4.Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle5.Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery

NOTE

After operation, pull out batteries from the charger first, and then keep the batteries properly.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer.

(1)Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.

(2)Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery

and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

CAUTION

￿When the battery charger has been continuosly used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

￿If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp map light in green.

The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.

￿When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1.Setting up and checking the work environment Check if the work environment is suitable by following the precautions.

HOW TO USE1.Confirm the cap position (see Fig. 4)

The three modes of screwdriver, drill and impact drill

can be switched by the position of the cap in this unit.

(1)When using this unit as a screwdriver, line up the one of the numbers “1, 4, 7 ... 22” on the cap, or the black dots, with the triangle mark on the outer body.

(2)When using this unit as a drill, align the cap drill mark “” with the triangle mark on the outer body.

(3)When using this unit as an impact drill, align the cap

hammer mark “ ” with the triangle mark on the outer body.

CAUTION

￿The cap cannot be set between the numerals “1, 4, 7

... 22” or the black dots.

￿Do not use with the cap numeral between “22” and the black line at the middle of the drill mark. Doing so

may cause damage (See Fig. 5).

2.Tightening torque adjustment

(1) Tightening torque

Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity to the screw diameter. When too strong torque is used, the screw head may be broken or be injured. Be sure to adjust the cap position according to the screw diameter.

(2) Tightening torque indication

The tightening torque differs depending on the type of screw and the material being tightened.

The unit indicates the tightening torque with the numbers “1, 4, 7 ... 22” on the cap, and the black dots. The tightening toque at position “1” is the weakest and the torque is strongest at the highest number (See Fig. 4).

(3) Adjusting the tightening torque

Rotate the cap and line up the numbers “1, 4, 7 ... 22” on the cap, or the black dots, with the triangle mark on the outer body. Adjust the cap in the weak or the strong torque direction according to the torque you need.

CAUTION

￿ The motor rotation may be locked to cease while the unit is used as drill. While operating the impact driver drill, take care not to lock the motor.

￿ Too long hammering may cause the screw broken due to excessive tightening.

3.Rotation to Impact changeover (See Fig. 4)

The “Rotation (Rotation only)” and “Impact (Impact

+ Rotation)” can be switched by aligning the drill

mark “” or the hammer mark “” with the triangle mark on the outer body.

￿To make holes in the metal, wood or plastic, switch to “Rotation (Rotation only)”.

￿To make holes in bricks or concrete blocks, switch to “Impact (Impact + Rotation)”.

CAUTION

If an operation which is normally performed at the “Rotation” setting is performed at “Impact “ setting, the effect of making holes does not only increase but it may also damage the bit or other parts.

4.Change rotation speed

By making a combination of the switch-over of “HIGH” or “LOW” with the shift knob and the switch-over of Power mode (P) or Save mode (S) with the lever on the side of the handle, the rotational speed can be set to four (4) steps. (See “SPECIFICATIONS”.)

￿How to switch over “HIGH” or “LOW”

Operate the shift knob to change the rotational speed. Move the shift knob in the direction of the arrow (see Figs. 6 and 7).

When the shift knob is set to “LOW”, the drill rotates at a low speed. When set to “HIGH”, the drill rotates at a high speed.
