WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non- skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. (Original instructions) 01Eng_WF14DSL_WE.p65 9/22/11, 1:32 PM7English

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. c) 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 burns or a fire. d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. PRECAUTION Keep children and infirm persons away. When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and infirm persons.

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

2. Always charge the battery at a temperature of

0 – 40°C. A temperature of less than 0°C will result in over charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot be charged at a temperature higher than 40°C. The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20 – 25°C.

3. Do not use the charger continuously.

When one charging is completed, leave the charger for about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.

4. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for

connecting the rechargeable battery.

5. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and

6. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Short-

circuiting the battery will cause a great electric current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.

7. Do not dispose of the battery in fire.

If the battery is burnt, it may explode.

8. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was

purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted battery.

9. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.

10. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of

the charger. Inserting metal objects or inflammables into the charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock hazard or damaged charger.

11. When mounting a bit into the keyless chuck, tighten

the sleeve adequately. If the sleeve is not tight, the bit may slip or fall out, causing injury.

12. This automatic screwdriver is designed for

tightening and loosening screws. Use it only for these operation.

13. One-hand operation is extremely dangerous; hold

the unit firmly with both hands when operating.

1. Connect the charger’s power cord to a receptacle.

When the power cord is connected, the charger’s pilot lamp will blink in red. (At 1-second intervals)

2. Insert the battery into the charger.

Firmly insert the battery into the charger until the line is visible, as shown in Fig. 3.

When inserting a battery in the charger, charging will commence and the pilot lamp will light continuously in red. When the battery becomes fully recharged, the pilot lamp will blink in red. (At 1-second intervals) (See Table 1) (1) Pilot lamp indication The indications of the pilot lamp will be as shown in Table 1, according to the condition of the charger or the rechargeable battery. CHARGER Model UC18YRSL Charging voltage 14.4 V 18 V Weight 0.6 kg (2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable battery The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in Table 2, and batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged. Table 2 Recharging ranges of batteries Table 1 Indications of the pilot lamp Lights for 0.5 seconds. Does not light for 0.5 seconds. (off for 0.5 seconds) Lights continuously Lights for 0.5 seconds. Does not light for 0.5 seconds. (off for 0.5 seconds) Lights for 0.1 seconds. Does not light for 0.1 seconds. (off for 0.1 seconds) Lights continuously Before charging While charging Blinks Lights The pilot lamp lights or blinks in red. Charging complete Charging impossible Blinks Flickers Lights Malfunction in the battery or the charger Battery overheated. Unable to charge.

Overheat standby Temperatures at Rechargeable batteries which the battery can be recharged BSL1430 0°C – 40°C 01Eng_WF14DSL_WE.p65 9/22/11, 1:32 PM10English

(3) Regarding recharging time Depending on the combination of the charger and batteries, the charging time will become as shown in Table 3. Table 3 Charging time (At 20°C) NOTE: The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source voltage.

4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the

5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.

NOTE: After operation, pull out batteries from the charger first, and then keep the batteries properly. Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc. As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times. How to make the batteries perform longer (1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter. (2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while. CAUTION:

When the battery charger has been continuosly used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging. 䡬 If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp map light in green. The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging. 䡬 When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

1. Setting up and checking the work environment

Check if the work environment is suitable by following the precautions.

2. Preparing the screws

Select screws appropriate to the application.

3. Bit checking and replacement

A No. 2 Plus bit is installed on this machine as a standard accessory. Always inspect the bit to make sure it is not damaged. Using worn bits can cause screw-in malfunctions. Inspect the bit before work and quickly replace it with a new one when it starts to wear out. When the bit must be replaced due to bit damage or any other reason, replace it according to the instructions in Bit installation and removal. SWITCH ACTION (FIG. 4) CAUTION Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released. To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. Reversing switch action (Fig. 5) This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the

side for clockwise rotation or from the

side for counterclockwise rotation. When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position, the switch trigger cannot be pulled. Pulling the switch trigger rotates the motor, but the bit does not rotate. The bit rotates and tightens a screw when the tip of the bit is pressed against the groove on the screw head. CAUTION 䡬 Always check the direction of rotation before operation. 䡬 Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool. 䡬 When not operating the tool, always set the reversing switch lever to the neutral position.

