12. About Continuous Operation
This tool is provided with a protective function to extend
battery life.
The battery may become overheated during continuous
operation or deep cutting operations, which may cause it
to automatically stop.
Especially with any of the batteries listed below, the tool
may stop operation before the battery starts to get hot to
prevent rapid failure from overheating.
If this happens, stop operation, remove the battery from
the tool and leave it in a well-ventilated location not
exposed to sunlight until it is suffi ciently cool.
The battery can be used again once it is cool.
(Applicable batteries: BSL1425, BSL1420, BSL1415X,
BSL1825, BSL1820, BSL1815 and old batteries)
13. Proper Battery Usage
When the tool is used with any of the batteries listed
below, it should be used for light work to extend battery
life.
Work example: Shallow depth fi nishing and chamfering
work
(Applicable batteries: BSL1425, BSL1420, BSL1415X,
BSL1825, BSL1820, BSL1815 and old batteries)
14. Always make sure the power switch is OFF and that the
battery is pulled out before attaching or detaching the
dust adapter.
15. Make sure the dust collector is completely attached.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
Take care not to break the catch when attaching or
detaching the dust adapter and chip cover.
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 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
specifi ed.
7. If the battery charging fails to complete even when a
specifi 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.
CAUTION
1. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes,
do not rub your eyes and wash them well with fresh
clean water such as tap water and contact a doctor
immediately.
If left untreated, the liquid may cause eye-problems.
2. If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with
clean water such as tap water immediately.
There is a possibility that this can cause skin irritation.
3. If you fi nd rust, foul odor, overheating, discolor,
deformation, and/or other irregularities when using the
battery for the fi rst time, do not use and return it to your
supplier or vendor.
WARNING
If an electrically conductive foreign object enters the
terminals of the lithium ion battery, a short-circuit may occur
resulting in the risk of fi re. Please observe the following
matters when storing the battery.
○ Do not place electrically conductive cuttings, nails, steel
wire, copper wire or other wire in the storage case.
○ Either install the battery in the power tool or store
by securely pressing into the battery cover until the
ventilation holes are concealed to prevent short-circuits.
REGARDING LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
TRANSPORTATION
When transporting a lithium-ion battery, please observe the
following precautions.
WARNING
Notify the transporting company that a package contains a
lithium-ion battery, inform the company of its power output
and follow the instructions of the transportation company
when arranging transport.
○ Lithium-ion batteries that exceed a power output of
100 Wh are considered to be in the freight classifi cation
of Dangerous Goods and will require special application
procedures.
○ For transportation abroad, you must comply with
international law and the rules and regulations of the
destination country.
○ If the BSL36B18 is installed in the power tool, the power
output will exceed 100 Wh and the unit will be classifi ed
as Dangerous Goods for freight classifi cation.
