A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Usepersonalprotectiveequipment.Always
wear eyeprotection.
Protectiveequipmentsuchasdustmask,non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection usedfor appropriate conditions
will reducepersonalinjuries.
c} Preventunintentionalstarting.Ensurethe

topowersourceand/orbatterypack,picking
uporcarryingthetool.
Carryingpowertoolswith yourfinger on the
switch or energising powertools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Removeanyadjustingkeyorwrenchbefore

A wrenchor akeyleft attachedto a rotating
partofthe powertool mayresultin personal
injury.
e} Donotoverreach.Keepproperfootingand

Suchpreventivesafetymeasuresreducethe
riskofstarting the powertool accidentally.
d) Storeidle powertoolsout of the reachof
childrenanddonot allowpersonsunfamiliar
with thepowertoolortheseinstructionsto
operatethepowertool.
Powertools aredangerous in the handsof
untrainedusers.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignmentor bindingof moving parts,
breakageof partsand any othercondition
thatmayaffectthepowertool'soperation.
If damaged,have the powertool repaired
beforeuse.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained powertools.
f} Keepcuttingtoolssharpandclean.
Properlymaintainedcuttingtoolswith sharp
cutting edgesareless likelyto bind and are
easierto control.
g) Usethe powertool,accessoriesandtoolbits
etc. in accordancewith theseinstructions,
takingintoaccounttheworkingconditions
andtheworkto beperformed.
Useofthepowertool for operationsdifferent
from those intended could result in a
hazardoussituation.
5} Batterytooluseandcare
a) Rechargeonlywiththe chargerspecifiedby
themanufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when
usedwith another batterypack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designatedbatterypacks.
Useof any otherbatterypacksmaycreatea
riskof injury andfire.
c} Whenbatterypackisnotinuse,keepitaway
from other metal objectslike paperclips,
coins,keys, nails,screws,or other small
metal objects,that canmake aconnection
fromoneterminalto another.
Shortingthe batteryterminals together may
causeburnsor afire.
d) Under abusiveconditions,liquidmay be
ejectedfrom the battery;avoidcontact.If
contactaccidentallyoccurs,flushwithwater.
If liquid contactseyes, additionallyseek
medicalhelp.Liquid ejectedfrom thebattery
may causeirritation or burns.
6} Service
a) Haveyourpowertoolservicedbya qualified
repair person using only identical
replacementparts.
This will ensurethat the safetyof the power
tool ismaintained.
-WARNING-
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read
instructionmanual,
01Eng WH18DSDL US.p65 4 10/2/12, 2:38 PM
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other constructionactivities
containschemicalsknowntothe StateofCalifornia
to causecancer,birth defectsor otherreproductive
harm.Someexamplesofthesechemicalsare:
• Leadfrom lead-basedpaints,
• Crystallinesilicafrom bricksandcementandother
masonryproducts,and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from theseexposuresvaries,depending
on how often you do this type of work. Toreduce
your exposureto thesechemicals:work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
speciallydesignedtofilter out microscopicparticles.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS
1. Holdpowertoolsby insulatedgrippingsurfaces,
whenperforminganoperationwherethefastener
maycontacthiddenwiring.
Fastenerscontacting a "live" wire may make
exposedmetalpartsof the powertool "live" and
couldgive theoperator anelectric shock.
2. ALWAYSwearearprotectorswhenusingthetool
for extendedperiods.
Q Prolongedexposure to high intensity
noisecan causehearing loss.
3. NEVERplace handsor other body parts nearthe
drillbitorchuckduring operation.Holdthe impact
driver/wrenchby itshandleonly.
4. Because the cordless impact driver/wrench
operatesbybatterypower,beawareofthefactthat
it canbeginto operateatany time.
5. WhenworkingatelevatedIocations,clearthe area
of all other people and be aware of conditions
belowyou.
6. NEVERtouch moving parts.

handleis cracked.
Cracksin thetool's housingor handlecan leadto
electricshock.Suchtools shouldnotbe useduntil
repaired.
13. Bladesandaccessoriesmust besecurelymounted
to the tool.
Prevent potential injuries to yourself or others.
Blades,cutting implementsandaccessorieswhich
havebeenmounted to the tool should besecure
andtight.
14. NEVERusea tool which isdefectiveor operating
abnormally.
If the tool appears to be operating unusually,
making strange noises, or otherwise appears
defective,stop using it immediately andarrange
for repairsbyaHitachiauthorized servicecenter.

