This tool, as a complete unit with a battery
pack, satisfies appropriate IP Degrees of
Protection based on the IEC regulations.
I. INTENDED USE
This tool is a Rotary Hammer for
drilling in concrete. In addition, the
has a “rotation only mode” without
hammering. The mode is suitable for
drilling and screw-fastening.
Read “Safety Instructions” booklet
and the following before using.
II. ADDITIONAL
SAFETY RULES
1) Wear ear protection. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handle (support
handle) supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
2) Hold power tools by insulated
gripping surfaces when per-
forming an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring; contact with a “live” wire
will make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the opera-
tor.
3) Wear a dust mask, if the work
causes dust.
4) Be aware that this tool is always
in an operating condition, since it
does not have to be plugged into
an electrical outlet.
5) If the bit becomes jammed, im-
mediately turn the main switch off
to prevent an overload which can
damage the battery pack or mo-
tor. Use reverse motion to loosen
jammed bits.
6) Do not operate the Forward/Reverse
lever when the main switch is on. The
battery will discharge rapidly and
damage to the unit may occur.
7) Use only a dry, soft cloth for
wiping the unit. Do not use a damp
cloth, thinner, benzine, or other
volatile solvents for cleaning.
8) When storing or carrying the tool, set
the Forward/Reverse lever to the
center position (switch lock).
9) Do not strain the tool by holding the
speed control trigger halfway (speed
control mode) so that the motor
stops. The protection circuit will ac-
tivate and may prevent speed con-
trol operation. If this happens, re-
lease the speed control trigger and
squeeze again for normal operation.

10) Be careful not to get dust inside the
chuck.
11) Do not touch the rotating parts to
avoid injury.
12) Do not continue to use the tool for
a long time. Stop using the tool
from time to time to avoid that the
temperature of the motor rises too
high.
13) Do not drop the tool.
14) Do not put the tool on the place
where the chuck is depressed. The
bit may come off from the chuck
and fall down when the chuck is
depressed. It may cause injuries.

(3) Battery low warning lamp
Excessive (complete) discharging of
lithium ion batteries shortens their
service life dramatically. The driver
includes a battery protection feature
designed to prevent excessive dis-
charging of the battery pack.
• The battery protection feature ac-
tivates immediately before the
battery loses its charge, causing
the battery low warning lamp to
flash.
• If you notice the battery low warn-
ing lamp flashing, charge the bat-
tery pack immediately.
• If it is started with too little battery
power remaining, the tool may stop
operating without the battery low
warning lamp flashing first. This
indicates that there is too little bat-
tery power remaining to use the
tool, and the battery pack should
be charged before further use.
• If the tool is subject to a sudden
load during use that causes the
motor to lock up, the overdischarge
prevention sensor may be trig-
gered, and the battery low warning
lamp may flash. The lamp will stop
flashing once you address the
cause of the motor’s locking up and
cycle the trigger.
• The battery protection feature may
activate when a high load is ab-
ruptly placed on the motor, even if
ample battery charge remains. In
this case, both the battery low
warning lamp and LED light will
flash. (EY78A1)

● If the overheating protection
feature activates, allow the
tool to cool thoroughly (at
least 30 minutes). The tool is
ready for use when the overheat
warning lamp goes out.
● Avoid using the tool in a way that
causes the overheating protec-
tion feature to activate repeatedly.
● If the tool is operated continuously
under high-load conditions or if it is
used in hot-temperature conditions
(such as during summer), the
overheating protection feature may
activate frequently.
● If the tool is used in cold-
temperature conditions (such as
during winter) or if it is frequently
stopped during use, the overheat-
ing protection feature may not
activate.
● The performance of the EY9L42
deteriorates significantly at and
below 10°C due to work conditions
and other factors.
● The ambient temperature range is
between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C
(104°F). If the battery pack is used
when the battery temperature is
below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail
to function properly.
●Use the charger at temperatures
between 0°C and 40°C, and
charge the battery at a tempera-
ture similar to that of the battery
itself. (There should be no more
than a 15°C difference between
the temperatures of the battery
and the charging location.)

