- 11 - [Main unit] CAUTION • When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center position (switch lock). NOTE: Exercise caution to ensure no objects come into contact with the tool’s trigger switch. If an object comes into contact with the tool’s trigger switch, even while the Forward/Reverse lever is in the center position (locked), a small amount of electric current may continue flowing, which may cause an excessive discharge from the battery pack and subsequent battery pack failure. Switch and Forward/Reverse Lever Operation [Fig.5] 1. Push the lever for forward or reverse rotation. Check the direction of the lever before using. 2. Depress the trigger switch slightly to start the tool slowly. 3. Speed will increase by pressing the trigger. The tool stops working immedi - ately by releasing the trigger. 4. When done with an application, lock the switch by centering the lever. NOTE: When the brake operates, a braking sound may be heard. This is normal. CAUTION: When operating the tool by pulling the trigger, there may be a momentary lag before rotation starts. This does not signal a malfunction. * This lag occurs as the tool’s circuitry starts up when the trigger is pulled for the first time after installing a battery pack or after the tool has not been used for at least 1 minute (or at least 5 minutes when the LED is on). Rotation will start without any lag during second and subsequent opera - tions. CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not operate Forward/Reverse lever until the bit comes to a complete stop. Clutch Torque Setting Adjust the torque to one of the 18 clutch settings or “” position. CAUTION: • Set the clutch setting at this mark [Fig.6] before actual operation. • If the clutch handle cannot be set at “drilling” mode after driving with clutch function, set the clutch handle at position 1 and operate the clutch for a second. Speed SelectionChoose a low or high speed to suit the use. [Fig.7] The more the variable speed control trigger is pulled, the higher the speed becomes. CAUTION: • Check the speed selector switch before use. • Use at low speed when high torque is needed during operation. (Using at high speed when high torque is required may cause a motor break - down.) • To prevent excessive temperature increase of the tool surface, do not operate the tool continuously using two or more battery packs. The tool needs cool-off time before switching to another pack. • Do not close up vent holes on the sides of the body during operation. Otherwise, the machine function is adversely affected to cause a failure. • Do NOT strain the tool (motor). This may cause damage to the unit. • Use the tool in such a way as to prevent the air from the body vent holes from blowing directly onto your skin. Otherwise, you may get burned. EN

Need to be charged soon 3 lamps flashingEmpty Need to be charged imme - diately Battery level indication is just guide. The indication may change due to the condition of battery or ambient tempera - ture. Excessive (complete) discharging of lithium ion batteries shortens their service life dramatically. The driver includes a battery protection feature designed to prevent excessive discharging of the battery pack. Bit-locking Function 1. With the trigger switch not engaged and a screwdriver bit locked in place, the tool can be used as a manual screw - driver (up to 22.6 N•m, 230 kgf•cm, 199 in•lbs). There will be a little play in the chuck, but this is not a malfunction. 2. This feature is handy for tightening screws that require more torque than the maximum torque of the driver (position on the clutch), for confirm- ing the tightness of a screw or to loosen an extremely tight screw. Changing the Belt Hook Location Side [Fig.8] The belt hook can be attached to either side of the unit. 1. Removing the hook (1) Remove the nut. (2) Draw out the hook. 2. Attaching the hook to the other side (1) Insert the hook in the other side. (2) Tighten the nut fully so that it securely fastened. WARNING! • Be sure to attach the belt hook securely to the main unit with the screw firmly fastened. When the belt hook is not firmly attached to the main unit, the hook may disconnect and the main unit may fall. This may result in an accident or injury. • Periodically check screw for tightness. If found to be loose, tighten firmly. • Be sure to attach the belt hook firmly and securely onto a waist belt or other belt. Pay attention that the unit does not slip off the belt. This may result in an accident or injury. • When the main unit is held by the belt hook, avoid jumping or running with it. Doing so may cause the hook to slip and the main unit may fall. This may result in an accident or injury. • When the unit is hooked onto the waist belt by the belt hook, do not attach driver bits to the unit. A sharp edge object, such as a drill bit, may cause injury or an accident. EN

