About the Mode Change Function

With the storage battery installed to the main unit and the 

unit switched on, pressing the Mode Change switch will 

switch the operation mode to auto mode. While in Auto 

Mode, the Auto Mode display lamp will remain lit.

○

  With Auto Mode, you can lower noise and vibration by 

lowering the maximum number of revolutions while in a 

no-load state.

  While in Auto Mode, the number of revolutions will be 

raised if the load becomes greater during operation.

  On the other hand, the number of revolutions will be 

lowered if the load decreases during operation.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1.  Inspecting the depressed center wheel

Ensure that the depressed center wheel is free of cracks 

and surface defects.

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 cordless disc grinder 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. Cleaning the 

fi

 lter (Fig. 11)

After use, detach the 

fi

 lter and remove any grime or dust 

from the screen with an airgun or other tool.

NOTE

○

To clear the unit of grime or dust, periodically run 

the motor in a no-load state and blow dry air into the 

ventilation hole with the 

fi

 lter removed.

Accumulation of grime or dust accumulates in the motor 

can cause damage.

○

  After cleaning, make sure to securely attach the 

fi

 lter.

7. Storage

  Store the cordless disc grinder 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, 

signi

fi

 cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering 

the batteries incapable of holding a charge.

 However, 

signi

fi

 cantly reduced battery usage time may 

be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the 

batteries two to 

fi

 ve 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 modi

fi

 ed (such as 

disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal 

parts).

NOTE

Due to HiKOKI’s continuing program of research and 

development, the speci

fi

 cations herein are subject to 

change without prior notice.
