HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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
2. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
3. 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.
4. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
5. Electrical safety
6. 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.
7. 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
8. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Personal safety
13. 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.
14. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
18. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
19. 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.
20. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
21. Power tool use and care
22. 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.
23. 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.

CORDLESS DRILL / IMPACT DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

< DV3620DA>

1. Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. <D3613DA / DV3620DA>
2. Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3. Brace the tool properly before use. This tool produces a high output torque and without properly bracing the tool during operation, loss of control may occur resulting in personal injury.
4. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits

1. Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
2. Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
3. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Make sure that the area to be drilled is absolutely free of any hidden obstructions including electrical wiring, water, or gas pipes. Drilling into the aforementioned may result in electric shock or short circuit, gas leak or other hazards that can cause serious accidents or injuries.
2. Make sure to securely hold the tool during operation. Failure to do so can result in accidents or injuries (Fig. 2).
3. When using the tool, make sure the side handle is attached and firmly secured. If not firmly secured, the tool may jerk out of position when overburdened, resulting in injury.
4. During operation, make sure to firmly hold the tool’s handle and side handle with both hands. Failure to do so may result in injury.
5. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

ELECTRIC CLUTCH FUNCTION

This product is equipped with an electric clutch function that allows drilling without stopping the tool body even when a certain level of burden is encountered. When drilling, if a certain level of burden is encountered— such as when contact is made with rock fragments or rebar within concrete, or when the core bit cannot be kept perpendicular and its angle becomes tilted—the electric clutch function activates.

While the electric clutch function is activated, the motor starts and stops repeatedly, moving in small increments in an idle state. If the burden is not removed after a certain amount of time has passed, the function automatically stops.

Causes of burden
Coming in contact with rock fragments or rebar within concrete When drilling, the angle of the drill bit (core bit, etc.) becomes tilted Work that involves prying with the tool body, or applying excessive pressure Or some combination of these causes

If it activates…
When the electric clutch function is activated, lighten the burden such as by applying less pressure, and straighten the angle of the drill bit (core bit, etc.). For rock fragments within concrete, slightly pull out the tool body and press the bit tip into the rock fragments a little at a time in order to crush them while drilling. (Fig. 17)

REACTIVE FORCE CONTROL
This product features a reactive force control (RFC) to minimize the danger of twisting the operator’s arms when tool itself suddenly jerks during operation. When the tool bit is suddenly overburdened, the tool itself may react to the motor’s force and twist in the opposite direction of the motor’s rotation, which could result in injury. (Fig. 18)

When the tool’s built-in control detects a reactive force, it stops the motor’s output before the entire tool jerks to lessen the twisting of the operator’s arms. When this function activates, it will be indicated by switch panel light blinking (0.1-second blinks/off 0.5 seconds) while the switch is pulled. (See “Switch panel light warning signals”) However, as the function may not activate depending on situations or conditions during operation, so care should be taken to avoid any sudden overburdening of the tool bit when operating the tool.

• Possible causes of sudden overburdeningTool bit biting into material  Impact against nails, metal or other hard objects Tasks involving prying or any excess application of pressure, etc. Also, other causes include any combination of the aforementioned.
• When the reactive force control (RFC) is triggered When the RFC is triggered and the motor stops, turn off the tool’s switch and remove the cause of the
  overburdening before continuing operation.

SWITCH PANEL LIGHT WARNING SIGNALS (Fig. 19)

This product features functions that are designed to protect the tool itself as well as the battery. While the switch is pulled, if any of the safeguard functions are triggered during operation, the switch panel light will blink as described in Table 3. When any of the safeguard functions are triggered, immediately remove your fi nger from the switch and follow the instructions described under corrective action.

Table 3

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the tool
   Since use of as dull tool will degrade effi ciency and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
   Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not collected on the terminals. On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
   CAUTION: Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on the terminals. Failure to do so may result in malfunction.

5. Cleaning on the outside
   When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.

6. Storage
   Store the power tool and the battery in a place in which the temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
   NOTE: Storing lithium-ion batteries. Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully charged before storing them. Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with a low charge may result in performance deterioration, significantly reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable of holding a charge. However, significantly reduced battery usage time may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the batteries two to five times. If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.

CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the safety regulations and standards prescribed in each country must be observed.

Important notice on the batteries for the HiKOKI cordless power tools
