NOTE
The recharging time may vary according to the ambient
temperature and power source voltage.
4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger
fi
rmly 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
fi
rst 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 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.
INSTALLING (REPLACING) SAW
CHAIN
WARNING
○
To prevent accidents, always switch the unit o
ff
, and
remove the storage battery.
○
Don't use the saw chain or the guide bar other than
those speci
fi
ed in “SPECIFICATIONS”.
CAUTION
Wear gloves and be careful to avoid injury with the saw
chain.
NOTE
○
When removing the saw chain, remove sawdust from
the oil spout, oil hole, and guide bar groove.
If sawdust accumulates, this may cause the unit to fail.
○
Use the correct type of saw chain in accordance with
the speci
fi
cations.
If you install the wrong type of guide bar, the saw chain
may come o
ff
and injury may occur.
1. Removing the side cover (Fig. 6)
1
Rotate the knob once to loosen it.
2
Rotate the tension dial half a turn to loosen it.
3
Using the supplied hexagonal bar wrench, loosen the
bolt until there is no resistance.
4
Turn the knob and remove the side cover.
2. Removing the saw chain and guide bar (Fig. 7)
Remove the saw chain and guide bar in the direction
indicated by the arrow.
