○ When the pilot 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
charger 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.

Selecting accessories
1. Surface cutting
Rough cutting should be accomplished at large cutting
depths and at a suitable speed so that shavings are
smoothly ejected from the machine. To ensure a
smoothly fi nished surface, fi nish cutting should be
accomplished at small cutting depths and at low feeding
speed.
2. Blade sharpening intervals
Blade sharpening intervals depend on the type of wood
being cut and the cutting depth. However, sharpening
should generally be eff ected after each 500 meters of
cutting operation.
3. Dressing Stone
When a water dressing stone is available, use it after
dipping it suffi ciently in water since such a dressing stone
may be worn during grinding works, fl atten the upper
surface of the dressing stone as often as necessary.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the blades
Continued use of dull or damaged blades will result in
reduced cutting effi ciency and may cause overloading
of the motor. Sharpen or replace the blades as often as
necessary.
2. Handling
CAUTION
Figure Page
The front base, rear base, and cutting depth control
knob are precisely machined to obtain specifi cally high
1 169
precision. If these parts are roughly handled or subjected
to heavy mechanical impact, it may cause deteriorated
precision and reduced cutting performance. These parts
2 169
must be handled with particular care.
3. Inspecting the mounting screws
3 169
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
4 169
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
5 169
result in serious hazard
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes
6 169
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
7 169
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brush with new ones when it becomes worn to or near
8 169
the "wear limit". In addition, always keep carbon brushes
9 170
clean and ensure that they slide freely whthin the brush
holders.
10 170
NOTE
When replacing the carbon brush with a new one, be
sure to use the HiKOKI Carbon Brush Code No. 999017.
11 170
5. Replacing carbon brushes
After removing the chip cover, take out the carbon brush
12 170 by fi rst removing the brush cap and then hooking the
protrusion of the carbon brush with a slotted head screw
driver, etc.
13 171
When installing the carbon brush, choose the direction
14 171
so that the nail of the carbon brush agrees with the
contact portion outside the brush tube. Then push it in
15 171
with a fi nger. Lastly, install the brush cap.
CAUTION
16 172
Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon brush
into the contact portion outside the brush tube.
17 172
(You can insert whichever one of the two nails provided.)
Caution must be exercised since any error in this
18 172
operation can result in the deformed nail of the carbon
brush and may cause motor trouble at an early stage.
19 173
6. Replacing belt
20 173
If the replacement of the belt is necessary, it has to be
done by HiKOKI Authorized Service Center to avoid a
21 173 safety hazard.
7. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
― 174
tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
8. Cleaning on the outside
When the planer is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or
a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric
solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.
9. Storage
Store the planer in a place in which the temperature is
less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
