SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY RULES – FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Work Area

(1) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

(2) 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 of fumes.

(3) Keep bystanders children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical Safety

(1) A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be

recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.

A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when

used with another battery.

(2) Use battery operated tool only with specifically designed battery pack.

Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

3. Personal Safety

(1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

(3) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off position before inserting battery.

Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool

with the switch on invites accidents.

(4) Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that

is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

(6) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

English

5

4. Tool Use and Care

(1) Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable

platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to

loss of control.

(2) Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

(3) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

(4) Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

(5) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

(6) 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.

(7) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

(8) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other

condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced

before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

(9) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on

another tool.

5. Service

(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

(2) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

Maintenance Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construc-

tion activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,

birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

● Lead from lead-based paints,

● Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,

and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to filter out microscopic particles.

English

(3) Regarding recharging time (At 68°F (20°C))

In approx. 60 minutes.

NOTE: The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source voltage.

4. Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.

CAUTION:

Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord.

Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.

5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.

Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger.

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.

● If the battery is rechraged 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 flikers rapidly 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.

● Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3 seconds to confirm that the battery

being charged with UC14YF2 is taken out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds before

reinserting it to continue charging. If the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds, the

battery may not be properly charged.

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.

2. Selecting the socket matched to the bolt

Be sure to use a socket which is matched to the bolt

to be tightened. Using an improper socket will not

only result in insufficient tightening but also in

damage to the socket or nut.

A worn or deformed hex or square-holed socket

will not give an adequate tightness for fitting to the

nut or anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tight-

ening torque.

Pay attention to wear of socket hole, and replace

before further wear has developed.

Matching socket and bolt sizes are shown Tables 4,

5, 6 and 7. The numerical value of a socket

designation denotes the side-to-side distance (H)

of its hex. hole.

3. Installing a socket (Fig. 9, 10)

Align the plunger located in the square part of the

anvil with the hole in the hex. socket. Then push the

plunger, and mount the hex. socket on the anvil.

Check that the plunger is fully engaged in the hole.

When removing the socket, reverse the sequence.

4. Removing the socket

Please do the opposite point on the method of

installing socket.

5. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.

6. Check the rotational direction

The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear

side) by pushing the R-side of the push button.

The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the

bit counterclockwise. (See Fig. 11). (The

L

and

R

marks are engraved on the body.)

CAUTION

The push button can not be switched while the impact driver is turning. To switch the

push button, stop the impact driver, then set the push button.

7. Switch operation

䡬 When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates. When the trigger is released, the

tool stops.

䡬 The rotational speed 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

A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about to rotate; this is only a noise, not

a machine failure.

8. Tightening and loosening bolts

A hex socket matching the bolt or nut must first be selected. Then mount the socket on

the anvil, and grip the nut to be tightened with the hex socket. Holding the wrench in line

with the bolt, press the power switch to impact the nut for several seconds.

If the nut is only loosely fitted to the bolt, the bolt may turn wit the nut, therefore mistaking

proper tightening. In this case, stop impact on the nut and hold the bolt head with a

wrench before restarting impact, or manually tighten the bolt and nut to prevent them

slipping.

9. Number of bolt tightened possible

Please refer to the table below for the number of bolt tightened possible with one charge.

<For WR12DM> (EB1220BL)

<For WR9DM> (EB9B)

These values may vary slightly, according to surrounding temperature and battery

characteristics.

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.

CAUTION: Do not touch the hammer case, 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. Tightening torque

Refer to Fig. 12 and 13 for the tightening torque of bolts (according to size), under the

conditions shown in Fig. 14. Please use this example as a general reference, as tightening

torque will vary according to tightening conditions.

Tightening torque varies, depending on the battery’s charge level. Fig. 15 and 16 shows

an example of the relationship between tightening torque and the number of tightenings

(WR12DM and WR9DM). As shown, tightening torque gradually weakens with the

increase in the number of tightenings. In particular, as the torque decreases very close

to the complete discharge (“a” margin in graph), the unit’s impact weakens, the number

of time impacts declines and tightening torque drops off abruptly. If this occurs, check

torque level, then recharge the battery if necessary.

NOTE

䡬 If a long striking time is used, screws will be strongly tightened. This may cause the screw

to break, or may damage the end of the bit.

䡬 If the unit is held at an angle to the screw being tightened, the head of the screw may be

damaged, or the specified torque may not be transmitted to the screw. Always keep the

unit and the screw being tightened in a straight line.

4. 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

5/16" (8 mm), there is a danger of the screw breaking, so please confirm the tightening

time and the tightening torque beforehand.

5. 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 proportionate to the operaton time. Use the

correct operating time for the bolt.

6. Holding the tool

Hold the impact wrench firmly with both hands. In this case hold the wrench in line with the bolt.

It is not necessary to push the wrench very hard. Hold the wrench with a force just

sufficient to counteract the impact force.

7. 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.

(See Fig. 12 and 13)

(3) Diameter of bolt

The tightening torque differs with the diameter of the bolt as shown in Fig. 12 and 13.

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.

(5) Using optional parts

The tightening torque is reduced a little when an extension bar, universal joint or a long

socketis used.

(6) Clearance of the socket

A worn or deformed hex or a square-holed socket will not give an adequate tightness to

the fitting between the nut or anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tightening torque.

Using an improper socket which does not match to the bolt will result in an insufficient

tightening torque. Matching socket and bolt sizes are shown in Table 4, 5, 6 and 7.
