NOTE: Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the actual capacity.
When charging
When the charging begins, the first (far left) indicating lamp begins to blink. Then, as charging proceeds, the other lamps light, one after the other, to indicate the battery capacity.
NOTE: If the indicator lamp does not turn on or blink when charging, the battery may be faulty. In this case, ask your local service center.
When using
When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light to indicate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is switched off, the light goes out after approx. 5 seconds. When pushing the check button with the tool switched off, the indicator lamps turn on for approx. 5 seconds to show battery capacity. If the orange lamp blinks, the tool stops because of little remaining battery capacity (Auto-stop mechanism). Charge the battery cartridge or use a charged battery cartridge at this time. When the tool is used with a battery that has not been used for a long time and is switched on, no lamps may light up. The tool stops because of little remaining battery capacity at this time. Charge the battery properly.
Tool/battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool or battery is placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the tool/battery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool stops automatically. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops automatically. In this situation, let the tool/battery cool before turning the tool on again.
Over-discharge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the tool and charge the battery.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your drill bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.
CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device.
Fig.17
Hold the tool firmly and place the point of the driver bit/ socket bit in the screw head. Apply forward pressure to the tool to the extent that the bit will not slip off the screw and turn the tool on to start operation.
NOTICE: If you use a spare battery to continue the operation, rest the tool at least 15 min.
NOTICE: Use the proper bit for the head of the screw/bolt that you wish to use.
NOTICE: Hold the tool pointed straight at the screw.
NOTICE: If you tighten the screw for a long time, the screw or the point of the driver bit may be overstressed, stripped, damaged, etc. Before starting your job, always perform a test operation to determine the proper fastening time for your screw.
NOTICE: If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the following. After fastening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.

  1. When the battery cartridge is discharged almost completely, the voltage will drop and the fastening torque will be reduced.
  2. Driver bit or socket bit Failure to use the correct size driver bit or socket bit will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
  3. Bolt
    · Even though the torque coefficient and the class of bolt are the same, the proper fastening torque will differ according to the diameter of the bolt.
    · Even though the diameters of bolts are the same, the proper fastening torque will differ according to the torque coefficient, the class of bolt, and the bolt length.
  4. The use of the universal joint or the socket adapter somewhat reduces the fastening force of the tool. Compensate by fastening for a longer period of time.
  5. The type of materials to be fastened, the manner of holding the tool and the tool speed will affect the torque.
  6. Operating the tool at a low speed will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
