(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in Table 2, and batteries that have become hot
should be cooled for a while before being recharged.
Table 2 Recharging ranges of batteries
Rechargeable batteries
BSL3620
(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)

Battery
BSL3620
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 fi rmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
After operation, pull out batteries from the charger fi rst,
and then keep the batteries properly.
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,
fi rst let the battery cool, then start charging.
○ When the pilot lamp fl ickers in red (at 0.2-seconds
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 UC36YRSL 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.

ABOUT REMAINING BATTERY
INDICATOR
When pressing the remaining battery indicator switch, the
remaining battery indicator lamp lights and the battery
remaining power can be checked. (Fig. 6) When releasing
your fi nger from the remaining battery indicator switch, the
remaining battery indicator lamp goes off . The Table 5
shows the state of remaining battery indicator lamp and the
battery remaining power.
State of lamp
The battery remaining power is enough.
The battery remaining power is a half.
The battery remaining power is nearly
empty.
Re-charge the battery soonest possible.
As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat
diff erently depending on ambient temperature and battery
characteristics, read it as a reference.
NOTE
○ Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break it.
It may lead to a trouble.
○ To save the battery power consumption, the remaining
battery indicator lamp lights while pressing the remaining
battery indicator switch.
○ When using a back pack power supply (BL36200),
please check the battery level on the battery level display
of the back pack power battery.
For details, please see the BL36200 instruction manual.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

(1) Remove the M6 × 43 bolts (2 pcs.).
(2) Install the loop handle on the main pipe so that it leans
against the housing.
(3) Place the handle fi xture at the lower end of the main pipe
and secure it fi rmly using M6 × 43 bolts (2 pcs.) and M6
nuts (2 pcs.).
