Additional Safety Warnings - HIKOKI CR 18DBL Mode D'emploi

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fi re.
c) 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 fi re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid

CORDLESS RECIPROCATING SAW
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
only with specifi cally
batteries may exhibit

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Preparing and checking the work environment. Make
sure that the work site meets all the conditions laid forth
in the precautions.
2. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
3. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
4. Never short-circuit
Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.
5. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re. 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 infl ammables 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 fi rmly as shown in Fig. 14. 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.
○ If 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)
○ After 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 fi rmly. If it is at all
loose it could come off and cause an accident.
13. Do not fi x and secure the switch lock. Besides, keep
your fi nger 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 fi rmly against the workpiece.
