A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal

injury.

b) Usepersonalprotectiveequipment.Always

wear eyeprotection.

Protectiveequipmentsuchasdustmask,non-

skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection usedfor appropriate conditions

will reducepersonalinjuries.

c} Preventunintentionalstarting.Ensurethe

uporcarryingthetool.

Carryingpowertoolswith yourfinger on the

switch or energising powertools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

d) Removeanyadjustingkeyorwrenchbefore

Suchpreventivesafetymeasuresreducethe

riskofstarting the powertool accidentally.

d) Storeidle powertoolsout of the reachof

childrenanddonot allowpersonsunfamiliar

with thepowertoolortheseinstructionsto

operatethepowertool.

Powertools aredangerous in the handsof

untrainedusers.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignmentor bindingof moving parts,

breakageof partsand any othercondition

thatmayaffectthepowertool'soperation.

If damaged,have the powertool repaired

beforeuse.

Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained powertools.

f} Keepcuttingtoolssharpandclean.

Properlymaintainedcuttingtoolswith sharp

cutting edgesareless likelyto bind and are

easierto control.

g) Usethe powertool,accessoriesandtoolbits

etc. in accordancewith theseinstructions,

takingintoaccounttheworkingconditions

andtheworkto beperformed.

Useofthepowertool for operationsdifferent

from those intended could result in a

hazardoussituation.

5} Batterytooluseandcare

a) Rechargeonlywiththe chargerspecifiedby

themanufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of

battery pack may create a risk of fire when

usedwith another batterypack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically

designatedbatterypacks.

Useof any otherbatterypacksmaycreatea

riskof injury andfire.

c} Whenbatterypackisnotinuse,keepitaway

from other metal objectslike paperclips,

coins,keys, nails,screws,or other small

metal objects,that canmake aconnection

fromoneterminalto another.

Shortingthe batteryterminals together may

causeburnsor afire.

d) Under abusiveconditions,liquidmay be

ejectedfrom the battery;avoidcontact.If

contactaccidentallyoccurs,flushwithwater.

If liquid contactseyes, additionallyseek

medicalhelp.Liquid ejectedfrom thebattery

may causeirritation or burns.

6} Service

a) Haveyourpowertoolservicedbya qualified

repair person using only identical

replacementparts.

This will ensurethat the safetyof the power

tool ismaintained.

-WARNING-

To reduce the risk of injury, user must read

instructionmanual,

01Eng WH18DSDL US.p65 4 10/2/12, 2:38 PM

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other constructionactivities

containschemicalsknowntothe StateofCalifornia

to causecancer,birth defectsor otherreproductive

harm.Someexamplesofthesechemicalsare:

• Leadfrom lead-basedpaints,

• Crystallinesilicafrom bricksandcementandother

masonryproducts,and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

Your risk from theseexposuresvaries,depending

on how often you do this type of work. Toreduce

your exposureto thesechemicals:work in a well

ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are

speciallydesignedtofilter out microscopicparticles.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

1. Holdpowertoolsby insulatedgrippingsurfaces,

whenperforminganoperationwherethefastener

maycontacthiddenwiring.

Fastenerscontacting a "live" wire may make

exposedmetalpartsof the powertool "live" and

couldgive theoperator anelectric shock.

2. ALWAYSwearearprotectorswhenusingthetool

for extendedperiods.

Q Prolongedexposure to high intensity

noisecan causehearing loss.

3. NEVERplace handsor other body parts nearthe

drillbitorchuckduring operation.Holdthe impact

driver/wrenchby itshandleonly.

4. Because the cordless impact driver/wrench

operatesbybatterypower,beawareofthefactthat

it canbeginto operateatany time.

5. WhenworkingatelevatedIocations,clearthe area

of all other people and be aware of conditions

belowyou.

6. NEVERtouch moving parts.

individuals unfamiliar with its operation or

unauthorizedpersonnel.

11. Keepall screws,bolts andcoverstightly in place.

Keepallscrews,bolts,andplatestightly mounted.

