AC/DC ADAPTER SAFETY WARNINGS

  1. Please only use the professional power tools specifi ed in this manual and in HiKOKI catalogs. Failure to do so may result in accident, injury or malfunction.

  2. Do not place the box upside down.
    Prior to use, place the box LED side up.

  3. Please use the product properly.

  4. Always use the charger at the voltage specifi ed on the nameplate. Do not use with boosters or other types of transformers.
    Doing so could result in overheating or fi re.

  5. Do not use the adapter at temperatures less than – 10°C or at 35°C or higher.

  6. When the adapter is not in use or when being maintained and inspected, disconnect the power cord of the adapter from the receptacle.

  7. 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.

  8. Do not handle the adapter’s power plug with wet hands. Doing so may result in electric shock.

  9. Avoid dangerous environment. Don’t expose power tools and adapter to rain. Don’t use power tools and adapter in damp or wet locations. And keep work area well lit.

    Always contact the place of purchase for repairs. Repairing the adapter yourself could result in accident or injury.

  23. The product has built-in precision parts. Avoid dropping or infl icting strong impact.
    Doing so may cause malfunction.

  24. Make sure that the adapter is installed fi rmly. If it is as all loose it could come off and cause an accident.

  25. Periodically inspect the product.

  26. Do not use the product if the tool or the AC/DC adapter terminals (AC/DC adapter mount) are deformed. Installing the AC/DC adapter could cause a short circuit that could result in smoke emission or ignition.

  27. Keep the tool’s terminals (AC/DC adapter mount) free of swarf and dust.

    • Prior to use, make sure that swarf and dust have not collected in the area of the terminals.
    • During use, try to avoid swarf or dust on the tool from falling on the AC/DC adapter.
    • When suspending operation or after use, do not leave the tool in an area where it may be exposed to falling swarf or dust.
    • Doing so could cause a short circuit that could result in smoke emission or ignition.
  28. To prevent electric shock, connect to a power source equipped with a ground fault circuit breaker.

  29. Prior to use, make sure that the DC cord insulation is not torn or that the case is not cracked.
    Do not use the product if there is a break in the DC cord, the insulation is torn, or the case is damaged.

  30. Before starting operation, make sure that the vicinity of the box’s vent is free from any wood shavings or iron powder.
    Also, do not use in locations where iron powder is abundant, or in areas where there is rain, snow or other water sources that could wet the product.

  31. Make sure there are no solid metal material or liquid in the adapter box. Failure to do so may result in damage.

  32. Be careful not to step on the box. Also, make sure the box is placed in a location where it won’t be stepped on. Do not place in a location where the box could be immersed in water when it rains.

  33. The adapter, power supply box and the inside of the DC cord generates a boosted high voltage of 380 V so please be careful of the following.

    • Do not disassemble the product.

    • Do not drop or expose to impact.
      In the event the product is damaged from strong impact, do not use the product.

    • Do not use the product in areas exposed to rain, snow, iron powder or wet condition.

    • Do not touch the product with wet hands.

    • Do not spill or pour liquid onto the product.

    • Do not pull the cord with excessive force.

    • Use the product in a well-ordered work environment.

  34. When the temperature protective feature frequently cuts the power off , do not overload the machine with continued work, but let the machine rest for a little
    before continuing operation.

  35. The machine does get hot. However, this does not indicate an abnormality.
    Keep the electricity running and operate the internal fan to cool the machine before carrying it elsewhere.

  36. During use, do not pull the cord to move the Box. Doing so may result in damage.

  37. Do not use more that a single cord reel of 30 meters. Doing so may result in damage.

  38. During use, if the machine stops running after the Box’s LED lamp blinks, confi rm the power supply environment.

  39. Do not drag the cord when using or carrying the machine.
    Doing so may tear the cord insulation or break the cord which could result in electric shock.

  40. Do not stretch the cord out any more than required. When using tools such as gardening clippers or circular saws, always make sure of the power cord’s position to avoid cutting the cord during operation.

  41. To use the AC/DC adapter after it shuts down due to high temperature, disconnect the box’s power plug, wait for the LED lamp to go out and then reconnect the box’s power plug. If the machine cuts off even after sufficiently cooling it off with the built-in fan, discontinue use as there may be a problem with the machine.

  42. Do not use this product near a radio. Doing so could cause noise from the radio, making it diffi cult to listen to a broadcast.

  43. This is a power source for multi-volt products. Do not use with 18 V products or chargers. Doing so could result in damage.

  44. Overload behavior may diff er when compared with BSL36B18 battery use.
    With the battery where the LED should blink on the main unit, the LED on the AC/DC adapter may blink instead.

  45. Do not use this product near a pacemaker or other similar implanted device, which may be aff ected by a magnetic fi eld produced by this product.

PRECAUTIONS FOR AC/DC ADAPTER
The adapter equips with the protection function to stop the output. In the cases of 1 to 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. If the tool is overloaded, output may stop. In this case, release the switch of tool and eliminate causes of overloading.
  2. If the adapter is overheated under overload work, output may stop.
    In situations like this, discontinue use of the adapter and detach it from the tool. Allow the adapter to cool in a location such as a shaded area with good air circulation. After that, you can use it again.
