GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

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 mains­operated (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 infl uence 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.

4

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 aff ect the power
toolsʼ 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 diff erent from

those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the

manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack

may create a risk of fi re when used with another
battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifi cally designated

battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and fi re.

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 fi re.

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 qualifi ed

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 IMPACT
DRIVER

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a

"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

2. This is portable tool for tightening and loosenig screws.
Use it only for these operation.

3. Use the earplugs if using for a long time.

4. One-hand operation is extremely dangerous; hold the
unit fi rmly with both hands when operating.

5. After installing the driver bit, pull lightly out the bit to make
sure that it does not come loose. If the bit is not installed
properly, it can come loose during use, which can be
dangerous.

6. Use the bit that matches the screw.

7. Tightening a screw with the impact driver at an angle to
that screw can damage the head of the screw and the
proper force will not be transmitted to the screw. Tighten
with this impact driver lined up straight with the screw.

8. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 0 – 40°C.

A temperature of less than 0°C will result in over charging

which is dangerous. The battery cannot be charged at a
temperature greater than 40°C.

The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20 –

25°C.

9. Do not use the charger continuously.

When one charging is completed, leave the charger for

about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.

10. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.

11. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.

12. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.

Short-circuiting the battery will cause a great electric

current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.

13. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re.

If the battery burnt, it may explode.

14. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the
charger.

Inserting metal objects or infl ammables into the charger

air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock hazard or
damaged charger.

15. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased
as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too
short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted
battery.

16. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.

(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as

shown in Table 2, and batteries that have become hot
should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

Table 2 Recharging ranges of batteries

Rechargeable batteries

BSL1815S 0°C – 50°C

(3) Regarding recharging time
Depending on the combination of the charger and

batteries, the charging time will become as shown in

Table 3.

Table 3 Charging time (At 20°C)

Battery
BSL1815S Approx. 35 min.

NOTE

The charging time may vary according to temperature

and power source voltage.

4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the
receptacle.

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.

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 fi rst 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.

battery can be recharged

UC18YKSL

(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

◯ 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).

In such a case, fi rst let the battery cool, then start

charging.

◯

When the pilot lamp fl ickers (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
UC18YKSL / 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.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

◯ Setting up and checking the work environment

Check if the work environment is suitable by the above

precautions.

HOW TO USE

1. Installing the bit

Always follow the following procedure to install driverbit.

(Fig. 4)

(1) Pull the guide sleeve forward.
(2) Insert the bit into the hexagonal hole in the socket.
(3) Release the guide sleeve and it returns to its original

position.

CAUTION

If the guide sleeve does not return to its original position,

then the bit is not installed properly.

2. Removing the bit

Please do the opposite point on the method of installing

bit.

3. Confi rm that the battery is mounted correctly

4. Check the rotational direction

The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) by

pushing the R-side of the selector button.

7

The L-side of the selector button is pushed to turn the bit

counterclockwise (See Fig. 5) (The
provided on the body).

5. 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.

6. Using the light

Pull the trigger switch to light up the light. The light keeps

on lighting while the trigger switch is being pulled. The
light goes out after releasing the trigger switch. (Fig. 6)

CAUTION

Do not look directly into the light. Such actions could

result in eye injury.

7. Tightening and loosening screws

Install the bit that matches the screw, line up the bit in the

grooves of the head of the screw, then tighten it.

Push the impact driver just enough to keep the bit fi tting

the head of the screw.

CAUTION

Applying the impact driver for too long tightens the screw

too much and can break it.

Tightening a screw with the impact driver at an angle to

that screw can damage the head of the screw and the
proper force will not be transmitted to the screw.

Tighten with this impact driver lined up straight with the

screw.

8. Tightening and loosening bolts

A hex. socket matching the bolt or nut must fi rst be

selected. Then mount the socket on the anvil, and grip
the nut to be tightened with the hex. socket.

Holding the wrench in line with the bolt, press the power

switch to impact the nut for several seconds.

