10. Mounting and dismounting of the bit

(1) Mounting the bit

Loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the

counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front)

to open the clip on the keyless chuck. After inserting

a driver bit, etc., into the keyless drill chuck, and

tighten the sleeve by turning it toward the right (in

the clockwise direction as viewed from the front).

(See Fig. 14)

⅜ If the sleeve becomes loose during operation, tighten

it further.

The tightening force becomes stronger when the

sleeve is tightened additionally.

(2) Dismounting the bit

Loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the

counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front),

and then take out the bit ect. (See Fig. 14)

NOTE:

If the sleeve is tightened in a state where the clip of

the keyless chuck is opened to a maximum limit, a

click noise may occur. This is the noise that occurs

when the loosening of the keyless chuck is prevented

and is not a malfunction.

CAUTION:

⅜ When it is no longer possible to loosen the sleeve,

use a vise or similar instrument to secure the bit. Set

the clutch mode between 1 and 11 and then turn the

sleeve to the loose side (left side) while operating the

clutch. It should be easy now to loosen the sleeve.

11. Automatic spindle-lock mechanism

This unit has automatic spindle-lock mechanism for

quick bit changes.

12. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly

13. Check the rotational direction

The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side)

by pushing the R-side of the push button.

The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the bit

counterclockwise. (See Fig. 15) (The

and

marks

are provided on the push button.)

14. Switch operation

⅜ When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates.

When the trigger is released, the tool stops.

⅜ The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by

varying the amount that the trigger switch is pulled.

Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly

and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.

NOTE:

⅜ A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about

to rotate; This is only a noise, not a machine failure.

15. Installing/Removing the side handle

CAUTION

⅜ Firmly install the side handle. If loose, the side handle

may gyrate or fall out and cause bodily injury.

(1) Install the side handle so that the protrusions on the

main unit and grooves on the side handle interlock.

Tighten the grip after checking that the side handle is

not riding on the slip prevention protrusion (Fig. 16).

(2) Loosen the grip to remove the side handle.

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

1. Resting the unit after continuous work

(1) The power tool is equipped with a temperature

protection circuit to protect the motor.

Continuous bolt-tightening work may cause the

temperature of the unit to rise, activating the

temperature protection circuit and automatically

stopping operation.

If this happens, allow the power tool to cool before

resuming use.

(2) After use for continuous tightening wood screw

works, rest the unit for 15 minutes or so when

replacing the battery. The temperature of the motor,

switch, etc., will rise if the work is started again

immediately after battery replacement, eventually

resulting in burnout.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the tool

Since use of as dull tool will degrade efficiency and

cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace

the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.

2. Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure

that they are properly tightened. Should any of the

screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure

to do so could result in serious hazard.

3. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the

power tool.

Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not

become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

4. Cleaning on the outside

When the driver drill is stained, wipe with a soft dry

cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not

use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for

they melt plastics.

5. Storage

Store the driver drill in a place in which the tempera

ture is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.

NOTE

Make sure that the battery is fully charged when

stored for a long period (3 months or more). The

battery with smaller capacity may not be able to be

charged when used, if stored for a long period.

NOTE

Storing lithium-ion batteries

Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully

charged before storing them.

Prolonged storage of batteries with a low charge

may result in performance deterioration, significantly

reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries

incapable of holding a charge.

However, significantly reduced battery usage time

may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using

the batteries two to five times.

If the battery usage time is extremely short despite

repeated charging and use, consider the batteries

dead and purchase new batteries.
