• When using at high speeds, set the clutch at 10 or below. (Operation stops at the maximum torque of 1.5 N·m (15 kgf-cm) when the scale is higher.)
• The auto shut-off function may become inoperable at high clutch settings when battery power drops. Recharge the battery in that case.

NOTE:
The chart is only a reference. The torque settings may differ by materials, types of screws, etc. Please test it at your own conditions before use.

• Battery Low Warning Lamp

Excessive (complete) discharging of Li-ion batteries shortens their service life dramatically. The driver includes a battery protection feature designed to prevent excessive discharging of the battery pack.

• The battery protection feature activates immediately before  the battery loses its charge, causing the battery low warning lamp to flash.
• If you notice the battery low warning lamp flashing, charge the battery pack immediately.

• Using the LED Light
Before the use of LED light, always pull the power switch once.
Press the LED light on button.
The light illuminates with very low current, and it does not adversely affect the performance of the tool during use or its battery capacity.

CAUTION:

• The built-in LED light is designed to illuminate the small work area temporarily.
• Do not use it as a substitute for a regular flashlight, since it does not have enough brightness.
• LED light turns off when the tool has not been used for 5 minutes.

Caution : DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• Bit-locking Function
With the switch at off and the bit locked in place, the tool can be used as a manual screw-driver – up to 14.7 N·m (150 kgf-cm, 130 in-lbs).
There will be a little play in the driving shaft, but this is not a malfunction.

• Main Switch (ON/OFF)
Push the upper half of the switch for forward rotation, or the lower half for reverse rotation.

• Speed Selector Switch
To suit the application of this tool, two different rotational speeds are available. Depending upon use, either the high or low speed should be selected.

CAUTION:

• Check speed selector switch before use.
• Do not operate the speed selector switch while the main switch is on (switch is in the ON position).

• Main Switch Lock
After use, set the main switch lock at the lock position to prevent accidental operation.

• Battery Pack
CAUTION:

1. Remove the battery pack away from the tool.
2. Charge the battery pack using the battery charger.
3. After charging has been completed, remove the battery pack from the charger and connect it to the tool. Disconnect the charger from the power source when not in use.

NOTE:
Use under extremely hot or cold conditions will reduce operating capacity per charge.
[Battery Pack]
For Appropriate Use of Battery pack
Li-ion Battery pack

• For optimum battery life, store the Li-ion battery pack following use without charging it.

• The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32 °F), the tool may fail to function properly.

• 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 sparks, burns or a fire.

• When operating the battery pack, make sure the work place is well ventilated.

Battery Pack Life
The rechargeable batteries have a limited life. If the operation time becomes extremely short after recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one.
Battery Recycling
ATTENTION:
For environmental protection and recycling of materials, be sure that it is disposed of at an officially assigned location, if there is one in your country.
[Battery Charger]
Charging
Common Cautions for the Li-ion/Ni-Cd Battery Pack
NOTE:

• When a cold battery (of about 0°C or less) is to be charged in a warm room, leave the battery in the room for at least one hour and charge it when it has warmed up to room temperature. (Failing to do so may result in less than a full charge.)
• Cool down the charger when charging more than two battery packs consecutively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions.

CAUTION:
To prevent the risk of fire or damage to the battery charger.

• Do not use power source from an engine generator.
• Do not cover vent holes on the charger and the battery pack.
• Unplug the charger when not in use.

Li-ion Battery Pack
NOTE:
Your battery pack is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Be sure to charge the battery before use.
Battery charger

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
   NOTE:
   Sparks may be produced when the plug is inserted into the AC power supply, but this is not a problem in terms of safety.

2. Slide the battery dock cover back to allow insertion of the Li-ion battery pack.
   ● Verify that the cover is locked se­curely in place.

3. Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger.

4. During charging, the charging lamp will be lit.
   When charging is completed, an internal electronic switch will automatically be triggered to prevent overcharging.
   • Charging will not start if the battery pack is warm (for example, immediately after heavy-duty operation).
   The orange standby lamp will be flashing until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically.

5. The charge lamp (green) will flash slowly once the battery is approximately 80% charged.

6. When charging is completed, the charging lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.

7. If the temperature of the battery pack is 0°C or less, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack than the standard charging time. Even when the battery is fully charged, it will have approximately 50% of the power of a fully charged battery at normal operating temperature.

8. If the power lamp does not light immediately after the charger is plugged in, or if after the standard charging time the charging lamp does not flash quickly in green, consult an authorized dealer.

9. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted into the charger again, the charging lamp lights up. After several minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate the charging is completed.
