CORDLESS DRIVER DRILL / COMBI DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety instructions for all operations

a) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

b) Use the auxiliary handle(s).

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

c) Brace the tool properly before use.

This tool produces a high output torque and without properly bracing the tool during operation, loss of control may occur resulting in personal injury.

d) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.

Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits

a) Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit.

At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.

b) Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece.

At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.

c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure.

Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Make sure that the area to be drilled is absolutely free of any hidden obstructions including electrical wiring, water, or gas pipes. Drilling into the aforementioned may result in electric shock or short circuit, gas leak or other hazards that can cause serious accidents or injuries.

2. Make sure to securely hold the tool during operation. Failure to do so can result in accidents or injuries (Fig. 2).

3. When using the tool, make sure the side handle is attached and firmly secured.

NOTE

The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature and power source voltage.

4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the receptacle.

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

NOTE

Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use, and then keep it.

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.

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.

(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.

(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.

English

CAUTION

☐ If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.

When the charge indicator lamp flickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger's battery connector. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

RFC (Reactive force control)

This product features RFC.

This stops the motor automatically if the tool is jerking excessively.

The LED light flashes to indicate that RFC has been activated.

If this occurs, release your finger from the switch before restarting. (Fig.16)

NOTE

● RFC may not always activate under certain working conditions or situations.
● Take care to hold the tool firmly to prevent any jerking motion.
- RFC may also activate if you change position suddenly while holding the tool.

LED LIGHT WARNING SIGNALS

This product features functions that are designed to protect the tool itself as well as the battery. If any of the safeguard functions are triggered during operation, the LED light will blink as described in Table 5. When any of the safeguard functions are triggered, immediately remove your finger from the switch and follow the instructions described under corrective action.

Table 5

Safeguard Function	LED Light Display	Corrective Action
Overburden Protection	On 0.1 second/off0.1 second(rapid blinking)Blinks for approximately 3 seconds after the switch has been released.	If the operating with the shift knob set on “2”, adjust to “1” and continue operation.Remove the cause of the overburdening.
RFC	On 0.15 second/off0.15 second × 3 times/Off2 secondsBlinks for approximately 3 seconds after the switch has been released.	Remove the problem causing the tool to jerk excessively.When operating the tool, firmly hold the tool to make sure it doesn't jerk.
Temperature Protection	On 0.5 second/Off 0.5 second(slow blinking)Blinks while protection is in effect.	Allow the tool and battery to thoroughly cool.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING

Be sure to turned off the switch and remove the battery before maintenance and inspection.

1. Inspecting the tool

Since use of as dull tool will degrade efficiency and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.

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. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)

Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not collected on the terminals.

On occasion check prior, during and after operation.

CAUTION

Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on the terminals.

Failure to do so may result in malfunction.

5. Cleaning on the outside

When the power tool 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.

6. Storage

Store the power tool and battery in a place in which the temperature is less than 40^ C and out of reach of children.

NOTE

Storing lithium-ion batteries.

Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully charged before storing them.

Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with a low charge may result in performance deterioration, signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable of holding a charge. However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time m be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the batteries two to fi ve times.

If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.

CAUTION

In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the safety regulations and standards prescribed in each country must be observed.
