GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and speciﬁ cations provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Charging time, approx. (At 20°C)

NOTE
The recharging time may vary according to the ambient 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
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 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.
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 charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (oﬀ for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, ﬁrst let the battery cool, then start charging.
When the charge indicator lamp ﬂickers (at 0.2-second 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 conﬁrm that the battery being charged with UC18YSL3 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.

SELECT OPERATION MODE

Pressing the changeover switch allows the selection of rotation speed and the auto stop function.

Rotation speed (Low mode/Normal mode) (Fig. 15)
Select either Low mode or Normal mode and operate the tool in the selected speed.
Auto stop mode (on/oﬀ ) (Fig. 16)
This product is equipped with an auto stop function to support continuous drilling work. The function features a memory mode for storing the work time for drilling from switch ON to switch OFF, and an auto stop mode that automatically stops the motor from the second drilling onward should the work exceed the stored work time while the switch is ON.

AUTO STOP FUNCTION

In selection mode, pressing the button for longer than two seconds will move to memory mode. (Fig. 16)
(At the same time the auto stop lamp will blink.)
Conduct drilling when the auto stop lamp is ﬂashing. The time between switching ON and switching OFF is stored by the tool.
(At the same time, the auto stop lamp will light up.)
Conduct drilling when the auto stop lamp is ﬂashing.
Continuous drilling is possible as the memory storage time will be recorded by the tool until the auto stop function’s auto stop mode is cancelled.
The auto stop function is cancelled by pressing the changeover switch once again for over two seconds.
(At the same time, the auto stop lamp will switch oﬀ .)
CAUTION

Switch ON the tool once you place the tip of the tool on the work material.
The rotation speed and the level at which the switch is pulled during drilling is not stored to memory.
Fully carry out drilling in one go during auto stop mode.
The motor will stop even if you switch OFF within the memory storage time.
When you switch OFF within the memory storage time, the count will be reset. If you rework a task in which a hole has been partially drilled, the memory storage time will be fully recounted.
The auto stop function will remain active until canceled.

REACTIVE FORCE CONTROL

This product is equipped with a Reactive Force Control (RFC) feature that reduces jerking of the tool body.
If the tool bit is suddenly overburdened, any jerking of the tool body is reduced by activation of the slip clutch or by stopping of the motor by the sensor built into the tool body.
If the motor is stopped because of overburdening detection by the controller, the RFC indicator lamp will blink while the switch is pulled. In addition, the lamp will continue blinking for approximately three seconds after the switch is released.
The motor will remain stopped while the lamp is blinking. (Fig. 23)
Because the RFC feature may not activate or its performance may be insuﬃ cient depending on the working environment and conditions, be careful not to suddenly overburden the tool bit while operating.
● Possible causes of sudden overburdening

Tool bit biting into material
Impact against nails, metal or other hard objects
Tasks involving prying or any excess application of pressure, etc.

Also, other causes include any combination of the aforementioned.
● When the reactive force control (RFC) is triggered
When the RFC is triggered and the motor stops, turn oﬀ the tool’s switch and remove the cause of the overburdening before continuing operation.

ABOUT THE PROTECTION FUNCTION

This tool has a built-in protection circuit for preventing damage to the unit in the event of an abnormality. Depending on the following, the display lamp and the indicator lamp will ﬂash, and the unit will cease to operate. Verify the problem indicated by the ﬂ ashing and take the necessary steps to correct the problem.
When pressing the changeover switch, do so when the switch is not being pulled. Table 3

Display lamp ﬂashing	Cause	Solution
Operation has ceased because the internal temperature has exceeded the

temperature limit.
(High temperature protection function)| Allow the unit to cool for 15 to 30 minutes.
When the temperature goes down and the display lamp and the
indicator lamp blinking stops, pull the switch trigger to recover
operation.

CAUTION
Using the tool when the battery is covered with concrete dust may lead to accidents such as the battery falling during use.
Furthermore, such use may cause a malfunction or contact failure between the battery and the terminals.
Storage
Store the power tool and battery in a place in which the temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.

NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with a low charge may result in performance deterioration, signiﬁ cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signiﬁ cantly reduced battery usage time may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the batteries two to ﬁ ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the safety regulations and standards prescribed in each country must be observed.
