(5) Light equipped hook (Patent applied for)
The light equipped hook has the following two functions:
It can be used as a hook for suspending from a waist belt when required by the nature of the work.
It can be used as an auxiliary light for such operations as tightening screws in a dark place.
Using as a hook
1
A hook is convenient if there is no place to put the impact driver temporarily. Although various kinds of hooks
are on the market, the standard accessory hook featuring the following is very convenient.
The hook can be quickly slid out and in when not needed.
The hook is mountable on either side to cope with the use by both right-handed and left-handed persons.
This hook can be mounted by using a flat-blade screwdriver or a coin.
The angle of the hook is adjustable in five steps between 0˚ and 80˚. The hook can be adjusted to the
optimum position according to the weight of the bit in use.
2 Using as an auxiliary light
When tightening screws in a dark place such as an attic or in the evening, it allows a clear view of the work
area by lighting. As the well-reputed one-touch hook doubles as a light, it does not become a hindrance to the
operation. In addition, lighting in a slant direction minimizes casting a shadow of the bit or the operator's hand.
Lighting function is usable at any time:
A switch exclusive to the light is provided.
The light is not glaring in the daytime. It can be lighted
without turning the bit.
Lighting in a slant direction:
It minimizes casting a shadow of the operator's hand when holding a screw.
Yellow LED: It is easy on the eyes and legible.
Automatic turning-off circuit is built in:
Even if the operator omitted turning off the light, it automatically turns off after
15 minutes. Two N-size 1.5-V manganese batteries come standard with the light.
Nominal life: 300 cycles of 3-minute operation (as a guide)
600 cycles of 3-minute operation when using two alkali batteries on the market (as a guide)
Refer to the Instruction Manual for replacement of the batteries.
This hook (battery type) is mountable on either side and the angle is easily adjustable.
