(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in the table below, and batteries that have
become hot should be cooled for a while before
being recharged.
Table 2
Recharging ranges of batteries
4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery
NOTE:
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after
use, and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an extended
period is not activated, the electric discharge might
be low when using them the first and second time.
This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time
required for recharging will be restored by recharging
the batteries 2 – 3 times.
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:
䡬
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 pilot lamp of the charger lights up green. In
such a case, first let the battery cool, then start
charging.
䡬
When the pilot lamp flikers in red quickly (at 0.2-
second intervals), check for and take out any foreign
objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If
there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the
battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
Authorized Service Center.
䡬
Since the built-in m icro com puter takes about 3
seconds to confirm that the battery being charged
with UC14YFA 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.

Before using the power tool, charge the battery as follows.
1. Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle
Connecting the power cord will turn on the charger.
2. Insert the battery into the charger
Insert the battery firmly while observing its direction,
until it contacts the bottom of the charger (the pilot
lamp lights up) (See
Fig. 4
).
CAUTION
If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the
power cord from the receptacle and check the
battery mounting condition.
