- 3 - I. GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electr ic shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains 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 and dark areas invite accidents. 2) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create spar ks 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 ear thed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radi- ators, 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. 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 increase 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 aler t, 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 influ - ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury. 2) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hear - ing protection used for appropriate condi- tions 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 rotat - ing par t 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 cloth- ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 7) If devices are provided for the connec- tion 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 adjust - ments, changing accessories, or stor- ing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of star ting the power tool acci - dentally. 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.
- 4 - 5) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign- ment 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 poor ly 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 intend - ed for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working condi - tions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a haz- ardous 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 speci- fied 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 specifically 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 con - nection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns, or a fire. 5) 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 iden- tical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of power tool is maintained. WARNING To red uce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual. II. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 1) Hold tool by insulated gripping sur- faces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hid -den wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”and shock the operator. 2) Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss. 3) Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. 4) Do not operate the Forward/Reverse lever when the Variable speed control trigger is on. The batter y will discharge rapidly and damage to the unit may occur. 5) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately turn the Variable speed control trigger off to prevent an overload which can damage the battery pack or motor. Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits. 6) When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center (switch lock) position. 7) Do not strain the tool by holding the speed control trigger halfway (speed control mode) so that the motor stops. 8) During charging, the charger may become slightly warm. This is normal. Do not charge the battery for a long period.

To turn off the one-shot impact function, press the button () once more then light () turns off. Digital Clutch The digital clutch automatically stops the driver rotation when the load is reached to the select setting. Depress the trigger switch fully to tighten the screws until the digital clutch operates. If the screw head is not flush to the material surface, release the trigger switch and then within 1 sec. depress it again. This will operate the one-shot impact function. To select digital clutch setting. Refer to the guideline table and check the application. (See p.13.) Press the impact power mode button to set the impact power mode. (See p.8.) Press the digital clutch setting buttons and select the setting to match the application. The digital clutch setting increases each time (+) button is pressed. The setting decreases each time (-) button is pressed. Digital clutch setting range Setting is available from 1 to 16 stages to match the application. Full power Keep pressing theandbutton 0.6 sec or more will automatically shift the setting to “F”. (Digital clutch is turned off in the each impact power mode.) Turn off the digital clutch. Press the digital clutch setting button to change the setting to “F.” NOTE: When selecting the digital clutch set-ting, first start at a low setting and a soft impact mode. Then gradually select to higher settings. Try on a scrap piece of the material to determine the best set-ting beforehand. Too high setting could result in over-tightening of the screws. Keep the trigger switch fully depressed while tightening one screw to operate the digital clutch. Do not release the trig-ger switch until digital clutch operates. The clutch setting remains the same when the driver is changed from for-ward to reverse rotation while the clutch is set. To drive in reverse at full power, change the clutch setting display to “F” and turn off the digital clutch. The driver is preset to “F” full power (digital clutch is off) and the one-shot impact function is off when shipped from the manufacture. CAUTION: When the clutch is set to 1 or 2 stage, the impact power mode is automatically set at “Soft” impact mode regardless of the impact power mode select display setting. When the clutch is set to 3 or 4 stage, the impact powermode is automatically set at “Medium” impact mode even in the “Hard” impact mode display setting.
- 10 - Clutch setting andoperating impact forceImpactPower ModeDisplay SoftMediumHardH SoftMediumMediumM SoftSoftSoftS Important remarks when using the digital clutch and one shot impact functions The digital clutch setting could be used only as a guideline. The suitable setting will var y depending on the hardness of the material, the force being applied to the tool, and the type of screw. Uneven material hardness could result in less-tightening or over-tightening depend-ing on the position on the material. If the battery pack capacity is low, the driver might not fully tighten the screws. Usage When driving screws into wood, use the screws of less than 90 mm long and avoid knots of wood materials. Be sure to set the impact power mode and digital clutch to match the material and screws being used. When selecting the digital clutch settings, start from low to high stage while check- ing the setting (on a scrap piece of the material) to determine the best setting. Too high setting could result in over-tight -ening of the screws. Depress the trigger switch fully when using the digital clutch and/or one-shot impact function during one period of oper - ation. Using low speed by trigger switch could result in a discrepancy in work results. When using the digital clutch, depress the trigger switch fully until the digital clutch operates. Do not release the switch until the rotation stops. Releasing the switch to stop rotation before finishing tighten - ing a screw could result in not being fully tightened. (If this happens, start from the beginning of fastening.) Applications not recommended for these functions Tightening screws into easily breakable materials, such as thin plastics. Tightening screws into lightweight steel sheet which thickness is 0.8 mm or less. Tightening TEKS screws into soft surface materials, such as interior finishing materials. Reason: The impact function is a mechanical sideway impact. The tight- ening torque increases instantly step by step when the hammer impacts. There - fore, fastening torque of impact driver is not generally increased as a drill driver. (The accuracy also varies depending on the material.) Tightening time Number of impacts Impact torque curveTightening torque (load) Drill driver torque increase. Setting value Impact torque curve To control the tightening torque for screws and bolts during factor y manufacturing and assembly. Reason: The digital clutch uses a sen- sor and microcomputer to deduce the load from the number of motor rotation between impacts and then stop the rotation when the load reaches to the set clutch load. To deduce this load requires at least 4 or 5 impacts, This is not suitable for materi - als which requires a low tightening load, as impact may not occur 4 or 5 times. The digital clutch cannot operate accurate- ly when the connecting surface material is soft and the fixing base sheet is hard. Example applications for which it cannot be used; Attaching gypsum board on hard wood. Tightening screws with different lengths, diameters, thread pitches, etc., even if they are the same type of screw.
