PRECAUTIONS FOR CHARGER

1. Always charge the battery at an ambient temperature

of 0–40°C. A temperature of less than 0°C will result in over charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot be charged at a temperature greater than 40°C. The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20–25°C.

2. Do not use the charger continuously.

When one charging is completed, leave the charger for about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.

3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for

connecting the rechargeable battery.

4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery or

5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.

Short-circuiting the battery will cause a great electric current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.

6. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re.

If the battery is burnt, it may explode.

7. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.

8. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was

purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted battery.

9. Do not insert objects into the air ventilation slots of the

charger. Inserting metal objects or fl ammable into the charger air ventilation slots will result in an electrical shock hazard or damage to the charger. SPECIFICATION Model UC18YGL2 Charging voltage 7.2 V – 18 V Weight 0.4 kg APPLICATION For charging the HiKOKI BATTERY 7.2 V – 18 V Cassette Lithium-ion, Super Nickel-Metal Hydride, Nickel-Metal Hydride and Nickel-Cadmium series. CHARGING Before using the power tool, charge the battery as follows.

1. Connect the charger’s power cord to the

receptacle. When connecting the plug of the charger to a receptacle, the pilot lamp will blink in red (At 1-second intervals).

2. Insert the battery into the charger.

Firmly insert the battery into the charger till it contacts the bottom of the charger and checking the polarities (Fig. 1). CAUTION If the batteries are inserted in the reverse direction, not only recharging will become impossible, but it may also cause problems in the charger such as a deformed recharging terminal.

When inserting a battery in the charger, the pilot lamp will light up continuously in red. When the battery becomes fully recharged, the pilot lamp will blink in red (At 1-second intervals). (See Table 1) 000BookUC18YGL2.indb9000BookUC18YGL2.indb9 2019/10/0517:23:402019/10/0517:23:4010 English Table 1 Indications of the pilot lamp Pilot lamp (red) Before charging Blinks Lights for 0.5 seconds.
