1.Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on the battery.

￿During work make sure that swarf and dust do not fall on the battery.

￿Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the power tool during work do not collect on the battery.

￿Do not store an unused battery in a location exposed to swarf and dust.

￿Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and dust that may adhere to it and do not store it

together with metal parts (screws, nails, etc.).

2.Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw or subject the battery to severe physical shock.

3.Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery.

4.Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.

5.Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets or car cigarette lighter sockets.

6.Do not use the battery for a purpose other than those specified.

7.If the battery charging fails to complete even when a specified recharging time has elapsed, immediately stop further recharging.

8.Do not put or subject the battery to high temperatures or high pressure such as into a microwave oven, dryer, or high pressure container.

9.Keep away from fire immediately when leakage or foul odor are detected.

10.Do not use in a location where strong static electricity generates.

11.If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat generated, discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the equipment or battery charger, and stop use.

CAUTION

1.If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes and wash them well with fresh clean water such as tap water and contact a doctor immediately.

If left untreated, the liquid may cause eye-problems.

2.If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with clean water such as tap water immediately. There is a possibility that this can cause skin irritation.

3.If you find rust, foul odor, overheating, discolor, deformation, and/or other irregularities when using the battery for the first time, do not use and return it to your supplier or vendor.

WARNING

If an electrically conductive foreign object enters the terminals of the lithium ion battery, a short-circuit may occur resulting in the risk of fire. Please observe the following matters when storing the battery.

￿Do not place electrically conductive cuttings, nails, steel wire, copper wire or other wire in the storage case.

￿Either install the battery in the power tool or store by securely pressing into the battery cover until the ventilation holes are concealed to prevent short-circuits (See Fig. 9).

￿Soft-start

￿Overload protection

This protection feature cuts off the power to the motor in the event of overloading of motor or a conspicuous reduction in rotational speed during operation.

When the overload protection feature has been activated, the motor may stop.

In this case, release the tool switch and eliminate causes of overloading.

After that you can use it again.

￿Overheat protection

This protection feature cuts off the power to the motor and stops the power tool in the event of overheating of motor during operation.

When the overheat protection feature has been activated, the motor may stop.

In this case, release the tool switch and cool it down in a few minutes.

After that you can use it again.

￿Rotation speed changeover function (Power mode / Silent mode)

(Power mode / Silent mode switch function) Each press of the Mode Selector Switch changes the operating mode.

Silent mode reduces maximum motor RPM enabling efficient work with less noise.

The Silent Mode Indicator Lamp lights in Silent mode. When the load increases during Silent mode, the tool will automatically switch to Power mode and revert

back to Silent mode when the load decreases.

In Power mode, no change is made to Silent mode even when the load decreases.

NOTE

￿To enable mode changes, pull the switch once after installing the battery.

￿Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break it. It may lead to a trouble.