If the nut is only loosely fi tted to the bolt, the bolt may turn

with the nut, therefore mistaking proper tightening. In this
case, stop impact on the nut and hold the bolt head with a
wrench before restarting impact, or manually tighten the
bolt and nut to prevent them slipping.

9. Using the hook(optional accessory)

The hook is used to hang up the power tool to your waist

belt while working.

CAUTION

◯ When using the hook, hang up the power tool fi rmly not to

drop accidentally.

If the power tool is dropped, it may lead to an accident.
◯ When carrying the power tool with hooked to your waist

belt, do not fi t any bit to the tip of power tool. If the sharp
bit such as drill is fi tted to the power tool when carrying it
with hooked to your waist belt, you will be injured.

◯ Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely

installed, it may cause an injury while using.

(1) Placing the hook and tightening the screws.
Install securely the hook in the groove of power tool and

tighten the screws to fi x the hook fi rmly. (Fig. 7)

(2) Removing the hook.
Remove the screws fi xing the hook with Philips screw

driver. (Fig. 8)

and marks are

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

1. Resting the unit after continuous work

After use for continuous bolt-tightening work, rest the

unit for 15 minutes or so when replacing the battery. The
temperature of the motor, switch, etc., will rise if the work

8

is started again immediately after battery replacement,
eventually resulting in burnout.

NOTE

Do not touch the metal parts, as it gets very hot during

continuous work.

2. Cautions on use of the speed control switch

This switch has a built-in, electronic circuit which

steplessly varies the rotation speed. Consequently,
when the switch trigger is pulled only slightly (low speed
rotation) and the motor is stopped while continuously
driving in screws, the components of the electronic circuit
parts may overheat and be damaged.

3. Use a tightening time suitable for the screw

The appropriate torque for a screw diff ers according to

the material and size of the screw, and the material being
screwed etc., so please use a tightening time suitable for
the screw. In particular, if a long tightening time is used in
the case of screws smaller than M8, there is a danger of
the screw breaking, so please confi rm the tightening time
and the tightening torque beforehand.

4. Work at a tightening torque suitable for the bolt
under impact

The optimum tightening torque for nuts or bolts diff ers

with material and size of the nuts or bolts. An excessively
large tightening torque for a small bolt may stretch
or break the bolt. The tightening torque increases in
proportion to the operaton time. Use the correct operating
time for the bolt.

5. Confi rm the tightening torque

The following factors contribute to a reduction of the

tightening torque. So confi rm the actual tightening torque
needed by screwing up some bolts before the job with
a hand torque wrench. Factors aff ecting the tightening
torque are as follows.

(1) Voltage
When the discharge margin is reached, voltage

decreases and tightening torque is lowered.

(2) Operating time
The tightening torque increases when the operating time

increases. But the tightening torque does not increase
above a certain value even if the tool is driven for a long
time.

(3) Diameter of bolt
The tightening torque diff ers with the diameter of the bolt.

Generally a larger diameter bolt requires larger tightening
torque.

(4) Tightening conditions
The tightening torque diff ers according to the torque ratio;

class, and length of bolts even when bolts with the same
size threads are used. The tightening torque also diff ers
according to the condition of the surface of workpiece
through which the bolts are to be tightened. When the
bolt and nut turn together, torque is greatly reduced.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the driver bit

Using a broken bit or one with a worn out tip is dangerous

because the bit can slip. Replace it.

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 may
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. Cleaning of the outside

When the impact driver is stained, wipe with a soft dry

cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use
chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, as they melt
plastics.

5. Storage

Store the impact driver in a place in which the temperature

is less than 40°C, and out of reach of children.

NOTE

Make sure that the battery is fully charged when stored

for a long period (3 months or more). The battery with
smaller capacity may not be able to be charged when
used, if stored for a long period.

NOTE

Storing Lithium-ion Batteries
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully

charged before storing them.

Prolonged storage of batteries with a low charge may

result in performance deterioration, signifi cantly reducing
battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable of
holding a charge.

However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may

be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.

If the battery usage time is extremely short despite

repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
