BATTERY
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
1.
Battery
removal
Hold the handle tightly and push the battery latch (2
pcs.) to remove the battery (see
Figs.
1
and
2
).
CAUTION
Never short-circuit the battery.
2.
Battery
installation
Insert the battery while observing its polarities (see
Fig.
2
).
CHARGING
Before using the driver drill, 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
fi
rmly while observing its direction,
until it contacts the bottom of the charger (See
Fig.
3
)
(the pilot lamp lights up).
CAUTION
If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the power
cord from the receptacle and check the battery
mounting condition.
(1) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in
Table
1
.
Table

Temperatures at
which the battery
can be recharged
BCC1412, BCC1812
0°C – 45°C
(2) Regarding recharging time
Depending on the combination of the charger and
batteries, the charging time will become as shown in
Table
2
.

UC18YK
BCC1812
Approx. 50 min.
BCC1412
Approx. 50 min.
The pilot lamp goes o
ff
to indicate that the battery is
fully charged.
The battery charging time becomes longer when a
temperature is low or the voltage of the power source
is too low.
CAUTION
If the battery is heated due to direct sunlight, etc.,
just after operation, the charger pilot lamp may not
light up. At that time, cool the battery
fi
rst, then start
charging.
3.
Disconnect
the
charger’s
power
cord
from
the
receptacle
4.
Hold
the
charger
fi
rmly
and
pull
out
the
battery
NOTE
After charging, pull out batteries from the charger
fi
rst,
and then keep the batteries properly.
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.
PRIOR
TO
OPERATION
1.
Setting
up
and
checking
the
work
environment
Check if the work environment is suitable by following
the precautions.
HOW
TO
USE
1.
Con
fi
rm
the
clutch
dial
position
(See
Fig.
4)
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.
5
).
2.
Tightening
torque
adjustment
(1) Tightening torque
Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity to
the screw diameter. When too strong torque is used,
the screw head may be broken or be injured. Be sure
to adjust the clutch dial position according to the screw
diameter.
