WARNING

VEDLIKEHOLD OG INSPEKSJON

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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 fl ammable 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.

Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools' operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

PRECAUTION

Keep children and infi rm persons away.

When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and infi rm persons.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CORDLESS DRIVER DRILL

(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	Temperatures at which the battery can be recharged
BCC912, BCC1212 0°C – 45°C

(2) Regarding recharging time

Depending on the combination of the charger and batteries, the charging time will become as shown in Table 2.

Table 2 Charging time (At 20°C)

Battery\Charger	UC18YK	UC12SF	UC9SF
BCC1212	Approx. 50 min.	Approx. 180 min. (Less than 0°C: Approx. 4 to 6 hours)	——
BCC912	Approx. 50 min.	——	Approx. 180 min. (Less than 0°C: Approx. 4 to 6 hours)

UC18YK:

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.

UC9SF or UC12SF:

Using the above times as a guide, remove the battery from the charger.

The battery set lamp goes off when the battery is removed from the charger.

When the temperature of the battery is low (less than 0^ C) or the voltage of the power source is low, the capacity of the battery after charging for 180 minutes is reduced. If the battery performance seems poor during practical use, charge for 4 to 6 hours.

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 first, then start charging.

3. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the receptacle

4. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery NOTE

After charging, pull out batteries from the charger first, 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 first 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

(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, 5, 9 ... 21” or the dots.
Do not use with the clutch dial numeral between "21" and the line at the middle of the drill mark. Doing so may cause damage (See Fig. 6).

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.

(2) Tightening torque indication

The tightening torque differs depending on the type of screw and the material being tightened.

The unit indicates the tightening torque with the numbers "1, 5, 9 ... 21" on the clutch dial, and a dots. The tightening torque at position "1" is the weakest and the torque is strongest at the highest number (See Fig. 5).

(3) Adjusting the tightening torque

Rotate the clutch dial and line up the numbers “1, 5, 9 ... 21” on the clutch dial, or the dots, with the triangle mark on the outer body. Adjust the clutch dial in the weak or the strong torque direction according to the torque you need.

CAUTION

☐ The motor rotation may be locked to cease while the unit is used as drill. While operating the driver drill, take care not to lock the motor.
☐ Too long hammering may cause the screw broken due to excessive tightening.

3. Change rotation speed

Operate the shift knob to change the rotational speed. Move the shift knob in the direction of the arrow (See Figs. 7 and 8).

When the shift knob is set to "LOW", the drill rotates at a low speed. When set to "HIGH", the drill rotates at a high speed.

CAUTION

○ When changing the rotational speed with the shift knob, confirm that the switch is off.
Changing the speed while the motor is rotating will damage the gears.
When setting the shift knob to "HIGH" (high speed) and the position of the clutch dial is "17" or "21", it may happen that the clutch does not engage and that the motor is locked. In such a case, please set the shift knob to "LOW" (low speed).
☐ If the motor is locked, immediately turn the power off. If the motor is locked for a while, the motor or battery may be burnt.

When using the driver drill with a machine screw at HIGH (high speed), a screw may damage or a bit may lose due to the tightening torque is too strong. Use the driver drill at LOW (low speed) when using a machine screw.

6. Mounting and dismounting of the bit

(1) After inserting a driver bit, etc. into the keyless drill chuck, firmly grasp the ring and tighten the sleeve by turning it toward the right (in the clockwise direction as viewed from the front) (See Fig. 9).
○ If the sleeve becomes loose during operation, tighten it further. The tightening force becomes stronger when the sleeve is tightened additionally.
(2) Dismounting the bit

Firmly grasp the ring and loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the counter-clockwise direction as viewed from the front) (See Fig. 9).

7. Confir rm that the battery is mounted correctly

8. Check the rotational direction

The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) by pushing the R-side of the selector button.

The L-side of the selector button is pushed to turn the bit counterclockwise (See Fig. 10) (The (L) and (R) marks are provided on the body).

9. Switch operation

○ When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates. When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
☐ The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by varying the amount that the trigger switch is pulled. Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.

NOTE

○ A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about to rotate; This is only a noise, not a machine failure.

10. Using the bit holder

CAUTION

○ Stow the bit in the specified location on the tool. If the tool is used with the bit stowed improperly, the bit may fall and cause bodily injury.
☐ Do not stow bits that are of a different length, gauge or dimension than the plus driver bit (65 mm long) included in the STANDARD ACCESSORIES.

The bit may fall and cause bodily injury.

(1) Removing the bit
Securely hold the main unit and pull out the bit by holding the tip with your thumb (Fig. 11).