Définitions des codes IPIP5X: L’entrée de poussière n’est pas complè-tement empêchée mais la poussière ne doit pas pénétrer au point de perturber le fonction-nement satisfaisant de l’outil ou d’en affecter la sécurité (Au cas où de la poudre de talc de moins de 75 μm s’introduirait à l’intérieur de l’outil). IPX6: L’eau projetée en jets puissants contre l’outil de n’importe quelle direction ne doit pas avoir d’effets nuisibles (Au cas où approximati -vement 100 L/min d’eau à température normale est projetée sur l’outil a 3 mètre de distance pendant 3 minutes avec une lance de 12,5 mm de diamètre intérieur). GARANTIE LIMITÉELe code IP56 rend possible un impact mini-mum d’eau et de poussière sur cet outil mais il n’en garantit pas les performances dans de telles conditions. Veuillez lire la notice d’utilisa -tion et de sécurité pour plus de détails quant à un fonctionnement approprié. I. USAGE PREVUCes outils peuvent être utilisés pour serrer des vis en mode embrayé, et pour percer des trous dans du bois et du métal en mode perceuse. II. CONSIGNES DE SECU RITE GENERALES AVERTISSEMENT! Veuillez lire toutes les instructions. Si les instructions détaillées ci-dessous ne sont pas observées, cela peut entraîner une électrocution, un incendie et/ou des bles -sures graves. Le terme “outil mécanique” utilisé dans tous les avertissements ci-des-sous se réfère aux outils mécaniques opérés par cordons d’alimentation et par batterie (sans fil). CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS Sécurité de la zone de travail 1) Gardez la zone de travail propre et bien aérée. Les endroits encombrés et sombres invitent les accidents. 2) Ne faites pas fonctionner les outils mécaniques dans des atmosphères explosives, comme en présence de liquides inflammables, de gaz ou de poussière. Les outils mécaniques génèrent des étincelles qui peuvent enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs. 3) Gardez les enfants et les spectateurs éloignés lors du fonctionnement d’un outil mécanique. Les distractions peuvent en faire perdre le contrôle. Sécurité électrique 1) La fiche des outils mécaniques doit correspondre aux prises secteur. Ne modifiez la fiche sous aucun prétexte. N’utilisez pas de fiche adaptatrice avec les outils mécaniques mis à la terre. Des fiches non modifiées et des prises secteur correspondant réduisent les risques d’électrocution. 2) Evitez tout contact physique avec les surfaces mises à la terre telles que tuyaux, radiateurs, micro-ondes et réfrigérateurs. Il y a un risque d’électrocution supplémen-taire si votre corps est mis à la terre. 3) N’exposez pas les outils mécaniques à la pluie ou à des conditions humides. De l’eau pénétrant dans un outil méca-nique augmente le risque d’électrocution. 4) Ne malmenez pas le cordon. N’utilisez jamais le cordon pour transporter, pour tirer ou pour débrancher l’outil méca -nique. Gardez le cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, d’objets aux bords coupants ou de pièces en mouvement. Les cordons endommagés on emmêlés augmentent le risque d’électrocution. FR
- 20 - 5) Lors du fonctionnement des outils mécaniques à l’extérieur, utilisez une rallonge adaptée à l’utilisation à l’exté -rieur. L’utilisation d’un cordon adapté à l’utilisa-tion à l’extérieur réduit les risques d’élec-trocution. Sécurité personnelle 1) Restez alerte, regardez ce que vous faites et faites preuve de bon sens lorsque vous utilisez un outil méca -nique. N’utilisez pas un outil méca-nique alors que vous êtes fatigué ou sous les effets de drogue, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un moment d’inattention pendant que vous faites fonctionner l’outil mécanique peut entraîner des blessures graves. 2) Utilisez des équipements de sécurité. Portez toujours des protection pour vos yeux. Des équipements de sécurité comme masque antipoussière, chaussures de sécurité non glissantes, casque de protec -tion ou protections d’oreilles, utilisés dans des conditions appropriées réduisent les blessures corporelles. 3) Evitez tout démarrage accidentel. Assu -rez-vous que l’interrupteur est en position d’arrêt avant de brancher l’outil. Le transport d’outils mécaniques avec le doigt sur l’interrupteur ou le branchement d’outils mécaniques dont l’interrupteur est sur la position de marche invite les acci -dents. 4) Retirez toute clé d’ajustement ou clé de serrage avant de mettre l’outil méca -nique en marche. Une clé de serrage ou une clé d’ajuste-ment laissée attachée à une pièce tour-nante de l’outil mécanique peut entraîner des blessures corporelles. 5) Ne vous mettez pas en déséquilibre. Gardez une bonne prise au sol et votre équilibre à tout moment. Ceci permet un meilleur contrôle de l’outil mécanique dans des situations inatten-dues. 6) Habillez-vous correctement. Ne portez pas de vêtements lâches ou de bijoux. Gardez vos cheveux, vêtements et gants éloignés des pièces en mouve -ment. Des vêtements lâches, des bijoux ou des cheveux longs peuvent se faire prendre dans les pièces en mouvement. 7) Si des disposi t i fs pour l a connexion d’appareils d’extraction et de ramas -sage de la poussière sont fournis, assurez-vous qu’ils sont connectés et correctement utilisés. L’utilisation de ces dispositifs peut réduire les risques concernés. Utilisation et soins de l’outil mécanique 1) Ne forcez pas l’outil mécanique. Utili-sez l’outil mécanique correct pour votre application. L’outil mécanique correct exécute mieux le travail dans de meilleurs conditions de sécurité s’il est utilisé à l’allure pour laquelle il a été conçu. 2) N’utilisez pas l’outil mécanique si l’interrupteur ne le met pas en marche ou ne l’arrête pas. Tout outil mécanique qui ne peut pas être contrôlé par son interrupteur est dange- reux et doit être réparé. 3) Débranchez la fiche de la source d’alimentation et/ou du bloc de batterie avant d’effectuer tout ajustement, de changer d’accessoire ou de ranger l’outil mécanique. De telles mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent les risques de faire démarrer l’outil mécanique accidentellement. 4) Rangez les outils mécaniques inutilisés hors de la portée des enfants et ne laissez personne qui n’est pas familiari -sé avec l’outil mécanique ou ses instructions faire fonctionner l’outil mécanique. Les outils mécaniques sont dangereux dans les mains des utilisateurs manquant d’entraînement. FR
