Switch and Forward / Reverse
lever Operation
(Forward (Q), Switch lock, Reverse (Q))
CAUTION:
Do not operate Forward/Reverse
lever until the chuck comes to a com¬
plete stop. Shifting during rotation of
the chuck may damage the tool.
Forward Rotation Switch Operation
1. For forward rotation, set the lever to forward.
2. Depress the trigger switch slightly to start the
tool slowly.
3. The speed increases with the amount of
depression of the trigger for efficient tightening
of screws and drilling. The brake operates and
the chuck stops immediately when the trigger
is released.
4. After use, set the lever to its center position
(switch lock).
Reverse Rotation Switch Operation
1. For reverse rotation, set the lever to reverse.
Check the direction of rotation before use.
2. Depress the trigger switch slightly to start the
tool slowly.
3. After use, set the lever to its center position
(switch lock).
Speed Selection

CAUTION:
Check the speed selector switch
before use.
Clutch Torque Setting
Adjust the torque to one of the 18 possible set¬
tings or " £ " position to the job.

Test the setting before actual opera¬
tion. Set the scale at this mark {<]).
(Fig. 7)
Note:
When the brake operates, a braking sound
may be heard.
This sound indicates engagement of the bit
lock.
CAUTION:
• To eliminate excessive tempera¬
ture increase of the tool surface,
do not operate the tool continu¬
ously using two or more battery
packs.
Tool needs cool off time before
switching to another pack.
• Do not close up vent holes on
body sides of the body during
operation.
Otherwise, the machine function is
adversely affected to cause a fail¬
ure
• Do NOT strain the tool(motor).
This may cause damage to the
unit.
• Use the machine in such a way as
to prevent the air from the body
vent holes from blowing directly
onto your skin. Otherwise, you
may get burnt.
• When operating with a Ni-MH bat¬
tery pack, make sure the place is
well-ventilated.
For Appropriate use of Battery pack
NI-MH Battery pack
(EY9200/EY9201/EY9230/EY9231)
• Charge the Ni-MH battery fully before storage
in order to ensure a longer service life.
• The ambient temperature range is between
0°C and 40°C.
If the battery pack is used when the battery
temperature is below 0°C, the tool may fail to
function properly. In that case, charge the bat¬
tery until charging is completed for appropriate
functioning of the battery.
Nl-Cd Battery pack
(EY9106/EY9136)
• Nickel cadmium battery pack requires a
"BREAK-IN PERIOD" to reach maximum oper¬
ating capacity. The "BREAK-IN PERIOD" is
accomplished during normal usage during the
first 6-8 charge and discharge cycles of the
battery pack.
After the "BREAK-IN PERIOD" is completed,
the battery pack will maintain maximum operat¬
ing capacity throughout the normal life of the
battery pack.
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.
Note: •
Use under extremely hot or cold condi¬
tions will reduce operating capacity per
charge.
• Battery pack EY9106, EY9136 contain
Nickel-Cadmium batteries.
The batteries must be recycled or dis¬
posed of properly.
