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

mains-operated (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.

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 tools 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.

8

English

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 ON USING CORDLESS

RECIPROCATING SAW

1. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 10 –

40°C. A temperature of less than 10°C will result in

over charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot

be charged at a temperature higher than 40°C.

The most suitable temperature for charging is that of

20 – 25°C.

2. Do not use the charger continuously.

When one charging is completed, leave the charger

for about 15 minutes before the next charging of

battery.

3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for

connecting the rechargeable battery.

4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and

charger.

5. 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.

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

If the battery is burnt, it may explode.

7. When using this unit continuously, the unit may

overheat, leading to damage in the motor and switch.

Please leave it without using it for approximately 15

minutes.

8. 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.

9. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.

10. Prior to cutting into walls, ceillings or ﬂ oors, ensure

there are no electric cables or conduits inside.

11. 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.

12. Wear earplugs to protect your ears during operation.

13. Do not touch the blade during or immediately after

operation. The blade becomes very hot during

operation and could cause serious burns.

14. Always hold the body handle and front cover of

the power tool ﬁ rmly. Otherwise the counterforce

produced may result in inaccurate and even

dangerous operation.

15. Remove the battery from tool or place the switch in the

locked or oﬀ position before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing the tools.

CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with

the protection function to stop the output.

In the cases of 1 and 2 described below, when using this

product, even if you are pulling the switch, the motor may

stop. This is not the trouble but the result of protection

function.

1. When the battery power remaining runs out (The battery

voltage drops to about 12V (CR18DL)), the motor stops.

In such case, charge it up immediately.

2. If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. In this

case, release the switch of tool and eliminate causes of

overloading. After that, you can use it again.

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.

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 up green. In such a case,

ﬁ rst let the battery cool, then start charging.

○ When the pilot lamp ﬂ ikers in red quickly (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.

○ Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3 seconds

to conﬁ rm that the battery being charged with UC24YFA

and UC18YRL are 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.

〈UC18YG〉

Before using the power tool, charge the battery as follows.

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 ﬁ rmly while observing its direction,

until it contacts the bottom of 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.

About 50 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.

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 120 minutes have elapsed after starting of the

charging, stop the charging and contact your HiKOKI

AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

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 ﬁ rst, 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 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.

(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.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Mounting the blade

This unit employs a detachable mechanism that

enables mounting and removal of saw blades without

the use of a wrench or other tools.

(1) Turn on and oﬀ the switching trigger several times so

that the lever can jump out of the front cover completely.

Thereafter, turn oﬀ the switch and remove the battery

(Fig. 6).

CAUTION

Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned oﬀ and the

battery removed to prevent any accident.

(2) Push the lever in the direction of the arrow mark shown

in Fig. 7 marked on the lever (Fig. 7).

(3) Insert the saw blade all the way into the small slit of

the plunger tip with the lever pushing. You can mount

this blade either in the upward or downward direction

(Fig. 8, Fig. 9).

(4) When you release the lever, the spring force will return

the lever to the correct position automatically (Fig. 10).

(5) Pull the back of the saw blade two or three times by hand

and check that the blade is securely mounted. When

pulling the blade, you will know it is properly mounted if

it clicks and the lever moves slightly (Fig. 11).

CAUTION

When pulling the saw blade, be absolutely sure to pull it

from the back. Pulling other parts of the blade will result

in an injury.

2. Dismounting the blade

(1) Turn on and oﬀ the switching trigger several times so

that the lever can jump out of the front cover completely.

Thereafter, turn oﬀ the switch and remove the battery

(Fig. 6).

CAUTION

Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned oﬀ and the

battery removed to prevent any accident.

(2) After you have pushed the lever in the direction of the

arrow mark shown in Fig. 7 and secured it, turn the

blade so it faces downward. The blade should fall out

by itself. If the blade doesn’t fall out, pull it out by hand.

CAUTION

Never touch the saw blade immediately after use. The

metal is hot and can easily burn your skin.

WHEN THE BLADE IS BROKEN

Even when the saw blade is broken and remains inside

the small slit of the plunger, it should fall out if you push

the lever in the direction of the arrow mark, and face the

blade downward. If it doesn’t fall out itself, take it out

using the procedures explained below.

(1) If a part of the broken saw blade is sticking out of the

small slit of the plunger, pull out the protruding part and

take the blade out.

(2) If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the small slit,

hook the broken blade using a tip of another saw blade

and take it out (Fig. 12).

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF SAW BLADE

MOUNT

(1) After use, blow away sawdust, earth, sand, moisture,

etc., with air or brush them away with a brush, etc., to

ensure that the blade mount can function smoothly.

(2) As shown in Fig. 13, carry out lubrication around the

blade holder on a periodic basis by use of cutting ﬂ uid,

etc.

NOTE

Continued use of the tool without cleaning and

lubricating the area where the saw blade is installed

can result in some slack movement of the lever

due to accumulated sawdust and chips. Under the

circumstances, pull a rubber cap provided on the lever

in the direction of an arrow mark as shown in Fig. 14

and remove the rubber cap from the lever. Then, clean

up the inside of the blade holder with air and the like and

carry out suﬃ cient lubrication.

