(2) Regarding the temperatures and charging time of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures and charging time will become as shown in Table 2.

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 (off 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 confi 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
Before use, check the following. 1 to 4 should be
checked before insert the battery.
CAUTION
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. Preparation and confi rmation of working environment.
Check and confi rm if the workplace is in proper
conditions as mentioned in the [GENERAL POWER
TOOLS SAFETY WARNINGS]; 1).
3. For safety sake, use the provided hexagonal bar wrench
to make absolutely sure that the hexagon socket bolt
is securely clamped. Use of the unit with the bolt in a
loosely clamped condition can result in damage to the
unit and cutter as well as accidents.
4. Confi rm that the cutter is in sharp condition.
Make certain that the cutter is in a sharp condition.
Continued use of a worn out and deformed cutter with
dull edges results in damage to the unit and cutter as
well as accidents.
