NOTE
The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature and power source voltage.
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.
4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use,
and then keep it.

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
○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 charge indicator lamp of the charger lights
for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (offfor
0.3 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○When the charge indicator lamp flickers (at 0.2-second
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 confirm that the battery being charged with
UC18YSL3 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
WARNING
Pull out battery before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
When finished with a job, pull out the battery.

guide as necessary. (Fig. 15)
As shown in Fig. 16, securely attach the bottom of the
base ass’y to processed surface of the materials. Feed
the trimmer while keeping the guide plane on the surface
of the materials.
○By exchanging the straight guide with the guide holder,
the tool can be used for circle cutting work.
[Processing range (distance from the enter of rotation to
the center of the bit)]
Minimum: 84 mm
Maximum: 182 mm
Note that circles measuring 102 to 124 mm and 143 mm
to 158 mm cannot be processed.
Turn wing nut and remove the bolt and washers
(2 pieces).
Reverse the top and bottom of the straight guide and
attach it to the guide holder. (Fig. 17)
Depending on the radius of the circle to be processed,
the holes will vary for the wing nut and bolt.
Processing a circle with a radius of 84 to 102 mm
(Fig. 18-a)
Processing a circle with a radius of 124 to 182 mm
(Fig. 18-b)
Installation to the tool is the same as that for straight line
processing.

indicator lamp and LED light will also be switched off.
4. Dust Collector Set (Standard accessory) (Fig. 21)
Connect the dust collector set cleaner to collect dust.
(1) Slot the protrusion on the inside of the dust collector to
the positioning hole at the front lower left of the base
ass’y, and attach it to cover the front of the base ass’y.
(2) Using the included knob bolt (D) to secure the dust
collector hole to the body’s screw hole.
5. Connecting to a dust extractor (sold separately)
(Fig. 22)
Attach the hose that was included with your dust extractor
to the dust collector. The hose can be connected if its
inner diameter on the dust extractor side is 28 mm. For
other hose sizes (inner diameter of 32 mm, 35 mm, or
38 mm), a joint (C) is required.
6. Adjusting the rotation speed
The M1808DA has an electronic control system that
allows rotation speed changes.
As shown in Fig. 23, dial position “1” is for minimum
speed, and position “6” for maximum speed.

CAUTION
○Wear eye protection when operating this tool.
○Keep your hands, face and other body parts away from
the bits and any other rotating parts, while operating the
tool.
NOTE
○Do not press the lock pin while the motor is rotating.
Also, do not switch the tool on while pressing the lock
pin.
Doing so may damage the lock pin and/or shaft as well
as result in injury.
○Please limit the cutting depth of a single cut to under
5 mm.
○When cutting a deep groove, repeat the cut 2 or 3 times.
Deep cutting operations can make the tool difficult
to control and may overload the motor, resulting in
malfunction.
○Moving the tool forward fast may cause a poor quality
of cut, or damage to the bit or motor. Moving the tool
forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut.
The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kind
of workpiece and depth of cut. Before beginning the cut
on the actual workpiece, it is advisable to make a sample
cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will show exactly
how the cut will look as well as enable you to check
dimensions.
○Abnormalities and overloads will trigger the overload
protector, and stop operation. Remove the load
immediately, and turn the power off, then on. The
rotation speed should return to normal.
