This tool, as a complete unit with a battery pack, satisfies appropriate IP Degrees of Protection based on the IEC regulations.

Definition of IP code

IP5X: Ingress of dust is not totally prevented, but dust shall not penetrate in a quantity to interfere with satisfactory operation of the tool or to impair safety (In case that the talcum powder under 75 μm intrudes inside the tool).

IPX6: Water projected in powerful jets against the tool from any direction shall have no harmful effects (In case that, with a nozzle of 12.5 mm inner diameter, approximately 100 L/min of normal temperature water is injected to the tool for 3 minutes from 3 meter distance).

LIMITED WARRANTY

The rating of IP56 qualifies this tool for the minimum impact of water or dust, but not for the assurance of performance in such conditions. See Safety and Operating

Instructions for further details for proper operation.

I.GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your main 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 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 or fumes.

3)Keep children and bystanders away EN while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1)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 outlets 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 increase 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 increase 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 electrical shock.

- 5 -

EN 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 finger 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry 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 controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3)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.

6)Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

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.

- 6 -

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

Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

Battery Tool Use and Care

1)Ensure the switch is in the off position 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.

3)Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

4)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 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

1)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 SAFETY EN

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)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.

4)Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse lever when the trigger switch is on. The battery will discharge rapidly and damage to the unit may occur.

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

6)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.

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

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

9)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.

10)Do not drop the tool.

ture.

 

Excessive (complete) discharging of

 

lithium ion batteries shortens their service

 

life dramatically. The driver includes a

 

battery protection feature designed to

 

prevent excessive discharging of the

 

battery pack.

For Appropriate Use of

 

Battery Pack [Fig.6]

 

••The rechargeable batteries have a

 

limited life.

 

••For optimum battery life, store the Li-ion

 

battery pack following use without

 

charging it.

 

••When operating the battery pack, make

 

sure the work place is well ventilated.

 

For safe use

 

••The battery pack is designed to be

 

installed by proceeding two steps for

 

safety. Make sure the battery pack is

 

installed properly to the main unit before

 

use.

 

••If the battery pack is not connected firmly

 

when the switch is switched on, the

 

overheat warning lamp and the battery

 

low warning lamp will flash to indicate

 

that safe operation is not possible, and

 

the main unit will not rotate normally.

 

Connect the battery pack into the unit of

 

the tool until the red or yellow label

[Battery Charger]

Charging

CAUTION:

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

2)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.

3)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.)

4)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.

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

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

7)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.

NOTE:

Your battery pack is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Be sure to charge the battery before use.

How to charge

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.

- 14 -

NOTE:

 

 

 

EN

Sparks may be produced when the plug

 

 

 

is inserted into the AC power supply,

 

 

but this is not a problem in terms of

 

 

safety.

 

 

2. Connect the battery pack firmly into the

 

 

charger.

 

 

1 Line up the alignment marks and

 

 

place the battery onto the dock on

 

 

the charger.

 

 

NOTE:

 

 

Not all battery packs display the

 

 

alignment mark (Q) (on page 2).

 

 

2 Slide forward in the direction of the

 

 

arrow. [Fig.7 ]

 

 

3. During charging, the charging lamp will

 

 

be lit. When charging is completed, an

 

 

internal electronic switch will automati-

 

 

cally be triggered to prevent overcharg-

 

 

ing.

 

 

••Charging will not start if the battery

 

 

pack is hot (for example, immediately

 

 

after heavy-duty operation).

 

 

The orange standby lamp will be

 

 

flashing until the battery cools down.

 

 

Charging will then begin automatically.

 

 

4. The charge lamp (green) will flash

 

 

slowly once the battery is approximate-

 

 

ly 80% charged.

 

 

5. When charging is completed, the

 

 

charging lamp in green color will turn

 

 

off.

 

 

6. If the temperature of the battery pack is

 

 

0°C or less, charging takes longer to

 

 

fully charge the battery pack than the

 

 

standard charging time.

 

 

Even when the battery is fully charged,

 

 

it will have approximately 50% of the

 

 

power of a fully charged battery at

 

 

normal operating temperature.

 

 

7. Consult an authorized dealer if the

 

 

charging lamp (green) does not turn off.

 

 

8. If a fully charged battery pack is insert-

 

 

ed into the charger again, the charging

 

 

lamp lights up. After several minutes,

 

 

the charging lamp in green color will

 

 

turn off.

 

 

9. Remove the battery pack while the

 

 

battery pack release button is held up.
