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
overheat lamp of the charger lights up green. In such a
case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.
○ When the charge status flickers in red (at 0.2-seconds
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 UC18YRL/
UC18YFL 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.
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. 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.
NOTE
Due to HiKOKI's continuing program of research and
