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, fire, 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 the 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 flammable liquids, gases or dust.
   Power tools create sparks that may ignite 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.
   Unmodified 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 masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, 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 finger on the switch or energizing 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 jewelry. 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 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 tool
   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. 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.

CAUTION
Keep children and infi rm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and infirm persons.

CAUTIONS WHEN USING BLOWER

1. Use only the voltage shown on the nameplate to supply power. Using a voltage higher than shown will increase the rotation speed abnormally and can
   cause injuries.

2. Do not put your hands or face near the blower opening during use. Doing so might lead to injuries.

3. Remove this unit a safe distance away from electrical conductors when cleaning sections carrying electrical power such as the electrical panel.

4. Do not block the blower opening or intake. Blocking the blower opening will cause an increase in the motor rotation speed abnormally and might damage the vanes on the inner section of the unit or cause injuries. The motor might also overheat and cause a fi re.

5. Do not use in locations where inflammable materials such as lacquer, paint, benzene, thinner, or gasoline are present. Also, do not let items such as lighted cigarette butts be suctioned inside at such locations. Explosion or fi res might result.

6. Do not use in environments subject to heavy doses of chemicals, etc. Plastic sections such as the vanes on the inner section of the unit might weaken and break, and injuries might occur.

7. If you notice the unit is operating poorly or making abnormal noises, immediately stop using it and shut off the power switch. Request an inspection and repair from the dealer where you purchased the unit or a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center. Continuing to use while operating abnormally might cause injuries.

8. If the unit is mistakenly dropped or strikes another object, make a thorough check of the unit for cracks, breakage, or deformation, etc. Injuries might occur if the unit has cracks, breakage, or deformation.

9. Do not use near objects generating high heat such as stoves. Fires might occur if used near such locations.

10. Make a thorough inspection if using the blower to blow or clean viscous powder or dust particles. Powder or dust particles might be suctioned in and adhere internally, causing the vanes to break or injuries to occur.

11. Do not leave on locations such as benches or floors while still rotating. Injuries might occur.

SYMBOL

WARNING
The following show symbols used for the machine. Be sure that you understand their meaning before use.
To reduce the risk of injury, users must read instruction manual.

SPECIFICATIONS

STANDARD ACCESSORIES

In addition to the main unit (1 unit), the package contains the accessories listed in below.

APPLICATIONS

• Cleaning facilities and equipment in lumber mills, cigarette-making plants, spinning mills, etc.
• Cleaning devices and equipment in repair shops.
• Blowing operation.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
   Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specified on the product nameplate.

2. Power switch
   Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF positon. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately, which could cause a serious accident.

3. Extension cord
   When the work area is removed from the power source, use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.

4. Mount the nozzle and dust bag

MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE NOZZLE AND DUST BAG

1. Mounting the Nozzle
   Insert the pin located outside the nozzle into the notch provided on the blast port, and fully turn the nozzle in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1.
   To dismount the nozzle, follow the above procedures in reverse.
   

2. When using the Blower for dust collection
   (1) Mounting the Dust Bag
   Mount the dust bag on the blast port, following the same procedures described above for mounting of the nozzle (Fig. 2).
   (2) Mounting the Nozzle
   Insert the pin located on the outside of the nozzle into the notch provided on the suction port, and fully turn the nozzle in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 3.
   

HOW TO USE THE BLOWER

1. By pulling the trigger and pushing the stopper, the switch will remain in the ON position even when the trigger is released, promoting effi cient, continuous operation. By pulling the trigger again, the stopper is disengaged and the switch is turned OFF when the trigger is released.
2. An excessively large volume of dust in the dust bag will reduce the dust-collecting effi ciency of the blower. Frequently empty the dust bag to ensure maximum dust-collecting effi ciency.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. 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 could result in serious hazard.

2. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 4)
   The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon brush with a new one having the same carbon brush No. shown in the fi gure when it becomes worn to or near the “wear limit”. In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders.
   

3. Replacing carbon brushes
   Disassemble the brush cap with a screwdriver. The carbon brush can then be easily removed.

4. 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.
