(2) Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in the
Table 2
, and batteries that have become
hot should be cooled for a while before being
recharged.
(3) Regarding recharging time
Table 3
shows the recharging time required according
to the type of battery.
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
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 for 1 second,
does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds). In
such a case, first let the battery cool, then start
charging.
When the pilot lamp flickers (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 confirm that the battery being charged
with UC18YGSL 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
Setting up and checking the work environment
Check if the work environment is suitable by following
the precautions.
HOW TO USE
1. Confirm the clutch dial position (See Fig. 7)
The tightening torque of this unit can be adjusted
according to the clutch dial position, at which the
clutch dial is set.
(1) When using this unit as a screwdriver, line up the one
of the numbers “1, 3, 5 ... 22” on the clutch dial, or
the dots, with the triangle mark on the outer body.
(2) When using this unit as a drill, align the clutch dial
drill mark “
” with the triangle mark on the outer
body.
CAUTION:
The clutch dial cannot be set between the numerals
“1, 3, 5 ... 22” or the dots.
Do not use with the clutch dial
numeral between
“22” and the line at the middle of the drill mark.
Doing so may cause damage. (See
Fig. 8
)
Battery overheated.
Unable to charge.
(Charging will commence
when battery cools)
