Prior To Operation; How To Use - HIKOKI RP 3608DB Mode D'emploi

English
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, fi rst let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○ When the charge indicator lamp fl ickers (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 confi rm that the battery being charged
with UC18YSL3 is taken out, wait for a minimum of
3 seconds before reinserting it to continue charging. If
the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery
may not be properly charged.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

WARNING
Before use, check the following. 1 to 2 should be
checked before insert the battery.
1. Confi rm that the vacuum switch is OFF. (Fig. 3)
If, without knowing that the vacuum switch is ON, the
battery is inserted, the appliance will start suddenly,
causing unexpected accidents. The vacuum switch will
be turned on by pushing "ON" and it will be turned off by
returning it to "OFF". Be sure to check that the vacuum
switch is OFF.
2. Order of use for batteries
When two batteries are installed, the battery with the
least remaining power is used fi rst until it is empty.
Once empty, use is automatically switched over to the
other battery.
Use is still possible with a single installed battery.
NOTE
When there is no more remaining power in a battery,
immediately recharge the battery for convenient use
later.
3. Check the fi lter
Referring to "2. Filter installation/confi rmation" the fi lter
should be correctly attached.
4. Inserting the battery (Fig. 4)
As you pull on the clamp lever, open the battery guard.
Next, match the battery with the unit's groove and
fi rmly press the battery in until you hear a click.
CAUTION
Do not touch the terminals. Doing so may result in
cutting your hand on the terminals or other unexpected
injury.
5. Removing the battery (Fig. 4)
When removing the battery from the unit, press the
latches on both sides and slide the battery upwards to
pull it out.
6. Mode change-over switch operation (Fig. 5)
During operation, the suction power will change each
time the mode selection switch is pressed.
7. Auto/manual switch operation (Fig. 6)
