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 mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety a) Keep 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 which may ignite the 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 influence 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 a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat 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 energising 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 jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing 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.
h) 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.
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 it 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools 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 different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

NOTE The recharging time may vary according to the ambient
temperature and power source voltage. If charging takes a long time
­ Charging will take longer at extremely low ambient temperatures. Charge the battery in a warm location (such as indoors).
­ Do not block the air vent. Otherwise the interior will overheat, reducing the charger’s performance.
­ If the cooling fan is not operating, contact a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center for repairs.
4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle.
5. 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 2­3 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.

3 How to use the LED light and the hose LED The LED light switches off automatically after 60 seconds of not being operated. The hose LED switches off automatically after 15 seconds.
4 WARNING
The bar handle must be firmly engaged to prevent uncontrolled loosening. NOTE If the plunger rod does not go inside, rotate the bar handle 1/4 to 1/2 of a rotation so that the protrusion of the plunger rod fits into the slot while pushing. (Fig. 10-a, 11-a, 12-a) In the following situations, remove the old grease from inside the tool before use. (1) When using for the first time (2) When using a different type of grease than was used the previous time After filling with new grease, move the tool body for a while until the new grease pushes the old grease out of the coupler. CAUTION Do not connect the grease nipple to the coupler until all of the old grease has come out. If the greases mix together, the performance may decrease. NOTE A small amount of grease remains inside the tool from when it was tested before shipment. 5 Air purge When filling or replacing grease, some air gets inside the tool body. If grease is not discharged because of air inside the tool, set the shift knob to “2”, and pull the trigger switch to purge the air. (Fig. 13-a) If a large amount of air is inside, while pulling the trigger, press the vent valve to purge the air. (Fig. 13-b) 6 Grease discharging CAUTION When attaching or removing the coupler from the grease nipple, using excessive force may damage the coupler and grease nipple. Before connecting the coupler and grease nipple, clean off any dirt. Face the coupler toward the grease nipple and press it in straight from directly above. Pull the trigger switch to inject grease. After injecting, slightly tilt the coupler to release the internal pressure before removing it. Wipe off any grease adhered to the coupler and grease nipple to clean them.

NOTE If the cause of the overburdening is not removed, and the battery is replaced and the switch is repeatedly turned ON 3 times, the tool becomes unusable for 1 minute. One minute later, after the LED has automatically turned off, the tool can be used as normal.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING Be sure to turn off the switch and remove the battery before 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. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Storage Store the power tool and 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.

LED LIGHT WARNING SIGNALS

This product features functions that are designed to protect the tool itself as well as the battery. If any of the safeguard functions are triggered during operation, the LED light will blink as described in Table 4. When any of the safeguard functions are triggered, immediately remove your finger from the switch and follow the instructions described under corrective action.
