1. GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECRRICAL SAFETY
•Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
•Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, ra-
diators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury. Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference. The term "power
tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-op-
erated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
WARNING
PJR265_CE.book 6 ページ ２０１０年１０月１３日 水曜日 午後４時５１分

7
parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use.
Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
•Do not use the power tool in the rain,
where water is splashing, in a wet
place, or in a damp place. Using the tool
in these or similar conditions will increase
the risk of electric shock, dangerous mal-
function, and overheating. If operating a
power tool in a damp location is una-
voidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
•Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion, hand protector used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
•Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in a
personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
•If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
•Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
•Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
•Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power
PJR265_CE.book 7 ページ ２０１０年１０月１３日 水曜日 午後４時５１分

8
tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
•Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERY
PACKS/BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR
WATER. Battery packs/batteries should
be collected, recycled or disposed of in an
environmental-friendly manner.
•PROTECT THE BATTERY AGAINST
HEAT, ALSO AGAINST CONTINUOUS
SUN IRRADIATION AND FIRE. There is
danger of explosion.
•CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK IN A
TEMPERATURE RANGE 5°(41F) TO
40°(104F)
•DO NOT DISPOSE OF POWER TOOLS
INTO HOUSEHOLD WASTE. According
to the European Guideline 2002/96/EC
for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip-
ment and its implementation into national
right, power tools that are no longer usa-
ble must be collected separately and dis-
posed of in an environmentally correct
manner.
•DEFFECTIVE OR DEAD OUT BATTERY
PACKS/BATTERIES MUST BE RECY-
CLED ACCORDING TO THE GUIDE-
LINE 91/157/EEC.
•Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with
another type of battery pack.
•Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
•When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
•Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid con-
tact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
6. SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.

1. Charging
•Before removing the Battery pack from the
tool, set the Rotational direction
switch(Fig. B.11) at middle position, and
keep hands away from the Trigger
switch(Fig. B.12).
1(Fig. E) A Pack cap(Fig. E 13) that is used
to prevent short circuits must be re-
moved from the terminal of the Battery
pack.
(Fig. F) When charging the Battery pack, re-
move it from the tool by pushing on its latches
(Fig. F 16) from both sides while firmly holding
the grip of the tool.
2(Fig. G) Plug the charger into a wall sock-
et (100V - 240V).
The red light, a current-carrying indica-
tor, (Fig. G 20) will flash on and off with
two short (Pipi) beep sounds.
WHEN THE ORANGE STANDBY
LIGHT IS LIT
When the Battery pack is hot (after continuous
use or exposure to direct sunlight) the Charger
will automatically switch to standby to protect the
Battery. The orange standby light will be lit until
the Battery's temperature lowers to a safe level,
The Battery will then be charged auto-matically.
WHEN THE BATTERY PACK IS AT
LOW TEM-PERATURE
When the Battery pack is at low temperature, its
charging is automatically suspended until its
temperature increases (higher than 5°C (41°F)),
in order to protect it, even if it is set in the Charg-
er.
Leave the Battery pack at normal temperature in
the room for some time, and then, charge it
again.
WHEN THE ORANGE STANDBY
LIGHT BLINKS
This indicates the Battery cannot be charged.
Unplug the Charger and check the charging re-
ceptacle. If there are any foreign objects, remove
them with a soft dry cloth. If the orange light still
blinks or there are no foreign objects, there may
be a problem with the battery or charger. Return
to dealer for service.
3(Fig. H) Charge the Battery pack.
(1) Fully insert the Battery into the receptacle on
the Charger until it sits securely on the end.
(2) Charging will start automatically and will be
indicated by the red charging light with
beeps.
(3) Charging time is approximately 35 minutes
(90% capacity). This will vary by tempera-
ture and source voltage.
(4) For batteries those are at low temperatures
(10°C (50°F) or lower), charging time must
be extended longer. When charging at low
temperatures, both of the red and the or-
ange charging light will be lit.
4(Fig. I) When the battery pack has been
recharged, the "red" lamp turns off and
the "green" lamp blinks.
The "green" LED lamp(Fig. I 20) blinks
slowly and a long beep sounds for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. Now, the battery
has been recharged to approximately
90% of its capacity. Quick charging takes
approxi-mately 35 minutes (however, the
recharging time and capacity slightly
change depending on the ambient tem-
perature and power voltage).
(Fig. J) You can use the battery pack when
quick charging is complete. However, if you
leave the battery pack on the charger, re-
charging will continue. When the battery is
fully recharged (to 100% capacity), the
"green" LED lamp lights up (and a long beep
sounds for approximately 2 seconds).
(1) (Fig. K) After you have recharged the battery
pack, remove it from the charger.
(2) (Fig. L) Unplug the charger power cord from
the wall socket.

