Before operating this unit, please read these instructions completely and save this manual for future use.

Read "the Safety Instructions" booklet and the following before using.

I. 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) When drilling or driving into walls, floors, etc., "live" electrical wires may be encountered. DO NOT TOUCH THE CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock in case you drill or drive into a "live" wire.
4) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately turn the main switch off to prevent an overload, which can damage the battery pack or motor. Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.
5) Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse lever when the main switch is on. The battery will discharge rapidly and damage to the unit may occur.
6) During charging, the charger may become slightly warm. This is normal. Do NOT charge the battery for a long period.
7) Use only a dry, soft cloth to wipe the unit. Do NOT use a damp cloth, thinner, benzine, or other volatile solvents for cleaning.
8) When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center position (switch lock).
9) Do not strain the tool by holding the speed control trigger halfway (speed control mode) so that the motor stops.
10) 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.
11) Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with

apppliance.

12) Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods.

III. OPERATION

SwitchOperation

1. The speed increases with the amount 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.

Forward/Reverses lever Operation

(Forward (U)Switch lock, Reverse ())U

CAUTION:

Do not operate Forward/Reverse lever until the chuck comes to a complete stop. Shifting during rotation of the chuck may damage the tool.

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 efficient 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.
3. After use, set the lever to its center position (switch lock).

Clutch Torque Setting

Adjust the torque to one of the 15 possible settings or "2" position to the job.

CAUTION:

Test the setting before actual operation.

Set the scale at this mark (

Speed Selection

Choose a low or high speed to suit the use.

The more the speed control trigger is pulled, the higher the speed becomes.

CAUTION:

• Check the speed selector switch before use.
• Use at low speed when strong force is needed during operation. (Using at high speed while a strong force is applied may cause a motor 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.
• See appendix for "RECO M-MENDED SPEED SELECTION".

NOTE:

When the brake operates, a braking sound may be heard. This sound indicates engagement of the bit lock.

CAUTION:

• To eliminate excessive temperature increase of the tool surface, do not operate the tool continuously using two or more battery packs. Tool needs cool off time before switching to another pack.
• Do not close up vent holes on body 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 machine in such a way as to prevent the air from the body vent holes from blowing directly onto your skin. Otherwise, you may get burnt.
• When operating with a Ni-MH battery pack, make sure the place is well-ventilated.

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 Nm, 230 kgf-cm, 199 in-lbs).

There will be a little play in the chuck, but this is not a malfunction.

1. This feature is handy for tightening screws that require more torque than the maximum torque of the driver (position on the clutch), for confirming the tightness of a screw or to loosen an extremely tight screw.

For Appropriate Use of Battery pack

Ni-MH Battery pack (EY9251)

Charge the Ni-MH battery fully before storage in order to ensure a longer service life.

The ambient temperature range is between 0^ (32^) and 40^ (104^) . If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0^ (32^) , the tool may fail to function properly. In that case, charge the battery until charging is completed for appropriate functioning of the battery.

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 with a Ni-MH battery pack, make sure the 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.

NOTE:

Use under extremely hot or cold conditions will reduce operating

capacity per charge.

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.

Charging

NOTE:

When you charge the battery pack for the first time, or after prolonged storage, charge it for about 24 hours to bring the battery up to full capacity.

Battery charger (EY0110)

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.

NOTE:

Sparks may be produced when the plug is inserted into the AC power supply, but this is not a problem in terms of safety.

1. Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger.

Battry pack

1. During charging, the charging lamp will be lit.

When charging is completed, an internal electronic switch will automatically be triggered to prevent overcharging.

• Charging will not start if the battery pack is warm (for example, immediately after heavy-duty operation).

The orange standby lamp will be lit until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically.

1. When charging is completed, the charging lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.

2. When in any of the conditions that battery pack is too cool, or the battery pack has not been used for a long time, the charging lamp is lit. In this case, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack, than the standard charging time.

3. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted into the charger again, the charging lamp light up. After several minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate the charging is completed.

4. If the charging lamp does not light immediately after the charger is plugged in, or if after the standard charging time the lamp does not go off, consult an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

• When charging a cool battery pack (below 5^ (41^) ) 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. Otherwise battery pack may not be fully charged.

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:

• 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.
