CAUTION When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the

receptacle or cigarette lighter socket.

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. 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 pilot lamp of the charger lights up green or lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for

0.5 seconds). In such a case, fi rst let the battery cool,

then start charging. ○ When the pilot lamp fl ickers in red (at 0.2-seconds 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 confi rm that the battery being charged with UC18YML2 / UC18YFSL 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. ○ Check the voltage of the in-car power source when the pilot lamp fl ickers in green (every 0.2 seconds) continuously. (UC18YML2) If the voltage is 12V or lower, it indicates that the car battery has weakened and cannot be charged. ○ If the pilot lamp does not blink in red (every second) even though the charger cord or cigarette lighter connecting plug is connected to the power, it indicates that the protection circuit of the charger may be activated. Remove the cord or plug from the power and then connect it again after 30 seconds or so. If this does not cause the pilot lamp to blink in red (every second), please take the charger to the HiKOKI Authorized Service Center.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the socket

A worn or deformed hex. or a square-holed socket will not give an adequate tightness to the fi tting between the nut or anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tightening torque. Pay attention to wear of a socket holes periodically, and replace with a new one if needed.

2. 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.

3. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 7)

The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. Since and excessively worn carbon brush with new ones when it becomes worn to or near the “wear limit” ⓐ. In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely whithin the brush holders. NOTE When replacing the carbon brush with a new one, be sure to use the HiKOKI Carbon Brush Code No. 999100.

5. Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 7)

Take out the carbon brush by fi rst removing the brush cap and then hooking the protrusion of the carbon brush with a fl at head screw driver, etc. 0000BookWR18DSHL.indb70000BookWR18DSHL.indb7 2019/02/2017:03:422019/02/2017:03:428 English When installing the carbon brush, choose the direction so that the nail ⓑ of the carbon brush agrees with the contact portion ⓒ outside the brush tube. Then push it in with a fi nger. Lastly, install the brush cap. CAUTION Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon brush into the contact portion outside the brush tube. (You can insert whichever one of the two nails provided). Caution must be exercised since any error in this operation can result in the deformed nail of the carbon brush and may cause motor trouble at an early stage.
