HIKOKI G 18DBL, Handling Instructions Manual

5

–  Check that the work piece is properly supported;

–  Do not use cutting o

ff

  wheel for side grinding;

–  Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create 

a hazard e.g. do not hit persons, or ignite 

fl

 ammable 

substances;

–  Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when 

working in dusty conditions, if it should become 

necessary to clear dust, 

fi

 rst disconnect the tool from 

the mains supply (use non metallic objects) and avoid 

damaging internal parts;

–  Always use eye and ear protection. Other personal 

protective equipment such as dust mask, gloves, helmet 

and apron should be worn;

–  Pay attention to the wheel that continues to rotate after 

the tool is switched o

ff

 .

–  Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for 

connecting the rechargeable battery.

–  Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and 

charger.

– Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. 

Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric 

current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the 

battery.

–  Do not dispose of the battery in 

fi

 re. If the battery is burnt, 

it may explode.

–  Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the 

charger. Inserting metal objects or in

fl

 ammables into the 

charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock 

hazard or damaged charger.

–  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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1.  Ensure that the depressed center wheel to be utilized is 

the correct type and free of cracks or surface defects. 

Also ensure that the depressed center wheel is properly 

mounted and the wheel nut is securely tightened.

2. Con

fi

 rm that the push button is disengaged by pushing 

push button two or three times before switching the 

power tool on.

3.  To prolong the life of the machine and ensure a 

fi

 rst 

class 

fi

 nish, it is important that the machine should not 

be overloaded by applying too much pressure. In most 

applications, the weight of the machine alone is su

ffi

  cient 

for e

ff

 ective grinding. Too much pressure will result in 

reduced rotational speed, inferior surface 

fi

 nish,  and 

overloading which could reduce the life of the machine.

4.  The wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched 

o

ff

 .

After switching o

ff

  the machine, do not put it down until 

the depressed center wheel has come to a complete 

stop. Apart from avoiding serious accidents, this 

precaution will reduce the amount of dust and swarf 

sucked into the machine.

5.  When the machine is not use, the power source should 

be disconnected.

6.  Be sure to switch OFF and disconnect the attachment 

plug from the receptacle to avoid a serious accident 

before the depressed center wheel is assembling and 

disassembling.

7.  Do not use the product if the tool or the battery terminals 

(battery mount) are deformed.

  Installing the battery could cause a short circuit that 

could result in smoke emission or ignition.

8.  Keep the tool’s terminals (battery mount) free of swarf 

and dust.

○

  Prior to use, make sure that swarf and dust have not 

collected in the area of the terminals.

○

  During use, try to avoid swarf or dust on the tool from 

falling on the battery.

○

  When suspending operation or after use, do not leave 

the tool in an area where it may be exposed to falling 

swarf or dust.

Doing so could cause a short circuit that could result in 

smoke emission or ignition.

CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with the 

protection function to stop the output.

In the cases of 1 to 3 described below, when using this 

product, even if you are pulling the switch, the motor may 

stop. This is not the trouble but the result of protection 

function.

1.  When the battery power remaining runs out, the motor 

stops.

In such a case, charge it up immediately.

2.  If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. In this 

case, release the switch of tool and eliminate causes of 

overloading. After that, you can use it again.

3.  If the battery is overheated under overload work, the 

battery power may stop.

  In this case, stop using the battery and let the battery 

cool. After that, you can use it again.

Furthermore, please heed the following warning and caution.

WARNING

In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat generation, 

smoke emission, explosion and ignition beforehand, please 

be sure to heed the following precautions.

1.  Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on the 

battery.

○

  During work make sure that swarf and dust do not fall on 

the battery.

○

  Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the power 

tool during work do not collect on the battery.

○

  Do not store an unused battery in a location exposed to 

swarf and dust.

○

  Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and dust that 

may adhere to it and do not store it together with metal 

parts (screws, nails, etc.).

2.  Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a 

nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw or subject the 

battery to severe physical shock.

3.  Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery.

4.  Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.

5.  Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets or car 

cigarette lighter sockets.

6.  Do not use the battery for a purpose other than those 

speci

fi

 ed.

7.  If the battery charging fails to complete even when a 

speci

fi

 ed recharging time has elapsed, immediately stop 

further recharging.

8.  Do not put or subject the battery to high temperatures or 

high pressure such as into a microwave oven, dryer, or 

high pressure container.

9.  Keep away from 

fi

 re immediately when leakage or foul 

odor are detected.

10. Do not use in a location where strong static electricity 

generates.

11. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat generated, 

discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal 

during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it 

from the equipment or battery charger, and stop use.

12. Do not immerse the battery or allow any 

fl

 uids  to 

fl

 ow 

inside. Conductive liquid ingress, such as water, can 

cause damage resulting in 

fi

 re or explosion. Store your 

battery in a cool, dry place, away from combustible and 

fl

 ammable items. Corrosive gas atmospheres must be 

avoided.
