button.
The light illuminates with
very low current, and it
does not adversely affect
the performance of the tool
during use or its battery
capacity.
CAUTION:
• The built-in LED light is designed
to illuminate the small work area
temporarily.
• Do not use it as a substitute for a
regular flashlight, since it does not
have enough brightness.
• LED light turns off when the tool
has not been used for 5 minutes.
Caution: DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM.
Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.

• Avoid using the tool in a way that cau-
ses the overheating protection 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 overheating 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.
• 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.

Excessive (complete) discharging of
lithium ion batteries shortens their
service life dramatically. The driver
includes a battery protection feature
designed to prevent excessive
discharging of the battery pack.
• The battery protection feature
activates immediately before the
battery loses its charge, causing the
battery low warning lamp to flash.
• If you notice the battery low warning
lamp flashing, charge the battery
pack immediately.
