4. 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.
5.Remove the battery from the battery charger. Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger.
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.
●When the pilot lamp flikers rapidly in red (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 it to your authorized Service Center.
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.
OPERATION
1.Mounting the blade
This unit employs a detachable mechanism that enables mounting and removal of saw blades without the use of a wrench or other tools.
(1)Turn on and off the switching trigger several times so that the lever can jump out of the front cover completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch and remove the battery. (Fig. 6)
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. |
CAUTION
●When the battery charger has been continuosly 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.
●<For UC18YRSL>
If the battery is rechraged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp may light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.
●<For UC18YGSL>
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 for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds).
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.
Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off and the battery removed to prevent any accident.
(2)Push the lever in the direction of the arrow mark shown in Fig. 7 marked on the lever. (Fig. 7)

(3)Insert the saw blade all the way into the small slit of the plunger tip with the lever pushing. You can mount this blade either in the upward or downward direction. (Fig. 8, Fig. 9)
