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 first, then start charging.
3. Disconnect the charger power cord from the receptacle
4. Hold the charger tight and pull out the battery
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.
OPERATION
1. Using the light equipped hook
CAUTION:
●
Do not attach the tip tool to the tool main unit when carrying the tool main unit with the light equipped
hook suspended from a waist belt.
Such action could result in injury.
The light equipped hook has the following two functions:
It can be used as a hook for suspending from a waist belt when required by the nature of the work.
It can be used as an auxiliary light for such operations as tightening screws in a dark place.

Adjust the angle of the hook to the desired position for use.
(2) Switching the hook position
CAUTION:
●
If the tool falls, there is a risk that malfunction and/or physical damage
can occur. It is recommended that you also use fall-preventing wires,
etc.
●
Incomplete installation of the hook may result in bodily injury when
used.
(a) Securely hold the main unit and remove the screw using a slotted
head screwdriver or a coin. (Fig. 3)
(b) Remove the hook and spring. (Fig. 4)
