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.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit.
  Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• 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.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
  Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
  Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Personal safety

• 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.

• 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.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off -position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• 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.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
  This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
  Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
  Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• 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 different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care

• 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.

• Use power tools only with specifi cally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• 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 fire.

• 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.

Service
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.

CORDLESS PLANER SAFETY WARNINGS

BSL1450, BSL1850| Approx. 75 min.

NOTE
The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source voltage.
CAUTION
When the battery charger has been continuously 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.

Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle. 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.

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.

CAUTION

1. 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 for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.
2. When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2-seconds intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.
3. Since the built-in microcomputer takes about 3 seconds to confirm that the battery being charged with UC18YFSL is 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.
4. If the pilot lamp does not blink in red (every second) even though the charger cord is connected to the power, it indicates that the protection circuit of the charger may be activated. Remove the cord from the power and then connect it again after 30 seconds or so. If this does not cause the pilot lamp to blink in red (every second), please take the charger to the HiKOKI Authorized Service Center.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Setting up and checking the work environment Check if the work environment is suitable by following the precautions.

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

3. Prepare a stable wooden workbench suitable for planning operations. As a poorly balanced workbench creates a hazard, ensure it is securely positioned on fi rm, level ground.

PLANNING PROCEDURES

1. Operation of the switch (Fig. 8)

2. For the safe operation of the machine, a “switch lock” is provided on the side of a handle.
   If the “switch trigger” is pulled in a state where the “switch lock” is pressed in the direction of the arrow mark, the main switch can be turned ON.

3. After the switch is turned ON, even when you release your hand from the switch lock, the body continues running and the light continues being turned ON as long as you keep on pulling the switch trigger.

4. If you release the switch trigger, you can turn OFF the switch and the “switch lock” returns to the original position automatically.
   CAUTION
   Do not fi x and secure the switch lock. Besides, keep your finger off the switch trigger when the planer is being carried around. Otherwise, the main body switch can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.

5. About the remaining battery indicator
   When pressing the remaining battery indicator switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights and the battery’s remaining power can be checked. (Fig. 9)

6. When releasing your finger from the remaining battery indicator switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp goes off. Table 4 shows the state of the remaining battery indicator lamp and the battery’s remaining power. As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat differently depending on ambient temperature and battery characteristics, read it as a reference.
   NOTE

   • Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break it. It may lead to trouble.
   • To save the battery power consumption, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights while pressing the remaining battery indicator switch.

7. Adjusting the cutter depth

8. Turn the knob in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 10 (clockwise), until the triangular mark is aligned with the desired cutting depth on the scale. The scale unit is graduated in millimeters.

9. The cutting depth can be adjusted within a range of 0-2.0 mm.

10. Surface cutting
    Rough cutting should be accomplished at large cutting depths and at a suitable speed so that shavings are smoothly ejected from the machine. To ensure a smoothly fi nished surface, fi nish cutting should be accomplished at small cutting depths and at low feeding speed.

11. Beginning and ending the cutting operation
    As shown in Fig. 11, place the front base of the planer on the material and support the planer horizontally. Turn ON the power switch, and slowly operate the planer toward the leading edge of the material. Firmly depress the front half of the planer at the fi rst stage of cutting, as shown in Fig. 12, depress the rear half of the planer at the end of the cutting operation. The planer must always be kept fl at throughout the entire cutting operation.

12. Precaution after fi nishing the planing operation When the planer is suspended with one hand after fi nishing the planing operation, ensure that the cutting blades (base) of the planer do not contact or come too near your body. Failure to do so could result in serious injury.

13. Stand
    Lift the back of the planer to extend the foot from the base. Having the stand extended when you put the planer down prevents contact between the blade and the material. (Fig. 13)

14. Regulating the guide (Fig. 14)
    The planning position can be regulated by moving the guide to the left or right after loosening its set screw. The guide may be mounted on either the right or left side of the tool.

Work Precautions

• About Continuous Operation
  This tool is provided with a protective function to extend battery life. The battery may become overheated during continuous operation or deep cutting operations, which may cause it to automatically stop. Especially with any of the batteries listed below, the tool may stop operation before the battery starts to get hot to prevent rapid failure from overheating. If this happens, stop operation, remove the battery from the tool and leave it in a well- ventilated location not exposed to sunlight until it is suffi ciently cool. The battery can be used again once it is cool. (Applicable batteries: BSL1425, BSL1420, BSL1415, BSL1825, BSL1820, BSL1815 and old batteries)

• Proper Battery Usage
  When the tool is used with any of the batteries listed below, it should be used for light work to extend battery life. Work example: Shallow depth fi nishing and chamfering work (Applicable batteries: BSL1425, BSL1420, BSL1415, BSL1825, BSL1820, BSL1815 and old batteries).

   Take care not to break the catch when attaching or detaching the dust adapter and chip cover.

4. Removing the dust adapter
   To remove the dust adapter, follow the procedure above in reverse order.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the blades
   Continued use of dull or damaged blades will result in reduced cutting efficiency and may cause overloading of the motor. Sharpen or replace the blades as often as necessary.

2. Handling
   CAUTION
   The front base, rear base, and cutting depth control knob are precisely machined to obtain specifi cally high precision. If these parts are roughly handled or subjected to heavy mechanical impact, it may cause deteriorated precision and reduced cutting performance. These parts must be handled with particular care.
   

3. 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 hazards.

4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 37)
   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 new one 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.
   NOTE
   When replacing the carbon brush with a new one, be sure to use the HiKOKI Carbon Brush Code No. 999017.

5. Replacing carbon brushes
   After removing the chip cover, take out the carbon brush by first removing the brush cap and then hooking the protrusion of the carbon brush with a slotted head screw driver, etc., as shown in Fig. 38. When installing the carbon brush, choose the direction so that the nail of the carbon brush agrees with the contact portion outside the brush tube. Then push it in with a finger as illustrated in Fig. 39. Lastly, install the brush cap.
   CAUTION
   Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon brush into the contact portion outside the brush tube. (You can insert whichever one of the two nails is provided.) Caution must be exercised since any error in this operation can result in the deformed nail of the carbon brush and may cause motor trouble at an early stage.

6. 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.

7. Cleaning on the outside
   When the planer 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.

8. Storage
   Store the planer in a place in which the temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
   NOTE
   Make sure that the battery is fully charged when stored for a long period (3 months or more). The battery with a smaller capacity may not be able to be charged when used if stored for a long period.
   NOTE
   Storing lithium-ion batteries Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully charged before storing them. Prolonged storage 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.

9. Service parts list
   CAUTION
   Repair, modifi cation and inspection of HiKOKI Power Tools must be carried out by a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center. This Parts List will be helpful if presented with the tool to the HiKOKI Authorized Service Center when requesting repair or other maintenance.
