How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If
you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and
the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and
recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
○ If the battery is charged while it is heated because
it has been left for a long time in a location subject to
direct sunlight or because the battery has just been
used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights
for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (o ff for
0.3 seconds). In such a case, fi rst let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○ When the charge indicator lamp fl ickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in
the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service
Center.
○ Since the built-in micro computer takes about
3 seconds to con fi rm that the battery being charged with
UC18YSL3 is taken out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds
before reinserting it to continue charging. If the battery
is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery may not be
properly charged.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
WARNING
Pull out battery before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
When fi nished with a job, pull out the battery.
1. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the battery
installed to power tool while the switch is in the ON
position, the power tool will start operating immediately,
which could cause a serious accident.
2. Removing and inserting the battery (Fig. 2)
3. Remaining battery indicator (Fig. 4)
INSTALLING AND REMOVING BITS
WARNING
Be sure to switch power OFF and pull out the battery to
avoid serious trouble.
1. Installing bits
(1) Loosen the lock lever, raise the tool to the maximum
stroke position and return the lock lever to the tightening
position.
(2) Clean and insert shank of bit into the collet chuck until
shank bottoms, then back it out approximately 2 mm.
(3) With the bit inserted and pressing the lock pin holding
the shaft, use the 23 mm wrench to fi rmly tighten the
collet chunk in a clockwise direction (viewed from under
the router). ( Fig. 5 )
CAUTION
○ Ensure that the collet chuck is fi rmly tightened after
inserting a bit. Failure to do so will result in damage to
the collet chuck.
○ Ensure that the lock pin is not inserted into the shaft after
tightening the collet chuck. Failure to do so will result in
damage to the collet chuck, lock pin and shaft.
(4) When using the 8 mm or 1/4" diameter shank bit, replace
the equipped collet chuck with the one for 8 mm or 1/4"
diameter shank bit which is provided as the standard
accessory.
(5) Be sure to use a chuck sleeve when using a 6 mm bit
with a collet chuck capacity of 12 mm. First insert the
chuck sleeve deeply in the collet chuck, then insert the
bit in the chuck sleeve. Tighten the collet chuck fi rmly as
in step (1) and (2).
2. Removing bits
(1) Loosen the lock lever, raise the tool to the maximum
stroke position and return the lock lever to the tightening
position.
(2) Pressing the lock pin, loosen the collet chuck with the
included 23 mm wrench to pull out the bit. ( Fig. 6 )
CAUTION
Ensure that the lock pin is not inserted into the shaft after
tightening the collet chuck. Failure to do so will result in
damage to the collet chuck, lock pin and shaft.
HOW TO USE THE ROUTER
1. Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 7)
(1) Use stopper pole to adjust depth of cut.
Place the tool on a fl at wood surface.
Turn the stopper block so that section to which the cutting
depth setting screw on a stopper block is not attached
comes to the bottom of the stopper pole. Loosen pole
lock knob allowing the stopper pole to contact with
stopper block.
Loosen the lock lever and press the tool body until the bit
just touches the fl at surface. Tighten the lock lever at this
point. ( Fig. 8 )
Tighten pole lock knob. Align the depth indicator with the
“0” graduation of scale.
Loosen pole lock knob, and raise until indicator aligns
with the graduation representing the desired cutting
depth. Tighten pole lock knob.
Loosen the lock lever and press the tool body down until
the stopper block to obtain the desired cutting depth.
(2) As shown in Fig. 9 (a) , loosening the two nuts on the
threaded column and moving then down will allow you to
move down to the end position of the bit when the lock
lever is loosened. This is helpful when moving the router
to align the bit with the cutting position.
As shown in Fig. 9 (b) , tighten the upper and lower nuts
to secure the cutting depth.
(3) When you are not using the scale to set the cutting depth,
push up the stopper pole so that it is not in the way.
2. Stopper block (Fig. 10)
The 2 cut-depth setting screws attached to the stopper
block can be adjusted to simultaneously set 3 di ff erent
cutting depth. Use a wrench to tighten the nuts so that
the cut-depth setting screws do not come loose at this
time.
3. Guiding the router
WARNING
Be sure to switch power OFF and pull out the battery to
avoid serious trouble.
(1) Template Guide (Standard Accessory)
Use the template guide when employing a template
for producing a large quantity of identi fi cally shaped
products.
As shown in Fig. 11 , secure the template guide to the
base of the router with two accessory screws. At this
time, ensure that the projection side of the template
guide is facing the bottom surface of the base of the
router.