•When the battery pack is fully discharged,
do not leave it for a long time without re-
charging. If the fully discharged battery
pack is removed from the system and left
for a long time, the battery pack may be-
come damaged. Recharge the battery im-
mediately when it has been discharged.
•Do not leave the battery pack on the charg-
er. If the above is not observed, a weak cur-
rent will continue to flow and the battery
pack may become damaged. When re-
charging is complete, always remove the
battery pack from the charger.
BATTERY PACK BREAKDOWNS
If the following conditions occur, bring the Bat-
tery and Charger to your dealer.
•The red charging lamp does not flash when the
charger plug is inserted into main power
source outlet (When the Battery pack is not in-
serted in the charger.)
•Neither the red charging lamp nor the orange
standby lamp lights or flashes when the Bat-
tery pack is inserted in the charger.
•The orange standby lamp does not change to
the red charging lamp even after more than 1
hour.
•The red charging lamp does not change from
constant to flashing light even after more than
90 minutes. (except at low temperatures)
SERVICE LIFE OF BATTERY PACK
If any condition described below is observed, the
battery pack is at the end of its service life. Re-
place it with a new one.
•Although the battery pack has been properly
charged (fully charged), a great drop in tying
time has been noticed.
Do not charge the battery pack when this hap-
pens. If the motor's rotational speed slows down,
the power of the battery pack is considered to be
nearly depleted. Using the tool more will cause it
to overdischarge, resulting in a shortened serv-
ice life of the battery pack and also in functional
trouble of the tool's main body.
Do not use a battery pack when its service life
is finished.
This will cause functional trouble in the tool's
main body. Also charging a battery pack that
is out of service life will lead to functional trou-
ble in the battery charger.
RECYCLING A LI-ION BATTERY
The MAX battery pack uses a Li-ion battery, it
may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the
municipal waste system. Check with your local
solid waste officials for details in your area for re-
cycling options or proper disposal.
When disposing of the battery pack, make
sure to put a pack cap on its terminal (with in-
sulating tape securing it) to prevent short cir-
cuits.

to the for drilling.
For use in concrete, brick or stone, set the lever
to the for hammer-drilling.
7. Drilling in Metal or Wood
For use in Steel or Wood material, set the lever
to the for drilling.
1Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
2
Point the bit straight to the drilling object.
Do not apply excess pressure to the drill-
ing object. Applying excess pressure may
reduce working efficiency, as well as
shorten the lifetime of the tool and the bit.
3During the drilling operation, when the
tool is overloaded, the tool may automat-
ically stops operation. When this occur,
release the Trigger switch and pull the bit
out from the drilling object, then stop op-
eration.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the
tool.
•(Fig. X) When the LED lamp (Fig. X 8) lights

heated and automatically stopped due to
overload or continuous operation.
During the LED lamp lights with Red color, the
tool does not operate although the Trigger
switch is pulled.
Approximately one minute later, the LED lamp
goes off and the tool becomes operational
again. However, for the best performance of
the tool, continue operation after the tool is
cooled down sufficiently.
4When removing the bit from the drilling
object by operating the tool counter-
clockwise, hold the tool with both hands,
pull the bit out with operating the tool.
5To operate the tool at the best perform-
ance, when start drilling, point the bit
with pulling the Trigger switch slightly
(slow speed). As the drilled hole getting
deep, pull the Trigger switch more to in-
crease the speed.

ing object.
If the bit is not pointed straight to the ob-
ject, the bit may be caught in the drilled
hole, and it makes difficult to pull the bit
out from the hole.
Do not apply excess pressure to the ham-
mer-drilling object. Applying excess
pressure may reduce working efficiency,
as well as shorten the lifetime of the bit.
3During the deep hammer-drilling opera-
tion, if the operating speed slows down,
pull the bit slightly out from the hole, so
