h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger speci
fi
ed by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of
fi
re when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with speci
fi
cally
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and
fi
re.
c) 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 connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a
fi
re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs,
fl
ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modi
fi
ed.
Damaged or modi
fi
ed batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fi
re, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fi
re or
excessive temperature.
Exposure
to
fi
re or temperature above 130°C may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range speci
fi
ed in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the speci
fi
ed range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of
fi
re.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali
fi
ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and in
fi
rm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and in
fi
rm persons.
CORDLESS IMPACT DRIVER SAFETY
WARNINGS
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener may
contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
1. This is a portable tool for tightening and loosening
screws, bolts and nuts. Use it only for these operation.
2. Make sure to securely hold the tool during operation.
Failure to do so can result in accidents or injuries.
(
Fig. 2
)
3. Preparing and checking the work environment. Make
sure that the work site meets all the conditions laid forth
in the precautions.
4. Check the actual tightening torque with a toruqe wrench.
5. Stop the tool before switching the direction of rotation.
Always release the switch and wait for tool to stop before
switching the direction of rotation.
6. Never touch the turning part. Do not allow the turning
part section to get near your hands or any other part of
your body. You could be cut or caught in the turning part.
Also, be careful not to touch the turning part after using
continuously it for a long time. It gets quite hot and could
burn you.
7. Please use the designated attachments which are
listed in the operations manual and HiKOKI’s catalog.
Accidents or injuries could result from not doing so.
8. Make sure to
fi
rmly install the attachments in the anvil. If
the attachments is not
fi
rmly installed it might come out
and cause injuries.
After installing the driver bit, pull lightly out the bit to
make sure that it does not come loose during use. If the
guide sleeve does not return to its original position, then
the bit is not installed properly.
9. Resting the unit after continuous work.
10. Cautions on use of the speed control switch
This switch has a built-in, electronic circuit which
steplessly varies the rotation speed. Consequently,
when the switch trigger is pulled only slightly (low speed
rotation) and the motor is stopped while continuously
driving in screws, the components of the electronic
circuit parts may overheat and be damaged.
11. Do not touch the metal parts, as it gets very hot during
continuous work.
12. The use of the battery in a cold condition (below 0 degree
Centigrade) can sometimes result in the weakened
tightening torque and reduced amount of work. This,
however, is a temporary phenomenon, and returns to
normal when the battery warms up.
13. Do not look directly into the light. Such actions could
result in eye injury.
Wipe
o
ff
any dirt or grime attached to the lens of the LED
light with a soft cloth, being careful not to scratch the
lens.
Scratches on the lens of the LED light can result in
decreased brightness.
14. Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely
installed, it may cause an injury while using.
When electing to carry the tool hooked to your hip belt,
make sure to detach the tool bit. Failure to do so may
result in unexpected injury.
15. Always use the tool and the battery at temperatures
between -5
o
C and 40
o
C
16. Always charge the battery at an ambient temperature of
0°C–40°C.
17. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
18. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
19.
Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.
Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.
20. Do not dispose of the battery in
fi
re. If the battery is burnt,
it may explode.
