NOTE: The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source voltage.
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.
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.
If the battery is recharged 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.

1.
Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle
Connecting the power cord will turn on the charger.
2.
Insert the battery into the charger
Insert the battery into the battery charger. Make sure it contacts the bottom of the battery charger (the pilot
lamp lights up).
CAUTION:
If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the power cord from the receptacle and check the battery
mounting condition.
About 60 minutes is 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.
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 power cord from the receptacle
4.
Hold the charger tight and pull out the battery
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.
OPERATION
1.
Using the light equipped hook
CAUTION:
Do not attach the tip tool to the tool main unit when carrying the tool main unit with the light equipped hook
suspended from a waist belt.
Such action could result in injury.
The light equipped hook has the following two functions:
It can be used as a hook for suspending from a waist belt when required by the nature of the work.
It can be used as an auxiliary light for such operations as tightening screws in a dark place.
1.1 Using the hook
The hook can be installed on the right or left side and the angle can be adjusted in 5 steps between 0° and 80°.
(1) Operating the hook
(a) Pull out the hook E toward you in the direction of arrow (A) and turn in the direction of arrow (B). (Fig. 5)
(b) The angle can be adjusted in 5 steps (0°, 20°, 40°, 60°, 80°).
Adjust the angle of the hook E to the desired position for use.
(2) Switching the hook position
