5. Do not dispose of the battery in fire. If the battery is burnt, it may explode.

6. 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.

7. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the charger. Inserting metal objects or inflammables into the charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock hazard or damaged charger.

8. When using this unit continuously, the unit may overheat, leading to damage in the motor and switch. Therefore, whenever the housing becomes hot, give the saw a break for a while.

9. If the machine is used continuously at low speed, an extra load is applied to the motor which can result in motor seizure. Always operate the power tool so that the blade is not caught by the material during operation. Always adjust the blade speed to enable smooth cutting.

10. Always hold the body handle and front cover of the power tool firmly. Otherwise the counterforce produced may result in inaccurate and even dangerous operation.

11. Mounting and dismounting the blade

    • 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. 7)
    • 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.
    • Never touch the saw blade immediately after use. The metal is hot and can easily burn your skin.
    • f 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. 8)
    • qAfter 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.
    • Do not use any saw blade with a worn-out blade hole. Otherwise, the saw blade can come off, resulting in personal injury.

12. Make sure that the battery is installed firmly. If it is at all loose it could come off and cause an accident.

13. Do not fix and secure the switch lock. Besides, keep your finger off the switch trigger when the tool is being carried around. Otherwise, the main body switch can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.

14. 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.

15. Do not remove the front cover which will cause in an injury.  Be sure to hold the body from the top of the front cover.

16. During use, press the base firmly against the workpiece.

17. 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.
    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. 10)

18. Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade when cutting. Doing so can easily break the blade.

19. 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.

20. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. (Fig. 11) Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

21. When cutting metallic materials, use an appropriate cutting fluid (spindle oil, soapy water, etc.) to prolong the bladeʼs service life.

22. Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may break the blade.

23. Plunge cutting

    • Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This can easily damage the blade.
    • Never pull the switch trigger while the tip of the saw blade tip 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 firmly. If you apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade during the cutting operation, the blade can easily be damaged.

24. Keep the light ON during cutting operation only. If it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.

25. Do not expose directly your eye to the light by looking into the light. If your eye is continuously exposed to the light, your eye will be hurt.

26. Never touch moving parts. Never place your hands, fingers or other body parts near the tool’s moving parts.

Regarding the temperatures and charging time of the rechargeable battery The temperatures and charging time will become as shown in Table 2.

NOTE

The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature and power source voltage.

Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle.
Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.

NOTE

Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use, and then keep it.

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 first 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.

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 charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.
• When the charge indicator lamp flickers (at 0.2-second 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.
• Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3 seconds to confirm that the battery being charged with  UC18YSL3 is taken out, wait for a minimum of 3 secondsbefore reinserting it to continue charging. If the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery may not be properly charged. MOUNTING AN

   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 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

Please always use one of our designated genuine batteries. We cannot guarantee the safety and performance of our cordless power tool when used with batteries other than these designated by us, or when the battery is disassembled and modified (such as disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal parts).

GUARANTEE

In case of complaint, please send the Power Tool, undismantled, with the GUARANTEE CERTIFICATE found at the end of this Handling instruction, to a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center.

Information concerning airborne noise and vibration The measured values were determined according to EN62841 and declared in accordance with ISO 4871. Measured A-weighted sound power level: 93 dB (A)
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 82 dB (A)
Uncertainty K: 5 dB (A).
Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN62841.
Cutting boards:
Vibration emission value ah, B = 15.8 m/s2
Uncertainty K = 7.4 m/s2
Cutting wooden beams:
Vibration emission value ah, WB = 20.9 m/s2

The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. It may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING

• The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending in the ways in which the tool is used.
• Identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

NOTE

Due to HiKOKI’s continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without prior notice.