Checktheir condition periodically.

12. Do not use power tools if the plastichousing or

handleis cracked.

Cracksin thetool's housingor handlecan leadto

electricshock.Suchtools shouldnotbe useduntil

repaired.

13. Bladesandaccessoriesmust besecurelymounted

to the tool.

Prevent potential injuries to yourself or others.

Blades,cutting implementsandaccessorieswhich

havebeenmounted to the tool should besecure

andtight.

14. NEVERusea tool which isdefectiveor operating

abnormally.

If the tool appears to be operating unusually,

making strange noises, or otherwise appears

defective,stop using it immediately andarrange

for repairsbyaHitachiauthorized servicecenter.

15. Carefullyhandlepower tools.

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

1. Restingthe unit after continuouswork

After usefor continuous bolt-tightening work, rest

the unit for 15 minutes or so when replacingthe

battery. Thetemperatureofthe motor,switch,etc.,

will riseifthework isstartedagainimmediatelyafter

batteryreplacement,eventuallyresultinginburnout.

Ak CAUTION

Donot touchthe metalparts,asit getsvery hot

duringcontinuouswork.

2. Cautionson useof the speedcontrol switch

This switch has a built-in, electronic circuit which

steplesslyvariesthe rotationspeed.Consequently,

when the switchtrigger is pulledonly slightly (low

speed rotation) and the motor is stopped while

continuously driving in screws,the componentsof

the electronic circuit parts may overheat and be

damaged.

3. Usea tighteningtime suitablefor the screw

Theappropriatetorquefor a screwdiffersaccording

tothe materialandsizeofthescrew,andthematerial

beingscrewedetc.,so pleaseuseatightening time

suitable for the screw. In particular, if a long

tighteningtime isusedinthecaseofscrewssmaller

than 5/16"(8 mm), there is a dangerof the screw

breaking,sopleaseconfirm thetightening time and

the tightening torque beforehand.

4. Work at a tighteningtorque suitable for the bolt

underimpact

The optimum tightening torque for nuts or bolts

differswith materialand sizeof the nutsor bolts.

An excessivelylargetightening torque for a small

bolt may stretchor breakthe bolt. The tightening

torqueincreasesin proportiontotheoperationtime.

Usethe correctoperatingtime for the bolt.

5. Confirmthe tightening torque

Thefollowing factors contribute to a reduction of

the tightening torque. So confirm the actual

tighteningtorqueneededbyscrewingupsomebolts

beforethe job with ahandtorque wrench. Factors

affectingthe tightening torque areas follows.

(1)Voltage

When the discharge margin is reached, voltage

decreasesandtightening torque is lowered.

(2)Operatingtime

Thetighteningtorqueincreaseswhentheoperating

time increases.Butthe tightening torque does not

increaseabove a certain value even if the tool is

drivenfor a longtime.

(3)Diameterof bolt

Thetightening torque differs with the diameter of

the bolt. Generally a largerdiameter bolt requires

largertighteningtorque.

(4)Tightening conditions

Thetighteningtorquediffersaccordingtothe torque

ratio,class,andlengthof boltsevenwhenboltswith

the same size threads are used. The tightening

torquealsodiffersaccordingto the conditionof the

surfaceof workpiecethrough whichthe bolts areto

betightened. Whenthe bolt andnut turn together,

torque isgreatly reduced.

(5)Usingoptional parts(WR18DSDL)

Thetightening torque is reduceda little when an

extensionbar,universaljoint ora longsocketisused.

(6)Clearanceofthe socket(WR18DSDL)

Aworn or deformedhex. orasquare-holedsocket

will not give an adequatetightness to the fitting

betweenthe nut or anvil,consequentlyresulting in

lossof tightening torque.

Usinganimproper socketwhich doesnot matchto

the bolt will result in an insufficient tightening

torque.

(7)Tighteningtorquevaries,dependingon thebattery's

chargelevel.

Maintenanceof the motor

The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the
