(3) Regarding recharging time
Depending on the combination of the charger and
batteries, the charging time will become as shown in
Table 3.
Table 3 Charging time (At 20°C)
Charger
Battery
EB1220BL
EB1230HL
NOTE
The charging time may vary according to temperature
and power source voltage.
4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle
5. Hold the charger firmly 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 first 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 pilot lamp of the charger lights up green. In
such a case, first let the battery cool, then start
charging.
When the pilot lamp flikers in red quickly (at 0.2-
second intervals), check for and take out any foreign
objects in the charger's battery installation hole. 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 confirm that the battery being charged with
UC14YFA 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.

Approx. 70 min.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Preparing and checking the work environment
Make sure that the work site meets all the conditions
laid forth in the precautions.
2. Checking the battery
Make sure that the battery is installed firmly. If it is at
all loose it could come off and cause an accident.
3. Installing the bit
Always follow the following procedure to install bit
piece and driver bit (Fig. 4).
(1) Pull the guide sleeve back.
(2) Insert the bit piece and driver bit into the hexagonal
hole in the anvil.
(3) Release the guide sleeve and it returns to its original
position.
CAUTION
If the guide sleeve does not return to its original
position, then the bit is not installed properly.
This product also comes equipped with a bit piece.
Make sure that the bit piece is inside of the hexagonal
hole in the anvil, then install the bit (Fig. 5).

HOW TO USE

1. Check the rotational direction
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side)
by pushing the R-side of the push button.
The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the bit
counterclockwise (See Fig. 6) (The
are provided on the body).
CAUTION
The push button can not be switched while the impact
driver is turning. To switch the push button, stop the
impact driver, then set the push button.
2. Switch operation
When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates.
When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
The rotational speed can be controlled by varying the
amount that the trigger switch is pulled. Speed is low
when the trigger switch is pulled slightly and increases
as the trigger switch is pulled more.
3. Tightening and loosening screws
Install the bit that matches the screw, line up the bit
in the grooves of the head of the screw, then tighten
it.
Push the impact driver just enough to keep the bit
fitting the head of the screw.
CAUTION
Applying the impact driver for too long tightens the
screw too much and can break it.
Tightening a screw with the impact driver at an angle
to that screw can damage the head of the screw and
the proper force will not be transmitted to the screw.
Tighten with this impact driver lined up straight with
the screw.
4. Dial Adjustment
(1) This machine has a function for automatically stopping
the impact automatically with the dial setting shown
in Table 4.
In forward rotation, a dial setting of 1-9 activates the
automatic stop function, which will stop the impact.
If this dial setting is 10, operation continues until the
switch trigger is released.
