(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
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 UC18YTSL(S) 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.
HOW TO RECHARGE USB DEVICE
WARNING
○ Prior to use, check the connecting USB cable for any
defect or damage.
Using a defective or damaged USB cable can cause
smoke emission or ignition.
○ Use a connecting USB cable of less than 2 m.
○ When the product is not being used, cover the USB
port with the rubber cover.
Buildup of dust etc. in the USB port can cause smoke
emission or ignition.
NOTE
○ The time required for charging will be longer when a
USB device and battery are being simultaneously
charged.
○ There may be an occasional pause during USB
recharging.
○ When a USB device is not being charged, remove the
USB device from the charger.
Failure to do so may not only reduce the battery life
of a USB device, but may also result in unexpected
accidents.
○ It may not be possible to charge some USB devices,
depending on the type of device.
○ The USB charging current should not exceed a total of
2 A for the two USB charging ports.
Doing so may cause the charger to malfunction.
(1) Select a charging method
Depending on the charge method selected, either the
battery is inserted into the charger or the power cord
is plugged into an outlet.
○ Charging a USB device from a electrical outlet
(Fig. 5-a)
○ Charging a USB device and battery from a
electrical outlet (Fig. 5-b)
(2) Connect the USB cable. (Fig. 6)
Pull back the rubber cover and fi rmly plug in a
commercially available USB cable (appropriate to the
device being charged) into the USB port.
(3) When charging is completed (Fig. 7)
○ To verify charge status, check the USB device.
○ Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
○ Place the rubber cover over the USB port.

USING AS AN AC POWER SUPPLY
The product includes a convenient AC outlet for use as a
power supply for AC devices. (Current capacity is 8 A.)
AC devices can be used by plugging them into the AC
outlet on the charger with the charger power supply plug
plugged into an electrical outlet. (Fig. 8)
WARNING
Grounded plugs cannot be used with the charger.
Note that devices that require grounding pose the risk
of electric shock.
Check the individual device before use.
NOTE
○ AC devices connected to the charger should not
(at
exceed 8 A.
Doing so may cause the charger to malfunction.
Read the instruction manual carefully for the device to
be used, and check the current rating before use.
○ Make sure the charger power supply plug is plugged
into an electrical outlet while using an AC device.
(1) Select usage confi guration
○ Using an AC device with power supplied from an
electrical outlet. (Fig. 9-a)
○ Using an AC device and charging a battery with
power supplied from an electrical outlet. (Fig. 9-b)
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
2. Cleaning of the charger
When the charger is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use
chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt
plastics.
3. Transportation after use
WARNING
Detach any batteries from the charger before
transporting.
Damages or injuries may occur if the batteries fall off .
(Fig. 10)
A carrying handle is provided for easy carrying after
use. The handle can be stowed in the main unit for
compactness when not in use. (Fig. 11)
4. Store idle charger
When not in use, the charger should be stored in dry,
high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
