CAUTION:  
When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will heated,  
thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been cmpleted, give  
15 minutes rest until the next charging.  
If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight,  
the pilot lamp may light in green.  
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.  
When the pilot lamp flickers rapidly in red (at 0.2second intervals), check for and take  
out any foreign objects in the chargers battery installation hole. If there are no foreign  
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your  
authorized Service Center.  
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.

How to make the batteries perform longer.  
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.  
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and  
recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the  
battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.  
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.  
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged  
immediatelyafteruse,itsinternalchemicalsubstancewilldeteriorate,andthebatterylife  
will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.  
BEFORE USE  
Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter.  
Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate.  
OPERATION  
1. Mounting and dismounting the bit  
(1) Mounting the bit  
Tighten

Firmly grasp the ring and tighten the sleeve by  
turning it toward the right (in the clockwise direc-  
tion as viewed from the front). (See Fig. 11)  
Loosen  
Ring  
NOTE:  
Sleeve  
Fig. 11  
If the sleeve becomes loose during operation, tighten  
it further. The tihgtening force becomes stronger  
when the sleeve is tihgtenend.  
(2) Dismounting the bit.  
Firmly grasp the ring and loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the  
counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front). (See Fig. 11)  
CAUTION: When mounting a bit into the keyless chuck, tighten firmly.  
If the sleeve is not tight, the bit may slip or fall out, causing injury.  
2. Check the attachment of the battery.  
CAUTION: Install the battery properly.  
If not installed properly, it may fall out of the power tool and cause danger.

NOTE  
A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is  
about to rotate; this is only a noise, not a machine  
failure.  
[Counterclockwise]  
5. To use for drilling metal  
In case you drill metal with an iron-working drill bit, apply in advance a center punch  
in the drilling position. You can drill metal stably since the point of the drill bit does  
not slip.  
If you apply sewing machine oil or soapy water to the drill bit with a brush or an old  
tooth brush, the drill bit will last long.  
When drilling a hole, it cannot be drilled more rapidly by applying more than the  
required force. On the contrary, the edge of the drill bit will be damaged. This will  
decrease operational efficiency and shorten the life of this POWER TOOL.  
CAUTION:  
ThemotorrotationmaybelockedtoceasewhiletheCordlessangledrillisusedasadrill.  
The motor must be burnt or the battery life must remarkably be reduced when the  
locked condition is continued for several seconds.  
Drilling a hole in the metal exerts considerable force on the edge of the hole so that the  
drill bit may slip from the keyless chuck. If this happens, decrease the pushing pressure  
on the Cordless angle drill so that the drill bit does not slip.  
While operating the Cordless angle drill, take care not to lock the motor. If the motor is  
loked, immediately turn the power off.  
Do tighten too strongly as the screw heads will be damaged.
