GENERAL SAFE-

TY 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 acci-

dents.

2) Do not operate power tools in ex-

plosive 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

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 elec-

tric 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.

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 oper-

ating power tools may result in per-
sonal 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.

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 specif-

ically 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, liq-

uid 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.

. SPECIFIC SAFE-

TY RULES

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

Use auxiliary handles supplied
with the tool. Loss of control can

cause personal injury.

2) Hold power tools by insulated grip-

ping sur faces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool
may contact hid den wiring.

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

3)

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

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.

5)

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.

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.

12)

Do not put the tool on the place

where the chuck is depressed. The
bit may come off from the chuck
and fall down when the chuck is de­pressed. It may cause injuries.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sand­ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities con­tains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemi­cals are:

* Lead from lead-based paints.
* Crystalline silica from bricks and

cement and other masonry prod­ucts.

* Arsenic and chromium from

chemically-treated lumber.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safe­ty equipment, such as dust masks
that are specially designed to filter
the microscopic particles.

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.

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

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

• 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.)

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

(No charge)
Battery protection
feature active

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.

• 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 battery pack should be
charged before further use.

• If the tool is subject to a sudden
load during use that causes the mo­tor to lock up, the overdischarge
prevention sensor may be triggered,
and the battery low warning lamp
may flash. The lamp will stop flash­ing once you address the cause of
the motor’s locking up and cycle the
trigger.

• The battery protection feature may
activate when a high load is abrupt­ly placed on the motor, even if am­ple battery charge remains. In this
case, both the battery low warn-ing
lamp and LED light will flash. (HTP­RH)

•

If both the battery low warning lamp
and LED light flash, reduce the
force with which you are pushing
on the driver or, if using a drill driv-

, adjust the speed switch to a low-

er
er setting. (HTP-RH)

Installing the Shoulder Strap

CAUTION:

• Install the shoulder strap firmly to
the main unit of the tool and check
the length of the strap before use.

• Check the condition of the strap
and do not use if it is cut or torn
etc.
There is a risk of injury or damage
if used while improperly installed.

• Please wear the shoulder strap se­curely on the shoulder.
There is a risk of injury or damage
if it is accidentally dropped.

1. Pass the strap through the strap

holders. ( )