If the nut is only loosely fitted to the bolt, the bolt
may turn with the nut, therefore mistaking proper
tightening. In this case, stop impact on the nut and
hold the bolt head with a wrench before restarting
impact, or manually tighten the bolt and nut to
prevent them slipping.

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
1. Restingthe unit after continuouswork
After usefor continuous bolt-tightening work, rest
the unit for 15 minutes or so when replacingthe
battery. Thetemperatureofthe motor,switch,etc.,
will riseifthework isstartedagainimmediatelyafter
batteryreplacement,eventuallyresultinginburnout.
Ak CAUTION
Donot touchthe metalparts,asit getsvery hot
duringcontinuouswork.
2. Cautionson useof the speedcontrol switch
This switch has a built-in, electronic circuit which
steplesslyvariesthe rotationspeed.Consequently,
when the switchtrigger is pulledonly slightly (low
speed rotation) and the motor is stopped while
continuously driving in screws,the componentsof
the electronic circuit parts may overheat and be
damaged.
3. Usea tighteningtime suitablefor the screw
Theappropriatetorquefor a screwdiffersaccording
tothe materialandsizeofthescrew,andthematerial
beingscrewedetc.,so pleaseuseatightening time
suitable for the screw. In particular, if a long
tighteningtime isusedinthecaseofscrewssmaller
than 5/16"(8 mm), there is a dangerof the screw
breaking,sopleaseconfirm thetightening time and
the tightening torque beforehand.

4. Work at a tighteningtorque suitable for the bolt
underimpact
The optimum tightening torque for nuts or bolts
differswith materialand sizeof the nutsor bolts.
An excessivelylargetightening torque for a small
bolt may stretchor breakthe bolt. The tightening
torqueincreasesin proportiontotheoperationtime.
Usethe correctoperatingtime for the bolt.
5. Confirmthe tightening torque
Thefollowing factors contribute to a reduction of
the tightening torque. So confirm the actual
tighteningtorqueneededbyscrewingupsomebolts
beforethe job with ahandtorque wrench. Factors
affectingthe tightening torque areas follows.
(1)Voltage
When the discharge margin is reached, voltage
decreasesandtightening torque is lowered.
(2)Operatingtime
Thetighteningtorqueincreaseswhentheoperating
time increases.Butthe tightening torque does not
increaseabove a certain value even if the tool is
drivenfor a longtime.
(3)Diameterof bolt
Thetightening torque differs with the diameter of
the bolt. Generally a largerdiameter bolt requires
largertighteningtorque.
(4)Tightening conditions
Thetighteningtorquediffersaccordingtothe torque
ratio,class,andlengthof boltsevenwhenboltswith
the same size threads are used. The tightening
torquealsodiffersaccordingto the conditionof the
surfaceof workpiecethrough whichthe bolts areto
betightened. Whenthe bolt andnut turn together,
torque isgreatly reduced.
(5)Usingoptional parts(WR18DSDL)
Thetightening torque is reduceda little when an
extensionbar,universaljoint ora longsocketisused.
(6)Clearanceofthe socket(WR18DSDL)
Aworn or deformedhex. orasquare-holedsocket
will not give an adequatetightness to the fitting
betweenthe nut or anvil,consequentlyresulting in
lossof tightening torque.
Usinganimproper socketwhich doesnot matchto
the bolt will result in an insufficient tightening
torque.
(7)Tighteningtorquevaries,dependingon thebattery's
chargelevel.

Ak CAUTION:
Usingthis powertool with loosened screws is

Maintenanceof the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the
powertool.
Exercisedue careto ensure the winding doesnot
becomedamagedand/orwet with oil or water.
Inspectingthe carbonbrushes(Fig.14)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since and excessively worn
carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace
the carbon brush with newones when it becomes
