CAUTION:

The UC9SD, UC12SD and UC14SD models are the exclusively designed chargers. These cannot charge batteries except the specified batteries. It is possible to insert the batteries other than the specified into the chargers and some of them may light up the pilot lamps. However, you are requested to exercise utmost caution not to charge batteries other than specified ones because these can not only be charged but also such actions can result in the malfunction of chargers.

○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.

1. Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle. Connecting the power cord will turn on the charger (the pilot lamp lights up).

CAUTION:

○If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the power cord from the AC outlet and check the battery mounting condition.

1. Charging

About 60 minutes are required to fully charge the battery at a temperature of about 20°C. The pilot

lamp goes off to indicate that the battery is fully charged.

The temperature for batteries (EB914, EB1214L, EB1414) is 10 – 40°C, and batteries that have become hot should be cooled for while before being recharged.

NOTE:

The battery charging time becomes longer when a temperature is low or the voltage of the power source is too low.

When the pilot lamp does not go off even if more than 120 minutes have elapsed after starting of the charging, stop the charging and contact your HITACHI authorized service center.

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.

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

2. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.

NOTE:

After operation, pull out batteries from the charger first, and then keep the batteries properly.

1. Connect the charger's power cord to a receptacle. When the power cord is connected, the charger's pilot lamp will blink in red. (At 1-second intervals.)

2. Insert the battery into the charger.

Position the battery so that the nameplate faces toward the caution plate of the charger and push in the battery until it contacts the bottom plate. (See Fig. 1 and 3)

CAUTION:

○If the battery is inserted in the reverse direction, not only recharging will become impossible, but it may also cause the fuse to blow, or problems in the charger such as deformed charging terminals.

1. Charging

When inserting a battery in the charger, charging will commence and the pilot lamp will light continuously in red.

When the battery is fully charged, the pilot lamp will blink in red. (At 1-second intervals.) (See Table 1)

○The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source voltage.
4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the rceptacle.
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.

NOTE:

○After operation, pull out batteries from the charger first, and then keep the batteries properly.

CAUTION:

○If the battery has been heated right after operation (or due to sunlight, etc.), the charger's pilot lamp may not light in red. In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.
When the pilot lamp flickers in red quickly (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger's battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take them to your HITACHI Authorized Service Center.

○Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3 seconds to confirm that the battery being charged with UC14YFA 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.

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 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

1. Confirm the cap position (see Fig. 4)

The tightening torque of this unit can be adjusted according to the cap position, at which the cap is set.

(1) When using this unit as a screwdriver, line up the one of the numbers "1, 3, 5 ... 22" on the cap, or the black dots, with the triangle mark on the outer body.
(2) When using this unit as a drill, align the cap drill mark “◀◀◀” with the triangle mark on the outer body.

CAUTION:

○ The cap cannot be set between the numbers "1, 3, 5 ... 22" or the black dots.
○Do not use with the cap set at the black line between the number "22" and the drill mark "◀◀◀". Doing so may cause damage. (See Fig. 5)

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 cap 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, 3, 5 ... 22" on the cap, and the black dots. The tightening torque at position "1" is the weakest and the torque is strongest at the highest number. (See Fig. 4)

(3) Adjusting the tightening torque

Rotate the cap and line up the numbers "1, 3, 5, ... 22" on the cap, or the black dots, with the triangle mark on the outer body. Adjust the cap 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. 6 and 7).

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 cap is "17" to "22", 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.

CAUTION:

The selection examples shown in Table 5 should be considered as general standard. As different types of tightening screws and different materials to be tightened are used in actual works proper adjustments are naturally necessary.
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. 8)
○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. 8)

CAUTION:

When it is no longer possible to loosen the sleeve, use a vise or similar instrument to secure the bit. Set the clutch mode between 1 and 11 and then turn the sleeve to the loose side (left side) while operating the clutch. It should be easy now to loosen the sleeve.

NOTE:

○There is a plus driver bit on side of the main unit. The bit can be removed by pulling it forward. After using the bit, make sure to firmly attach it to the main body again.

7. Confirm 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. 9). (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.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the tool

Since use of as dull tool will degrade efficiency and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.

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. Cleaning on the outside

When the driver drill is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.
