the protuberance of the hook cover, press the hook
cover in the direction opposite to that of the arrow
shown in Fig. 19 and then tighten the screw.
Use commercially available AAAA batteries (1.5 V).
NOTE
Do not tighten the screw excessively. Such action
could strip the screw threads.
CAUTION
Failure to observe the following can result in battery
leakage, rust or malfunction.
Position the plus (+) and minus (–) terminals correctly.
Replace both batteries at the same time. Do not mix
old and new batteries.
Remove exhausted batteries from the hook
immediately.
Do not discard batteries together with normal trash
and do not throw batteries into fire.
Store batteries out of the reach of children.
Use batteries correctly in accordance with the battery
specifications and indications.
11. Using the bit holder
CAUTION
Stow the bit in the specified location on the tool.
If the tool is used with the bit stowed improperly,
the bit may fall and cause bodily injury.
Do not stow bits that are of a different length,
gauge or dimension than the plus driver bit (65 mm
long) included in the STANDARD ACCESSORIES.
The bit may fall and cause bodily injury.
(1) Removing the bit
Securely hold the main unit and pull out the bit
by holding the tip with your thumb (Fig. 21).
(2) Installing the Bit
Install the bit with steps opposite of when removing.
Insert the bit so that the right and left sides are
equal, as shown in Fig. 22.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the tool
Since use of as dull tool will degrade efficiency and
cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or
replace the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
3. Cleaning on the outside
When the driver drill is stained, wipe with a soft
dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water.
Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner,
for they melt plastics.
4. Storage
Store the driver drill in a place in which the temperature
is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.

Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN60745.
As drill:
Vibration emission value
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s
WARNING
The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
To identify the safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure
in the actual conditions of use (taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times
when the tool is switched off and when it is running
idle in addition to the trigger time).
