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. 01Eng_WH18DFL_WE 3/19/09, 20:226English

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.

(4) Replacing the batteries (a) Loosen the hook screw with a phillips-head screwdriver (No. 1). (Fig. 10) Remove the hook cover by pushing in the direction of the arrow. (Fig. 11) (b) Remove the old batteries and insert the new batteries. Align with the hook indications and position the plus (+) and minus (–) terminals correctly. (Fig. 12) (c) Align the indentation in the hook main body with the protuberance of the hook cover, press the hook cover in the direction opposite to that of the arrow shown in Fig. 11 and then tighten the screw. Use commercially available N batteries (1.5 V). NOTE: Do not tighten the screw excessively. Such action could strip the screw threads. CAUTION: 䡬 Failure to observe the following can result in battery leakage, rust or malfunction. Position the plus (+) and minus (–) terminals correctly. Replace both batteries at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries. Remove exhausted batteries from the hook immediately. 䡬 Do not discard batteries together with normal trash and do not throw batteries into fire. 䡬 Store batteries out of the reach of children. 䡬 Use batteries correctly in accordance with the battery specifications and indications.

2. Installing the bit

Always follow the following procedure to install driver bit. (Fig. 4) (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.

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

4. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly

5. 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. 13) (The

marks are provided on the body).

䡬 When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates. When the trigger is released, the tool stops. 䡬 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. NOTE 䡬 A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about to rotate. This is only a noise, not a machine failure.

7. 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 impact driver just enough to keep the bit fitting the head of the screw. CAUTION Applying the impact driver for too long tightens the screw too much and can break it. Tightening a screw with the 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 impact driver lined up straight with the screw. 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 metal parts, as it gets 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. 01Eng_WH18DFL_WE 3/19/09, 20:2210English

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 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 temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
