SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY RULES – FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Work Area

(1) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

(2) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust of fumes.

(3) Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical Safety

(1) A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be

recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.

A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when

used with another battery.

(2) Use battery operated tool only with specifically designed battery pack.

Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

(3) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from

an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace

damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal Safety

(1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep

your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

(3) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off position before inserting battery.

Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a

tool that have the switch on invites accidents.

(4) Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key

that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

(6) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

English

5

4. Tool Use and Care

(1) Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable

platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead

to loss of control.

(2) Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

(3) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

(4) Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

(5) Disconnect the battery or cord form the tool before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the tool accidentally (when used with power supply).

(6) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

(7) 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.

(8) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

(9) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any

other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

(10)Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used

on another tool.

5. Service

(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

(2) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to

follow Maintenance Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction

activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

● Lead from lead-based paints,

● Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of

work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and

work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to filter out microscopic particles.

English

(2) Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery

The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in the table below, and

batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

Table 3 Recharging of batteries that have become hot

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 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.

● 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.

● When the pilot lamp flickers 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.

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.

(2) Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery

The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in the table below, and

batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

Table 5 Recharging of batteries that have become hot

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:

● Repair is required if the receptacle is not secured properly or the power cord does not

stay in the receptacle. Consult your electrician. Using the charger in this condition

may lead to fire.

● If the charge status lamp is blinking orange rapidly (in 0.2 second intervals) and the

buzzer sounds intermittently for 5 seconds, check that the hole for connecting the

battery is not obstructed. Remove any obstructions. If no obstructions are found, the

battery or charger may be malfunctioned. Return both to your place of purchase.

● If the charge time lamp does not light when the power cord is connected to the

receptacle, disconnect the power cord, and check that the battery is attached correctly.

● The battery retains heat when used or left for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. In

this state, the charge time lamp flashes red, and the battery cannot be charged

immediately. Leave the battery inserted in the charger, and charging will commence

when the battery cools down.

● If the lamp goes out while charging, disconnect the power cord, and leave for 3 to 5

minutes before reconnecting. If the problem persists, call for repairs.

● Leave 5 minutes between charging batteries as the charger may overheat leading to

malfunction.

● The battery life is finished if it can only be used for short periods even when fully

charged. Purchase a new battery. Continuing to use a depleted battery may cause the

charger to malfunction.

NOTE:

䡬 Charging times may be longer depending on the surrounding temperature and battery

conditions.

䡬 Charge time lamp indications are only a guide, and may vary depending on the

surrounding temperature and battery conditions.

䡬 Remove the battery from the charger when not in use.

Revitalizing the battery (trickle recharge)

A new battery or a battery that has not been used for extensive periods may not charge

completely due to internal chemicals being inert.

Leave the battery inserted in the charger for 8 to 12 hours after charging is complete.

The charger automatically “revitalizes” the battery by trickle recharging.

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.

2. Insert the battery to the battery charger

Insert the battery into the battery charger as

shown in Fig. 8. Make sure it contacts the bot-

tom of the battery charger.

3. Charging

䡬 When the battery is connected to the battery charger, charging will commence and the

pilot lamp will light on.

NOTE: If the pilot lamp dose not light, pull out the plug from the receptacle and check if the

battery is properly mounted.

䡬 In approx. 50 min., when the battery is fully charged, the pilot lamp will go out.

NOTE: The battery charging time becomes longer when a temperature is low or the voltage

of the power source is too low.

When the pilot lamp does not go off even if more than four hour has passed after start

of the charging, stop the charging and contact your HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE

CENTER.

䡬 Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery.

The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in the table below, and

batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.
