit-locking Function

1. With the trigger switch not engaged

and a screwdriver bit locked in place, the tool can be used as a manual screwdriver (up to 22.6 N·m, 230 kgf-cm, 199 in-lbs). There will be a little play in the chuck, but this is not a malfunction.

2. This feature is handy for tightening

screws that require more torque than the maximum torque of the driver (position on the clutch), for conrming the tightness of a screw or to loosen an extremely tight screw. EY7441_EY7940_EY7443_EY74A1_Book.indb 12 2012-12-11 9:21:10- 13 - How to Use the Belt Hook WARNING! Be sure to attach the belt hook

securelyto the main unit with the screw firmly fastened. When the belt hook is not rmly attached to the main unit, the hook may disconnect and the main unit may fall. This may result in an accident or injury. Periodically check screw for tightness.

If found to be loose, tighten rmly. Be sure to attach the belt hook firmly

and securely onto a waist belt or other belt. Pay attention that the unit does not slip off the belt. This may result in an accident or injury. When the main unit is held by the belt

hook, avoid jumping or running with it. Doing so may cause the hook to slip and the main unit may fall. This may result in an accident or injury. When the belt hook is not used, be sure

to return it to the storing position. The belt hook may catch on something. This may result in an accident or injury. When the unit is hooked onto the waist

belt by the belt hook, do not attach driver bits to the unit. A sharp edge object, such as a drill bit, may cause injury or an accident. To Change the Belt Hook Location Side The belt hook can be attached to either side of the unit.

2. Attaching the hook to the other side

(1) Insert the hook in the other side. (2) Tighten the nut fully so that it securely fastened. Control Panel (1)(1) (3) (2) EY7441/EY7940/EY74A1 EY7443 (1) LED light Before the use of LED light, always pull the power switch once. Press the LED light 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. (2) Overheat warning lamp Off (normal operation) Illuminated: Overheat (motor) Flashing: Overheat (battery) Indicates operation has been halted due to motor or battery overheating. EY7441_EY7940_EY7443_EY74A1_Book.indb 13 2012-12-11 9:21:11- 14 - 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

act ivates , all ow th e to o l to coo l 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 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. 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. 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 de- teriorates signicantly at and below 10°C due to work conditions and other factors. (3) 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 ash. 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 ashing rst. 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 overdischarge prevention sensor may be triggered, and the battery low warning lamp may flash. The lamp will stop flashing once you address the cause of the motor’s locking up and cycle the trigger. EY7441/EY7940/EY74A1 EY7441_EY7940_EY7443_EY74A1_Book.indb 14 2012-12-11 9:21:11- 15 - EY7443 The battery protection feature may

activate when a high load is abruptly placed on the motor, even if ample battery charge remains. In this case, both the battery low warning lamp and LED light will ash (EY7443, EY74A1). If both the battery low warning lamp and

LED light flash, reduce the force with which you are pushing on the driver or, if using a drill driver, adjust the speed switch to a lower setting (EY7443, EY74A1). If the tool does not switch between HIGH

and LOW speed operation in AUTO mode, the motor will stop and the battery low warning lamp and the overheat warning lamp will alternately flash. It is not breakdown. If both lamps alternately flash, depress

the trigger again. (EY7443) [Battery Pack] For Appropriate Use of Battery Pack Li-ion Battery Pack For optimum battery life, store the Li-

ion battery pack following use without charging it. When charging the battery pack, conrm

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. When battery pack is not in use, keep it
