Clutch Torque Setting

Adjust the torque to one of the 18 possible set- tings or “ ” position to the job.

CAUTION: Test the setting before actual opera- tion. Set the scale at this mark ().

Note: When the brake operates, a braking sound may be heard. This sound indicates engagement of the bit lock.

CAUTION: To eliminate excessive temperature increase of the tool surface, do not operate the tool continuously using two or more battery packs.

Tool needs cool off time before switching to another pack.

•Do not close up vent holes on body sides of the body during operation. Otherwise, the machine function is adversely affected to cause a failure.

•Do not strain the tool (motor).

This may cause damage to the unit.

•Use the machine in such a way as to prevent the air from the body vent holes from blowing directly onto your skin. Otherwise, you may get burnt.

•When operating with a Ni-MH bat- tery pack, make sure the place is well-ventilated.

For Appropriate use of Battery pack

Ni-MH Battery pack (EY9200/EY9201/EY9230/EY9231)

•Charge the Ni-MH battery fully before storage in order to ensure a longer service life.

•The ambient temperature range is between 0°C and 40°C.

If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C, the tool may fail to function properly. In that case, charge the bat- tery until charging is completed for appropriate functioning of the battery.

Ni-Cd Battery pack (EY9106/EY9136)

•Nickel cadmium battery pack requires a “BREAK-IN PERIOD” to reach maximum oper- ating capacity. The “BREAK-IN PERIOD” is accomplished during normal usage during the first 6-8 charge and discharge cycles of the battery pack.

After the “BREAK-IN PERIOD” is completed, the battery pack will maintain maximum operat- ing capacity throughout the normal life of the battery pack.

Battery Pack Life

The rechargeable batteries have a limited life. If the operation time becomes extremely short after recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one.

Charging

Note: When you charge the battery pack for the first time, or after prolonged storage, charge it for about 24 hours to bring the battery up to full capacity.

EY0230

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.

Note: 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. Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger.

3.During charging, the charging lamp will be lit. When charging is completed, an internal elec- tronic switch will automatically be triggered to prevent overcharging.

•Charging will not start if the battery pack is warm (for example, immediately after heavy-duty operation).

The orange standby lamp will be lit until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically.

4.When charging is completed, the charging lamp will start flashing rapidly.