The rubber cap can be ﬁ tted on if it is pressed ﬁ rmly

onto the lever. At this time, make certain that there

exists no clearance between the blade holder and

the rubber cap, and furthermore ensure that the saw-

blade-installed area can function smoothly.

CAUTION

Do not use any saw blade with a worn-out blade hole.

Otherwise, the saw blade can come oﬀ , resulting in

personal injury (Fig. 15).

3. Moving the base

Loosen the set screw and move the base forward, as

shown in Fig. 16, Fig. 17. Tighten the set screw slightly,

ensure the base does not move back and forth, and

ﬁ rmly tighten the set screw. Ensure that the base does

not contact the blade.

4. Conﬁ rm that the battery is mounted correctly

HOW TO USE

CAUTION

○ Do not carry tools with your ﬁ nger on the switch. A

sudden startup can result in an unexpected injury.

○ Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture, etc., enter

the inside of the machine through the plunger section

during operation. If sawdust and the like accumulate in

the plunger section, always clean it before use (refer to

Fig. 6).

○ Do not remove the front cover.

Be sure to hold the body from the top of the front cover

(refer to Fig. 6).

○ During use, press the base against the material while

cutting.

Vibration can damage the saw blade if the base is not

pressed ﬁ rmly against the workpiece.

Furthermore, a tip of the saw blade can sometimes

contact the inner wall of the pipe, damaging the saw

blade.

13

English

○ Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length.

Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the saw

blade after subtracting the stroke quantity should be

larger than the material (see Fig. 19 and Fig. 21).

If you cut a large pipe, large block of wood, etc., that

exceeds the cutting capacity of a blade; there is a risk

that the blade may contact with the inner wall of the

pipe, wood, etc., resulting in damage (Fig. 20, Fig. 22).

1. Switch operation

(1) Lock-oﬀ button

The tool is equipped with a lock-oﬀ button. To activate

the trigger lock, move the button to the right position.

Move the button to the left to operate the tool (Fig. 18).

Always lock the switch when carrying or storing the tool

eliminate unintentional starting.

(2) Trigger switch

This tool is equipped with a variable speed controlled

trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by

squeezing or releasing the trigger. The blade plunger

stroke rate can be adjusted from the minimum to

maximum nameplate stroke rate by the pressure you

apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase

the speed and release pressure to decrease speed.

2. Cutting metallic materials

CAUTION

○ Press the base ﬁ rmly against the workpiece.

○ Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade

when cutting. Doing so can easily break the blade.

○ The motor can be locked sometimes, depending

on the combination of the material to be cut and the

blade. Whenever the motor gets locked, switch it oﬀ

immediately.

(1) Fasten a workpiece ﬁ rmly before operation (Fig. 23).

(2) When cutting metallic materials, use proper machine

oil (turbine oil, etc.). When not using liquid machine oil,

apply grease over the workpiece.

CAUTION

The service life of the saw blade will be drastically

shortened if you don’t use machine oil.

3. Cutting lumber

When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece is

fastened ﬁ rmly before beginning (Fig. 24).

CAUTION

○ Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade

when cutting. Also remember to press the base against

the lumber ﬁ rmly.

4. Sawing curved lines

We recommend that you use the BI-METAL blade

mentioned in Table 4 (Page 14) for the saw blade since

it is tough and hardly breaks.

CAUTION

Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into

small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may

break the blade.

5. Plunge cutting

With this tool, you can perform plunge cutting on

plywood panels and thin board materials. You can

carry out pocket cutting quite easily with the saw blade

installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 26, Fig. 28,

and Fig. 30. Use the saw blade that is as short and

thick as possible. We recommend for this purpose that

you use BI-METAL Blade No. 132 mentioned in Page

14, Table 4. Be sure to use caution during the cutting

operation and observe the following procedures.

(1) Press the lower part (or the upper part) of the base

against the material. Pull the switch trigger while

keeping the tip of the saw blade apart from the material

(Fig. 25, Fig. 26).

(2) Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw blade

little by little (Fig. 27, Fig. 28).

(3) Hold the body ﬁ rmly until the saw blade completely cuts

into the material (Fig. 29, Fig. 30).

CAUTION

○ Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This can

easily damage the blade.

○ Never pull the switch trigger while the tip of the saw

blade is pressed against the material. If you do so, the

blade can easily be damaged when it collides with the

material.

○ Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly while holding

the body ﬁ rmly. If you apply any unreasonable force to

the saw blade during the cutting operation, the blade

can easily be damaged.

NOTE

The use of the battery EB1826HL and EB1830HL in

a cold condition (below 0 degree Centigrade) can

sometimes result in the weakened cutting torque and

reduced amount of work. This, however, is a temporary

phenomenon, and returns to normal when the battery

warms up.

SELECTION OF BLADES

To ensure maximum operating eﬃ ciency and results, it is

very important to select the appropriate blade best suited

to the type and thickness of the material to be cut.

NOTE

○ Dimensions of the workpiece mentioned in the table

represent the dimensions when the mounting position

of the base is set nearest to the body of the Cordless

Reciprocating Saw. Caution must be exercised since

dimensions of the workpiece will become smaller if the

base is mounted far away from the body of the Cordless

Reciprocating Saw.
