I. GENERAL

SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or seri- ous injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool and battery operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Work Area Safety

1) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-

dents.

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 or fumes.

3) Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical Safety

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 out-

lets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2) 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.

3) Do not expose power tools to

rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will in-

crease the risk of electric shock.

4) 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 in-

crease the risk of electric shock.

5) 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.

6) If operating a power tool in a

damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of RCD reduces the risk of elec-

trical shock.

Personal Safety

1) 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 personal injury.

2) Use safety equipment. Always

wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off position before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your fin-

ger on the switch or plugging in the power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

4 -

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.

5) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

6) 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.

7) If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of these devices can reduce

dust related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

1) 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.

2) Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be con-

trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

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.

4) 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.

5) 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.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

6) Properly maintained cutting tools with

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

7) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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.

Battery Tool Use and Care

Ensure the switch is in the off posi-

tion before inserting battery pack.

Inserting battery pack into power

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

2) 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.

Use power tools only with specifi-

cally designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and fire.

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 togeth-

er may cause burns, or a fire.

5) Under abusive conditions, liquid

may be ejected from 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.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of

power tool is maintained.

II. SPECIFIC

Symbol Meaning

SAFETY RULES

1) Wear ear protection. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

2) Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.

3) Hold power tools by insulated

gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hid den wiring.

Contact with a “live” wire will make

exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

4) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately turn the trigger switch off to prevent an overload which can damage the battery pack or motor. Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.

Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse

5) lever when the trigger switch is on. The battery will discharge rapidly and damage to the unit may occur.

6) When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center position (switch lock).

7) Do not strain the tool by holding the speed control trigger halfway (speed control mode) so that the motor stops. The protection circuit will activate and may prevent speed control operation. If this happens, release the speed control trigger and squeeze again for normal operation.

8) Be careful not to get dust inside the chuck.

9) Do not touch the rotating parts to avoid injury.

10) Do not use the tool continuously for a long period of time. Stop using the tool from time to time to avoid temperature rise and heat overload of the motor.

11) Do not drop the tool.

CAUTION:

• The built-in LED light is designed to illuminate the small work area temporarily.

•

Do not use it as a substitute for a regular

flashlight, since it does not have

enough brightness

• LED light turn off when the tool has not been used for 5 minutes.

Caution : DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those speciﬁ ed herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

(2) Overheat warning lamp

Off (normal operation)

Illuminated: Overheat (motor)

Indicates operation has been halted due to motor or battery overheating.

Flashing: Overheat (battery)

To protect the motor or battery, be sure to note the following when carrying out this operation.

• If the motor or battery becomes hot, the protection function will be activated and the motor or battery will stop operating. The overheat warning lamp on the control panel illuminates or flashes when this feature is active.

• If the overheating protection feature activates, allow the tool to cool thoroughly (at least 30 minutes). The tool is ready for use when the overheat warning lamp goes out.

• Avoid using the tool in a way that causes the overheating protection feature to activate repeatedly.

• If the tool is operated continuously under high-load conditions or if it is used in hot-temperature conditions (such as during summer), the overheating protection feature may activate frequently.

13 -

• If the tool is used in cold-temperature conditions (such as during winter) or if it is frequently stopped during use, the overheating protection feature may not activate.

• The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly.

• When charging a cool battery pack (below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature.

• The performance of the EY9L42 deteriorates significantly at and below 10°C due to work conditions and other factors.

(3) Battery low warning lamp

Off (normal operation)

Excessive (complete) discharging of lithium ion batteries shortens their service life dramatically. The driver includes a battery protection feature designed to prevent excessive dis charging of the battery pack.

• The battery protection feature activates immediately before the battery loses its charge, causing the battery low warning lamp to flash.

• If you notice the battery low warning lamp flashing, charge the battery pack immediately.

• If it is started with too little battery power remaining, the tool may stop operating without the battery low warning lamp flashing first. This indicates that there is too little battery power remaining to use the tool, and the bat-

• Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage or frequency rating!

• If the temperature of the battery pack falls approximately below −10°C (14°F), charging will automatically stop to prevent degradation of the battery.

•

The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly.

• Use the charger at temperatures between 0°C and 40°C, and charge the battery at a temperature similar to that of the battery itself. (There should be no more than a 15°C difference between the temperatures of the battery and the charging location.)

•

Cool down the charger when charging more than two battery packs consecutively.

• Do not insert your fingers into contact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions.

CAUTION:

To prevent the risk of fire or damage to the battery charger.

• Do not cover vent holes on the charger and the battery pack.

• Unplug the charger when not in use.
