APPLICATIONS
○ Driving and removing of machine screws, wood screws,
tapping screws, etc.
○ Drilling of various woods.
BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
1. Battery removal
Hold the handle tightly and push the battery latch to
remove the battery (see Figs. 1 and 2).
CAUTION:
Never short-circuit the battery.
2. Battery installation
Insert the battery while observing its polarities (see
Fig. 2).
CHARGING
Before using the power tool, charge the battery as follows.
1. Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle
2. Insert the battery in the charger
Position the battery so that the nameplate faces toward
the nameplate of the charger and press in the battery
until it comes into contact with the bottom plate (See
Fig. 3).
Inserting the battery 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 receptacle and check the battery
mounting condition.
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.
At that time cool the battery fi rst, then start charging.
○ Regarding recharging time
Table 1 shows the recharging time required according to
the type of battery.
Table 1 Recharging time (approx. min) at 20°C
Battery capacity (Ah)
BCL1015
NOTE: The recharging time may vary according to the
ambient temperature.
3. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle.
4. 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.

40 min
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 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 charger does not work while the battery
is mounted correctly, it is probable that the battery or
charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized
Service Center.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Setting up and checking the work environment
Check if the work environment is suitable by following the
precautions.

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. Automatic spindle-lock mechanism
When the main switch is off , the bit is locked in place, and
the tool can be used as a manual screwdriver.
4. Confi rm that the battery is mounted correctly
5. Confi rm the clutch dial position (See Fig. 5)
The tightening torque of this unit can be adjusted
according to the clutch dial position, at which the clutch
dial is set.
(1) When using this unit as a screwdriver, line up the one of
the numbers "1, 5, 9 ... 21" on the clutch dial, or the black
dots, with the triangle mark on the outer body.
