NOTE: The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature.

1. Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.

CAUTION:

Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord.

Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.

1. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery or adaptor of back pack power supply.

NOTE:

Be sure to pull out the battery or adaptor of back pack power supply from the charger after use, and then keep it.
When the back pack power supply is not in use, switch it OFF.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries or back pack power supplies, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries or back pack power supplies and batteries or back pack power supplies 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 or back pack power supplies 2 - 3 times.

How to make the batteries and back pack power supplies perform longer.

(1) Recharge the batteries and back pack power supplies before they become completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery and back pack power supplies. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery and back pack power supplies may be damaged and its life will become shorter.

(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery and back pack power supplies will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery and back pack power supplies are recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery and back pack power supplies life will be shortened. Leave the battery and back pack power supplies for a while, and recharge them after they have cooled.

CAUTION:

• If the battery and back pack power supplies are 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 and back pack power supply have 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, back pack power supply or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.
• Since the built-in microcomputer takes about 3 seconds to confirm that the battery and back pack power supply being charged with UC36YSL 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 and back pack power supply may not be properly charged.
• Do not block the ventilation holes with cloth or other materials while charging.

BEFORE USE

Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter.

Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate.