Set the screw length on this unit by sliding the guide block. (1) Slide the guide block while holding down the lever and align the arrow on the guide block with the number on the stopper to match the screw length. (2) Find the screw length and screw guide position by checking the table below.

2. Adjust the screw-in depth (Fig. 7)

Adjust the screw-in depth on this unit by turning the depth adjuster knob. (1) Press the slider all the way in to the slider case. Then rotate the depth adjuster knob so that the bit tip protrudes about 5 mm. (2) Try driving a screw and make fine adjustments as needed. To make the fine adjustment, rotate towards A (counterclockwise) if the screw head is too high after screw-in. If the screw head is too low after screw-in, then rotate towards B (clockwise).

INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE SCREW

(1) Insert the tip of the linked screw strip into the belt guide groove (A section). (2) Insert the tip of the tape into the slider groove (B section) and press inwards in the arrow direction. (3) Set so the screw on the strip is just prior (1 screw width) to the screw-in position (Fig. 9, Fig. 10). CAUTION Set the screw strip securely inside. If not set securely, the bit might scratch the board surface (low feed pressure) or the screw might be wasted (too much feed pressure).

2. Removal (Fig. 11)

(1) If you run out of screws on the tape or want to remove a screw strip during a job, pull in the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure to remove. (2) You can return the screw strip in the opposite direction by pressing the reverse button.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BIT

CAUTION To prevent the chance of an accident, always turn off the power switch and remove the battery from the body. NOTE When replacing the bit be sure to install it securely so it will not come loose or fall out later.

1. Removing the screw strip attachment

Grip the unit securely with one hand. With your other hand, rotate the screw strip attachment in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 12. Next pull in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 13 and remove. NOTE This will be hard to remove if the lath or plaster powder attaches near the attachment slot. Clean this section carefully to prevent the lath or plaster powder from adhering here.

2. Attaching and removing the bit (Fig. 14)

No bits other than plus driver (Phillips) bits (No. 2, 136 mm long) can be used for screw strip tightening jobs. Attach the bits securely using the following procedure. Move the guide sleeve to the top edge, feed the bit into hexagonal hole on the anvil and then release the guide sleeve. To remove, perform the above procedure in reverse order. NOTE The bit was not installed correctly (securely) if the guide sleeve will not return to its original position. Keep inserting the bit inside the hexagonal socket head hole until it makes contact.

CAUTION Always use safety goggles during the work. Adjust the rotation direction to the clockwise

Press the unit straight up against the work and pull the switch trigger to automatically feed and tighten the screws (Fig. 15). NOTE 䡬 Place this unit straight up against the work during screw-tightening. Using the unit while at an angle to the work might damage the screw head or cause bit wear. Also the proper tightening torque will not be transmitted to the screw and might cause the screw to seat improperly. 䡬 Press firmly on the unit until the screw tightening is complete. Loosening the pushing pressure on the unit might cause the screw to seat improperly. 䡬 When driving the screw, avoid hitting the unit as pushing in. This could prevent the screw from being sent normally. 䡬 Attempting to tighten one screw on top of another will cause the screw to fall or stop the screw feed so use caution. 䡬 Driving blanks During continuous screw tightening, you might not notice you have run out of screws and continue to operate the unit. Driving without any screws will cause the bit to damage the lath or plaster board, so do the screw tightening while checking the number of screws remaining. 䡬 If the slider does not move smoothly, try cleaning the sliding surfaces with an air gun, etc.

