CAUTION:
Do not use damaged hook and

provided with the hook only. After installing
the hook, make sure that the hook is securely
installed with the screws.

CAUTION:
Always use a locking carabiner
(multi-action and screw gate type) and be sure
to attach the lanyard (tether strap) to the double
looped portion of the hook.
Improper attachment
may cause tool drop from the hook and result in
personal injury.
The hook is also used for connecting the lanyard (tether

OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always hold the tool firmly with
both hands during operations.
CAUTION:
Always make sure that the work
-
piece is secured before operation.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the tool out forcibly
even the bit gets stuck. Loss of control may
cause injury.
NOTE:
If the battery cartridge is in low temperature,
the tool’s capability may not be fully obtained. In this
case, warm up the battery cartridge by using the
tool with no load for a while to fully obtain the tool’s
capability.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on
and apply slight pressure on the tool so that the tool will
not bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on
the tool will not increase the efficiency.

Safety warnings specific for use at height
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
serious injury.
1.
Always keep the tool tethered when working
"at height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m.
The maximum permissible fall height for lan
-
yard (tether strap) must not exceed 2 m.
2.
Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least 4.0 kg.
3.
Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body or on movable components. Anchor
the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
4.
Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at
each end prior to use.
5.
Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use
for damage and proper function (including
fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or
not functioning properly.
6.
Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to
come in contact with sharp or rough edges.
7.
Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside
the working area so that a falling tool is held
securely.
8.
Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls.
Dropped tools
will swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury
or loss of balance.
9.
Do not use near moving parts or running
machinery.
Failure to do so may result in a crush
or entanglement hazard.
10.
Do not carry the tool by the attachment device
or the lanyard.
11.
Only transfer the tool between your hands
while you are properly balanced.
