English
Too long hammering may cause the screw broken
due to excessive tightening.
3. Rotation to Impact changeover (See Fig. 5)
The "Rotation (Rotation only)" and "Impact (Impact
+ Rotation)" can be switched by aligning the drill
mark " " or the hammer mark " " with the triangle
mark on the outer body.
To make holes in the metal, wood or plastic, switch
to "Rotation (Rotation only)".
To make holes in bricks or concrete blocks, switch to
"Impact (Impact + Rotation)".
CAUTION
If an operation which is normally performed at the
"Rotation" setting is performed at "Impact "
setting,the effect of making holes does not only
increase but it may also damage the bit or other
parts.
4. Change rotation speed
Operate the shift knob to change the rotational speed.
Move the shift knob in the direction of the arrow (see
Figs. 7 and 8).
When the shift knob is set to "LOW", the drill rotates
at a low speed. When set to "HIGH", the drill rotates

CAUTION
The selection examples shown in Table 5 should be
considered as general standard. As different types of
tightening screws and different materials to be
tightened are used in actual works proper adjustments
are naturally necessary.
When using the impact driver drill with a machine
screw at HIGH (high speed), a screw may damage or

at a high speed.
CAUTION
When changing the rotational speed with the shift
knob, confirm that the switch is off.
Changing the speed while the motor is rotating will
damage the gears.
When setting the shift knob to "HIGH" (high speed)
and the position of the cap is bitween "16" and "22",
it may happen that the clutch does not engaged and
that the motor is locked. In such a case, please set the
shift knob to "LOW" (low speed).
If the motor is locked, immediately turn the power
off. If the motor is locked for a while, the motor or
battery may be burnt.
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips
with the protection function to stop the output.
Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the motor may
stop. However, this is not the trouble but the result of
protection function. In this case, release the switch of
tool and eliminate the causes of overloading.
5. The scope and suggestions for uses
The usable scope for various types of work based on
the mechanical structure of this unit is shown in
Table 4.
Suggestions
a bit may loose due to the tightning torque is too
strong. Use the impact driver drill at LOW (low speed)
when using a machine screw.
NOTE
The use of the battery EB1426H, EB1430H, EB1826HL,
EB1830HL and EBM1830 in a cold condition (below 0
degree Centigrade) can sometimes result in the
