(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.

*1 How to use the LED light
NOTE
To prevent the battery power consumption caused
by forgetting to turn off the LED light, the light goes off
automatically in about 2 minutes.
*2 Tightening mode selector function
CAUTION
Select tightening mode while the trigger switch is
released. Failure to do so could result in malfunction.
By using the Tightening mode selector switch on the side
of the tool body, the tightening torque can be adjusted
according to the type of work.
The Tightening mode switches between 4 diff erent modes
each time the Tightening mode selector switch is pressed.
Normal mode allows screws to be tightened smoothly and
gently.
Under normal circumstances, use Normal mode.
Power mode is suitable for normal work that requires more
force, such as tightening long screws.
Use it when you feel that Normal mode lacks suffi cient
power.
Self-drilling screw mode is used for tightening self-
drilling Teks screws. This mode reduces the chances of
overtightening that could result in severing of the screw
head, breakage of the screw, or slippage.
NOTE
○ The appropriate mode diff ers depending on the screw
and the material being screwed. Drive in a few test
screws and adjust the mode setting accordingly.
2
○ The tightening mode selector switch can only be set after
2
the battery has been installed in the driver and the trigger
switch has been pulled once.

3
position.
CAUTION
3
○ If the guide sleeve does not return to its original position,
3
then the driver bit is not installed properly.

Make sure that the bit piece is inside of the hexagonal
4
hole in the main shaft, then install the driver bit. (Fig. 4)