2. Using in corners (Fig. 16)

Unit can drive screws at positions as close as 15 mm from the wall. NOTE Do not attempt to drive screws when closer to the wall than 15 mm. Do not drive screws while the slider case is in contact with the wall. Damaging the screw head causes bit wear. The proper tightening torque is not transmitted to the screw if the screw head or bit is worn. This might also cause the screw not to seat properly and might cause this unit to break.

3. Removing the screws

The tightened screws can be removed by rotating them for the reverse rotation

(counterclockwise). Properly install the bit against the groove on the screw head, and pull the switch trigger while depressing the bit against the groove vertically. Or, depress the bit against the groove on the screw head vertically while pulling the switch trigger. 01Eng_WF14DSL_WE.p65 9/22/11, 1:32 PM12English

If the slider will not move smoothly, try cleaning the sliding surfaces of the slider and slider case with an air gun, etc. (Fig. 17). NOTE The unit tends to easily become covered with lath or plaster board dust during jobs where it faces upwards. Clean the sliding surfaces at regular periods during the work task.

5. Attaching the sheet

If the sheet has been damaged and cannot be used, please replace the sheet with attached one. Attach the sheet by inserting the holes on the sheet on the two protrusions on the stopper (Fig. 18).

The hook is used to hang up the power tool to your waist belt while working. CAUTION: 䡬 When using the hook, hang up the power tool firmly not to drop accidentally. If the power tool is dropped, it may lead to an accident. 䡬 When carrying the power tool with hooked to your waist belt, do not fit any bit to the tip of power tool. If the sharp bit such as drill is fitted to the power tool when carrying it with hooked to your waist belt, you will be injured. 䡬 Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely installed, it may cause an injury while using. (1) Removing the hook. Remove the screws fixing the hook with Philips screw driver.

(Fig.21) When releasing your finger from the remaining battery indicator switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp goes off. The table 4 shows the state of remaining battery indicator lamp and the battery remaining power. As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat differently depending on ambient temperature and battery characteristics, read it as a reference. State of lamp Battery Remaining Power The battery remaining power is enough. The battery remaining power is a half. The battery remaining power is nearly empty. Re-charge the battery soonest possible. Table 4 NOTE: 䡬 Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break it.It may lead to a trouble. 䡬 To save the battery power consumption, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights while pressing the remaining battery indicator switch.

8. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly

SCREW HANDLING NOTE: Handle both the packed box of screws and the collated screw strips with care. If you drop them, screws can come out of the collated tape and cause screw feed malfunctions. Do not expose the screws to prolonged periods of direct sunlight or outside air. They can cause rust and collated tape problems, so when you will not be using the screws for awhile, put them in the screw packing box or the like.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the driver bit

Using a broken bit or one with a worn out tip is dangerous because the bit can slip. Replace it by a new one.

2. Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.

3. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 22) The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. Since and excessively worn carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon brush with new ones when it becomes worn to or near the “wear limit”. In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely whthin the brush holders. When replacing the carbon brush with a new one, be sure to use the HiKOKI Carbon Brush Code No. 999054. Replacing carbon brushes Take out the carbon brush by first removing the brush cap and then hooking the protrusion of the carbon brush with a flat head screw driver, etc., as shown in Fig. 24. When installing the carbon brush, choose the direction so that the nail of the carbon brush agrees with the contact portion outside the brush tube. Then push it in with a finger as illustrated in Fig. 25. Lastly, install the brush cap. CAUTION: Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon brush into the contact portion outside the brush tube. (You can insert whichever one of the two nails provided). Caution must be exercised since any error in this operation can result in the deformed nail of the carbon brush and may cause motor trouble at an early stage. 01Eng_WF14DSL_WE.p65 9/22/11, 1:32 PM13English

6. Cleaning on the outside

When the driver drill is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.

Store the driver drill in a place in which the tempera ture is less than 40°C and out of reach of children. NOTE: Make sure that the battery is fully charged when stored for a long period (3 months or more). The battery with smaller capacity may not be able to be charged when used, if stored for a long period.
