may cause machine damage.

NOTE emphasizes essential information.

SAFETY

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, ﬁ re 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

ﬂ ammable 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.

Unmodiﬁ ed 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

English

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 inﬂ uence 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 ﬁ nger 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 aﬀ ect the

power tool’s 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 diﬀ erent

from those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger speciﬁ ed by

the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery

pack may create a risk of ﬁ re when used with

another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally

designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and ﬁ re.

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

ﬁ re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water.

If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation

or burns.

English

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 ﬁ rst 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.

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 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, ﬁ rst let the battery cool, then start

charging.

●

When the charge indicator lamp ﬂ ickers (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.

(1) Tightening mode selector switch

By using the Tightening mode selector switch on the side

of the tool body, the tightening torque can be adjusted

according to the type of work.

The Tightening mode switches between 4 diﬀ erent modes

each time the Tightening mode selector switch is pressed.

Normal mode allows screws to be tightened smoothly and

gently.

Under normal circumstances, use Normal mode.

Power mode is suitable for heavy-load work that requires

more force, such as tightening long screws.

Use it when you feel that Normal mode lacks suﬃ cient

power.

Self-drilling screw mode is used for tightening self-

drilling Teks screws. This mode reduces the chances of

overtightening that could result in severing of the screw

head, breakage of the screw, or slippage.

NOTE

○

The appropriate mode diﬀ ers depending on the screw

and the material being screwed. Drive in a few test

screws and adjust the mode setting accordingly.

○

The tightening mode selector switch can only be set

after the battery has been installed in the driver and

the trigger switch has been pulled once.

10. 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

ﬁ tting 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.

11. Tightening and loosening bolts

A hex. socket matching the bolt or nut must ﬁ rst be

selected. Then mount the socket on the anvil, and grip

the nut to be tightened with the hex. socket. Holding

the tool in line with the bolt, press the power switch to

impact the nut for several seconds.

If the nut is only loosely ﬁ tted to the bolt, the bolt

may turn with 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.

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 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 diﬀ ers 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"

(M8), there is a danger of the screw breaking, so

please conﬁ rm 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

diﬀ ers 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. Holding the tool

Hold the tool ﬁ rmly with both hands. In this case hold

the tool in line with the screw or bolt.

It is not necessary to push the tool very hard. Hold the

tool with a force just suﬃ cient to counteract the impact

force.

6. Conﬁ rm the tightening torque

The following factors contribute to a reduction of the

tightening torque. So conﬁ rm the actual tightening

torque needed by screwing up some bolts before the

job with a hand torque wrench. Factors aﬀ ecting 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 diﬀ ers with the diameter of the

bolt. Generally a larger diameter bolt requires larger

tightening torque.

(4) Tightening conditions

The tightening torque diﬀ ers according to the torque

ratio; class, and length of bolts even when bolts with

the same size threads are used. The tightening torque

also diﬀ ers 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) Tightening torque varies, depending on the battery’s

charge level.

English

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION:

Pull out battery before doing any inspection or maintenance.

1

. Checking the condition of the bit

The bits should be checked regularly. If worn or

broken bits can slip or decrease the eﬃ ciency of the

motor and burn it out.

Replace worn bits with new ones.

CAUTION

If you use a driver bit of which point is worn or

broken, it will be dangerous since it slips. So

replace it with a new one.

2. Check the Screws

Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them

and make sure they are tight.

CAUTION

Using this power tool with loosened, screws is

extremely dangerous.

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. Check for Dust

Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth

dampened with soapy water.

Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for

they may damage the plastics.

5. Disposal of the exhausted battery

WARNING

Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The

battery must explode if it is incinerated. The

product that you have purchased contains a

rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable.

At the end of it’s useful life, under various state

and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this

battery into the municipal waste stream. Check

with your local solid waste oﬃ cials for details

in your area for recycling options or proper

disposal.

6. Storage

Storing in a place below 104°F (40°C) and out of the

reach of children.

NOTE

Make sure that the battery is fully charged when

stored for a long period (3 months or more). The

battery with smaller capacity may not be able to be

charged when used, if stored for a long period.

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
