(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable
battery.
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in the table below, and betteries that have
become hot should be cooled for a while before
being recharged.

(3) Regarding recharging time
Depending on the combination of the charger and
batteries, the charging time will become as shown
in Table 3.

NOTE
The charging time may vary according to
temperature and power source voltage.
4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the AC
outlet.
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
After operation, pull out batteries from the charger
first, and then keep the batteries properly.
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 has been heated right after operation
(or due to sunlight, etc.), the charger's pilot lamp
may not light in red. In such a case, first let the
battery cool, then start charging.
When the pilot lamp flickers 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 Agent.
Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3
seconds to confirm that the battery being charged
with UC14YF / UC14YF2 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

1. Setting up and checking the work environment
Check if the work environment is suitable by
following the precautions.

HOW TO USE

1. Mounting and dismounting of the bit
(1) Mounting the bit
Slide the sleeve to the FREE (release) side.
Rotate the sleeve to the left (counterclockwise as
seen from the front) to open the clip on the keyless
chuck. (See Fig.4)
Insert the bit, for instance an item such as a
screwdriver into the keyless chuck and after
tightening the sleeve to the right (as viewed from
front), slide the sleeve to the LOCK side. (See Fig.
5)
CAUTION
Always slide the sleeve to the LOCK side before
attempting to use the drill.
(2) Dismounting the bit
Slide the sleeve to the FREE (release) side.
Rotate the sleeve to the left to loosen, and then
take out the bit. (See Fig. 4)
CAUTION
Never use excessive turning force while the sleeve
is set at the LOCK side. Doing so may damage the
keyless chuck.
NOTE
Loosening stuck or hard to move sleeves.
Grasp the bit installed in the keyless chuck, in a
vise or similar tool.
Slide the sleeve to the FREE (release) side.
Set the cap position to "1-3" and turn on the switch.
The motor then starts.
Finally, rotate the sleeve to the left, and it will
loosen.
2. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.
3. Check the rotational direction
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear
side) by pushing the R-side of the selector button.
