							- 13 -
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 breakdown.)
 ●Do  not  operate  the  speed  selector 
switch  (LOW-HIGH)  while  pulling  on 
the  speed  control  trigger.  This  can 
cause  the  rechargeable  battery  to 
wear  quickly  or  damage  the  internal 
mechanism of the motor.
*   See  specifications  for  “MAXIMUM 
RECOMMENDED CAPACITIES”.
CAUTION: ●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.
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  screwdriver  (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 confirming 
the tightness of a screw or to loosen an 
extremely tight screw.

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.
(2) Overheat warning lamp
To protect the motor or battery, be sure to 
note  the  following  when  carrying  out  this 
operation.
Off  
(normal 
operation) Illuminated: 
Overheat 
(motor) Flashing: 
Overheat 
(battery)
Indicates operation has 
been halted due to motor 
or battery overheating.
 ●If the motor or battery becomes hot, the 
protection  function  will  be  activated  and 
the  motor  or  battery  will  stop  operating. 
The  overheat  warning  lamp  on  the 
control  panel  illuminates  or  flashes  when 
this feature is active.
 ●If  the  overheating  protection  feature 
activates,  allow  the  tool  to  cool 
thoroughly  (at  least  30  minutes).  The 
tool  is  ready  for  use  when  the  overheat 
warning lamp goes out.
 ●Avoid using the tool in a way that causes 
the  overheating  protection  feature  to 
activate repeatedly.
 ●If the tool is operated continuously under 
high-load conditions or if it is used in hot-
temperature  conditions  (such  as  during 
summer),  the  overheating  protection 
feature may activate frequently.
 ●If the tool is used in cold-temperature 
conditions  (such  as  during  winter)  or  if 
it  is  frequently  stopped  during  use,  the 
overheating  protection  feature  may  not 
activate.
The  performance  of  the  EY9L42  de-
teriorates significantly at and below 10°C 
due to work conditions and other factors. 
 ●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 charging a cool battery pack (below 
0°C  (32°F))  in  a  warm  place,  leave  the 
battery pack at the place and wait for more 
than one hour to warm up the battery to 
the level of the ambient temperature.

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.
 ●If it is started with too little battery power 
remaining,  the  tool  may  stop  operating 
without  the  battery  low  warning  lamp 
flashing  first.  This  indicates  that  there  is 
too  little  battery  power  remaining  to  use 
the tool, and the battery pack should be 
charged before further use.
 ●If  the  tool  is  subject  to  a  sudden  load 
during  use  that  causes  the  motor  to 
lock  up,  the  overdischarge  prevention 
sensor may be triggered, and the battery 
low  warning  lamp  may  flash.  The  lamp 
will  stop  flashing  once  you  address  the 
cause of the motor’s locking up and cycle 
the trigger.
 ●The battery protection feature may 
activate  when  a  high  load  is  abruptly 
placed  on  the  motor,  even  if  ample 
battery charge remains. In this case, both 
the  battery  low  warning  lamp  and  LED 
light will flash (EY74A1).
 ●If  both  the  battery  low  warning  lamp  and 
LED  light  flash,  reduce  the  force  with 
which  you  are  pushing  on  the  driver  or, 
if  using  a  drill  driver,  adjust  the  speed 
switch to a lower setting (EY74A1).
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.

3)  N’exposez  pas  les  outils 
mécaniques  à  la  pluie  ou  à  des 
conditions humides.
  De l’eau pénétrant dans un outil 
mécanique  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  mécanique. 
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.
5)  Lors  du  fonctionnement  des  outils 
mécaniques  à  l’extérieur,  utilisez 
une  rallonge  adaptée  à  l’utilisation 
à l’extérieur.
  L’utilisation d’un cordon adapté à 
l’utilisation à l’extérieur réduit les 
risques d’électrocution.
Sécurité personnelle
1) Restez  alerte,  regardez  ce  que 
vous  faites  et  faites  preuve  de 
bon  sens  lorsque  vous  utilisez 
un  outil  mécanique.  N’utilisez 
pas  un  outil  mécanique  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 protection ou protections 
d’oreilles, utilisés dans des conditions 
appropriées réduisent les blessures 
corporelles.
3)  Evitez  tout  démarrage  accidentel. 
Assurez-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 accidents.
4)  Retirez  toute  clé  d’ajustement  ou 
clé de serrage avant de mettre l’outil 
mécanique en marche.
  Une  clé  de  serrage  ou  une  clé 
d’ajustement  laissée  attachée  à  une 
pièce  tournante  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 
inattendues.
6)  Habillez-vous  correctement.  Ne 
portez  pas  de  vêtements  lâches 
ou  de  bijoux.  Gardez  vos  cheveux, 
vêtements  et  gants  éloignés  des 
pièces en mouvement.
  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 
ramassage  de  la  poussière  sont 
fournis,  assurez-vous  qu’ils  sont 
connectés et correctement utilisés.
  L’utilisation de ces dispositifs peut 
réduire les risques concernés.
