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 mains operated (corded) power to o l a n d 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.

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.

Keep children and bystanders away

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Personal Safety

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

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.

If dev ices a re provided for th e 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

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.

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.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from

4 -

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

Such prevent ive safety mea sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Recharge only with the cha rger 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 specifically 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 together may cause burns, or a fire.

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.

. INTENDED USE

This tool is a Cordless Oilpulse Driver and can be used to tighten bolts, nuts, and screws.

III

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

) Wear ear protectors when using the

tool for extended periods.

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) When screwing or driving into walls, floors,

etc., “live” electrical wires may be encountered. DO NOT TOUCH THE HEX QUICK CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock in case you screw or drive into a “live” wire.

4) Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse

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

5) During charging, the charger may become

the

Cautions for Cordless Oilpulse Driver

This tool is a hydraulic industrial tool which generates tor que by using oil viscosity. Since oil viscosity changes according to the temperature, be aware of the points below while operating.

• The automatic power-off function will activate and stop tool operation if the oil becomes too hot, regardless of the remaining battery life.

• Torqu e may decrease significantly when the automatic power-off function is activated due to high oil temperature. Check the torque.

• When the automatic power-off function is activated, performance will return to normal after the tool has sufficiently cooled (approximately 30 minutes or more).

•

Avoid work which causes the automatic power-off function to activate repeatedly.

•

When the temperature of the tool is low, the tightening strength may not be sufficient at the beginning of use.

Control Panel

(3) (2) (1)

(1) LED light

Before the use of LED light, always pull the power switch once. Press the LED light on button. The light illuminates with very low current, and it does not adversely affect the performance of the tool during use or its battery capacity.

CAUTION:

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

• Do not use it as a substitute for a regu lar flashlight, since it does not have enough brightness.

• LED light turns 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 specied herein

may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

to be charged soon.

No charge The battery pack needs to be charged. (The tool’s automatic power-off function will activate at this stage.)

Automatic power-off function

• The automatic power-off function is designed to prevent a loss of tightening torque due to reduced battery voltage. Once it has been activated, the tool will not operate until the battery pack has been charged (or replaced with a fresh unit), even if the trigger is depressed.

NOTE:

• All 3 bars on the battery indication lamp will flash when the automatic power-off function is activated.

• When the battery indication lamp begins flashing, the battery pack should be charged (or replaced with a fresh unit) immediately.

• Be sure to fully charge the battery pack after activation of the automatic poweroff function. Failure to do so may prevent the automatic power-off function from being properly deactivated.

(3) Overheat warning lamp

Flashing

The overheating protection feature halts tool operation to protect the battery pack in the event of overheating. The overheat warning

lamp on the control panel ashes 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.

Adjusting the maximum tightening torque

If the tightening torque is too high, it can be lowered by limiting the maximum generated oil pressure with the relief valve.

1. Place the forward/reverse switch in the

locked position and remove the battery pack. Using a narrow-bladed flathead screwdriver or similar tool, remove the rubber stopper.