• If both the battery low warning lamp
and LED light flash, reduce the force
with which you are pushing on the
driver or, if using a drill driver, adjust
the speed switch to a lower setting.

substances such as dust and water
etc. Clean the terminals before
charging the battery pack if any for-
eign substances are found on the
terminals.
The life of the battery pack terminals
may be affected by foreign sub-
stances such as dust and water etc.
during operation.
• 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 sparks, burns or a fire.
• When operating the battery pack,
make sure the work place is well ven-
tilated.
• When the battery pack is removed
from the main body of the tool, replace
the battery pack cover immediately in
order to prevent dust or dirt from con-
taminating the battery terminals and
causing a short circuit.
Battery Pack Life
The rechargeable batteries have a
limited life. If the operation time be-
comes extremely short after recharg-
ing, replace the battery pack with a
new one.
Battery Recycling
ATTENTION:
For environmental protection and
recycling of materials, be sure that
it is disposed of at an officially as-
signed location, if there is one in
your country.
[Battery Charger]
Charging
Cautions
• If the temperature of the battery
pack falls approximately below
−10°C (14°F), charging will auto-
matically stop to prevent degrada-
tion of the battery.
• The ambient temperature range is be-
tween 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the
battery temperature is below 0°C
(32°F), the tool may fail to function
properly.
• Use the charger at temperatures be-
tween 0°C and 40°C, and charge the
battery at a temperature similar to that
of the battery itself. (There should be
no more than a 15°C difference be-
tween the temperatures of the battery
and the charging location.)
• When charging a cool battery pack
(below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place,
leave the battery pack at the place
and wait for more than one hour to
warm up the battery to the level of
the ambient temperature.
• Cool down the charger when
charging more than two battery
packs consecutively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact
hole, when holding charger or any
other occasions.
Storage
Do not store the dust collection cup
in a compressed position. If kept in
a compressed position, it may be
impossible to return to the original
shape.

V. MAINTENANCE
• Use only a dry, soft cloth for wiping the unit. Do not use a damp cloth, thinner, ben-
zine, or other volatile solvents for cleaning.
• In the event that the inside of the tool or battery pack is exposed to water, drain and
allow to dry as soon as possible. Carefully remove any dust or iron filings that col-lect
inside the tool. If you experience any problems operating the tool, consult with a repair
shop.
VI. ACCESSORIES
CAUTION:
To prevent the risk of injury, only use accessory or attachment for its stated purpose.
Bit adapter (included)
•EY9HX403E
Drill chuck (Optional accessory)
•EY9HX400E
Use with wood drill bit or metal drill bit with shank of 1.5 mm to 13 mm diameter.
Do not use the drill chuck in “Rotation with hammering mode” ( ). Use in "Rotation
with hammering mode" may cause break of chuck or bit and result in injury.
Hammer chuck (Optional accessory)
•EY9HX401E
Use with concrete drill bit, wood drill bit or metal drill bit with straight shank of 2.5 mm
to 13 mm diameter.
Do not use the hammer chuck with wood drill bit or metal drill bit in “Rotation with
hammering mode” ( ). Use in “Rotation with hammering mode” may cause break
of bit and result in injury.
If you need any assistance for more details regarding these accessories, ask your
local service center.
VII. USAGE SUGGESTION
1. If there isn’t enough force pushing down on the bit, the tool may not be able to
blow in hammering mode.
This is to prevent the hammering mode from operating with no load. Press down
harder on the bit to engage the tool and cause it to blow.
2. In winter or in other situations where the temperature of the unit is low (5°C (41°F)
or below), the blow of the hammering mode may be weaker than normal at the be-
ginning stage.
This is because the grease becomes stiffer in low temperatures, increasing fric-
tion.
If this should happen, operating hammering mode with no load for approximately
30 seconds and repeat this 3 times. This will restore its blowing power.
