GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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.

1) Work area safety

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.

3) Personal safety

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.

5) Battery tool use and care

1. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the receptacle.
2. 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.

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 continuously 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.

○If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp may light in green.

The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.

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.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Setting up and checking the work environment

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

HOW TO USE

1. Installing the bit

Always follow the following procedure to install driver bit. (Fig. 5)

(1) Pull the guide sleeve forward.
(2) Insert the bit into the hexagonal hole in the socket.
(3) Release the guide sleeve and it returns to its original position.

CAUTION

If the guide sleeve does not return to its original position, then the bit is not installed properly.

2. Removing the bit

Please do the opposite point on the method of installing bit.

3. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly

4. Check the rotational direction

The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) by pushing the R-side of the selector button.

The L-side of the selector button is pushed to turn the bit counterclockwise (See Fig. 6) (The (L) and (R) marks are provided on the body).

5. Switch operation

CAUTION

Before using, confirm that the switch lever returns to its original position when pulled and then released. Failure of the switch lever to operate properly can result in injury.
○Do not hang the angle impact driver from a belt and the like by the switch lever. The angle impact driver may drop causing an accident. In addition, this can also damage the switch lever.
When carrying the angle impact driver, confirm that the lock button is in the OFF position. Carrying the angle impact driver with the lock switch in the ON position can cause the switch to inadvertently be turned on resulting in injury.
○Do not carry the angle impact driver by the switch lever when carrying. This can cause a malfunction.
○Be careful not to pinch your finger between the switch lever and the angle impact driver. This can cause an injury.

☐The switch is turned on when the switch lever is pulled after having slid the lock button to the ON position, and is turned off when the switch lever is released. (See Fig. 7)
○The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by varying the amount that the trigger switch is pulled. Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.
○Always make sure to return the lock button to the OFF position after using. (See Fig. 7)

NOTE

○A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about to rotate. This is only a noise, not a machine failure.

☐Do not use the angle impact driver with the lock button in an intermediate position. If used with the lock button in an intermediate position, the switch may suddenly be turned off while working or suddenly come on when carrying. When changing the position of the lock button, slide the lock button until it reliably reaches and contacts the ON position or OFF position.
○Do not change the position of the lock button while the switch lever is being pulled. Only change the position of the lock button after having first released the switch lever.
○Do not place the angle impact driver in a manner such that the switch lever is facing downward. This can cause the switch to be turned on as a result of pressing the switch lever.
○Do not move the switch lever in the direction opposite that of the angle impact driver. This can cause a malfunction.

6. Tightening and loosening screws

Install the bit that matches the screw, line up the bit in the grooves of the head of the screw, then tighten it. Push the angle impact driver just enough to keep the bit fitting the head of the screw.

CAUTION

Applying the angle impact driver for too long tightens the screw too much and can break it.

Tightening a screw with the angle impact driver at an angle to that screw can damage the head of the screw and the proper force will not be transmitted to the screw.

Tighten with this angle impact driver lined up straight with the screw.

7. About Remaining Battery Indicator

When pressing the remaining battery indicator switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights and the battery remaining power can be checked. (Fig. 8) 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.

Table 4

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.

As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat differently depending on ambient temperature and battery characteristics, read it as a reference.

NOTE

○Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break it. It may lead to a trouble.

To save the battery power consumption, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights while pressing the remaining battery indicator switch.

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

1. Resting the unit after continuous work

After use for continuous bolt-tightening work, rest the unit for 15 minutes or so when replacing the battery. The temperature of the motor, switch, etc., will rise if the work is started again immediately after battery replacement, eventually resulting in burnout.

NOTE

Do not touch the hammer case, as they get very hot during continuous work.

2. Cautions on use of the speed control switch

This switch has a built-in, electronic circuit which steplessly varies the rotation speed. Consequently, when the switch trigger is pulled only slightly (low speed rotation) and the motor is stopped while continuously driving in screws, the components of the electronic circuit parts may overheat and be damaged.

3. Use a tightening time suitable for the screw

The appropriate torque for a screw differs according to the material and size of the screw, and the material being screwed etc., so please use a tightening time suitable for the screw. In particular, if a long tightening time is used in the case of screws smaller than M8, there is a danger of the screw breaking, so please confirm the tightening time and the tightening torque beforehand.

4. Work at a tightening torque suitable for the bolt under impact

The optimum tightening torque for nuts or bolts differs with material and size of the nuts or bolts. An excessively large tightening torque for a small bolt may stretch or break the bolt. The tightening torque increases in proportion to the operation time. Use the correct operating time for the bolt.

5. Confirm the tightening torque

The following factors contribute to a reduction of the tightening torque. So confirm the actual tightening torque needed by screwing up some bolts before the job with a hand torque wrench. Factors affecting the tightening torque are as follows.

(1) Voltage

When the discharge margin is reached, voltage decreases and tightening torque is lowered.

(2) Operating time

The tightening torque increases when the operating time increases. But the tightening torque does not increase above a certain value even if the tool is driven for a long time.

(3) Diameter of bolt

The tightening torque differs with the diameter of the bolt. Generally a larger diameter bolt requires larger tightening torque.

(4) Tightening conditions

The tightening torque differs according to the torque ratio; class, and length of bolts even when bolts with the same size threads are used. The tightening torque also differs according to the condition of the surface of workpiece through which the bolts are to be tightened. When the bolt and nut turn together, torque is greatly reduced.

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.

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.

4. Cleaning of the outside

When the angle impact driver 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.

5. Storage

Store the angle impact driver in a place in which the temperature is less than 40^ C and out of reach of children.
