BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

1. Battery removal
Hold the handle tightly and push the battery latch (2
pcs.) to remove the battery (see Figs. 1 and 2).
CAUTION
Never short-circuit the battery.
2. Battery installation
Insert the battery while observing its polarities (see
Fig. 2).
CHARGING
Before using the driver drill, charge the battery as follows.
1. Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle
Connecting the power cord will turn on the charger.
2. Insert the battery into the charger
Insert the battery fi rmly while observing its direction,
until it contacts the bottom of the charger (See Fig. 3)
(the pilot lamp lights up).
CAUTION
If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the power
cord from the receptacle and check the battery
mounting condition.
(1) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in Table 1.
Table 1 Recharging ranges of batteries
Rechargeable batteries
BCC1412, BCC1812
(2) Regarding recharging time
Depending on the combination of the charger and
batteries, the charging time will become as shown in
Table 2.

The pilot lamp goes off to indicate that the battery is
fully charged.
The battery charging time becomes longer when a
temperature is low or the voltage of the power source
is too low.
Temperatures at
which the battery
can be recharged
0°C – 45°C

Approx. 50 min.
Approx. 50 min.
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 fi rst, then start
charging.
3. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle
4. Hold the charger fi rmly and pull out the battery
NOTE
After charging, pull out batteries from the charger fi rst,
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 fi rst 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.

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. Confi rm the clutch dial position (See Fig. 4)
The tightening torque of this unit can be adjusted
according to the clutch dial position, at which the clutch
dial is set.
(1) When using this unit as a screwdriver, line up the one
of the numbers "1, 3, 5 ... 22" on the clutch dial, or the
dots, with the triangle mark on the outer body.
(2) When using this unit as a drill, align the clutch dial drill
mark " " with the triangle mark on the outer body.
CAUTION
○ The clutch dial cannot be set between the numerals "1,
3, 5 ... 22" or the dots.
○ Do not use with the clutch dial numeral between "22"
and the line at the middle of the drill mark. Doing so
may cause damage (See Fig. 5).
2. Tightening torque adjustment
(1) Tightening torque
Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity to
the screw diameter. When too strong torque is used,
the screw head may be broken or be injured. Be sure
to adjust the clutch dial position according to the screw
diameter.
