● Regarding the temperatures and charging time of the
battery.
The temperatures and charging time will become as
shown in Table 2.

battery can be recharged

Charging time,
approx. (At 20°C)
NOTE
The recharging time may vary according to the ambient
temperature and power source voltage.
CAUTION
When the battery charger has been continuously used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.
4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger fi rmly 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 fi rst and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging
will be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 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.
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 pilot lamp of the charger lights up green or lights
for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for
0.5 seconds). In such a case, fi rst let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○ When the pilot lamp fl ickers in red (at 0.2-seconds
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 chargers
are 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.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Do not touch the terminals.
Doing so may result in cuts to the hand or other injuries.
Only HiKOKI battery model BSL36B18 can be used with this
device.
Installing the battery
Align the battery with the groove in tool and slip it into place.
Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little
click, If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing
injury to you or someone around you (Fig. 1).
Removing the battery
Withdraw battery from the tool while pressing the latch
(2 pcs) of the battery (Fig. 1).
NOTE
○ Do not apply any excessive pressure when inserting the
battery. If the battery does not easily slide into place, it is
not being inserted properly.
Check to see if the battery is facing the correct direction
and that there is nothing obstructing the path of insertion.
○ If is displayed when the device is switched on
following battery installation, the battery charge is low.
In this situation, either use the AC adapter or install a fully
charged battery.
AC ADAPTER INSTALLATION
Power can be supplied by plugging the AC adapter
(included) into a standard household outlet.
Pull back the rubber cover and connect the AC adapter to
the AC adapter port. (Fig. 2)
Next, plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
NOTE
○ When used together with the battery, the AC adapter
is the main power source and no battery power is
consumed.
○ When used together with the AC adapter, the battery will
not recharge as this device has no recharge function.
