Caution On Lithium-Ion Battery - HIKOKI NH 18DSL Mode D'emploi

12. Keep hands and feet away from the fi ring head
when using.
It is very dangerous for a nail to hit the
hands or feet by mistake.
13. Beware of the tool's kickback.
Do not approach the top of the tool with your head etc.
during operation. This is dangerous because the tool
may recoil violently if the nail currently being driven in
comes into contact with a previous nail or a knot in the
wood.
14. Take care when nailing thin boards or the corners
of wood.
When nailing thin boards, the nails may pass right
through, as may also be the case when nailing the
corners of wood due to deviation of the nails. In such
cases, always make sure that there is no one (and
nobody's hands or feet; etc.) behind the thin board or
next to the wood you are going to nail.
15. Simultaneous nailing on both sides of the same
wall is dangerous.
Under no circumstances should nailing be performed on
both sides of a wall at the same time. This would be very
dangerous since the nails might pass through the wall
and thus cause injuries.
16. Do not use the power tool on scaff oldings, ladders.
The power tool shall not be used for specifi c application
for example:
– when changing one driving location to another
involves the use of scaff oldings, stairs, ladders or
ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,
– closing boxes or crates,
– fi tting transportation safety systems e.g. on vehicles
and wagons
17. Remove all remaining nails and battery from Auto
Hammer when:
1) doing maintenance and inspection;
2) checking proper operation of rod and trigger;
3) clearing a jam;
4) it is not in use;
5) leaving work area;
6) moving it to another location; and
7) handing it to another person.
Never attempt to clear a jam or repair the Auto Hammer
unless you have removed battery and all remaining nails
from the Auto Hammer.
The Auto Hammer should never be left unattended since
people who are not familiar with the Auto Hammer might
handle it and injure the themselves.
18. When cleaning the power tool, do not use gasoline
or other infl ammable liquids.
If vapour from an infl ammable liquid gets into the power
tool, there is a danger that sparks produced when
stapling etc. may cause an explosion.
19. The operating environment for this device is
between 0°C and 40°C so ensure use within this
temperature range. The device may fail to operate
below 0°C or above 40°C.
20. NEVER allow magnets (or similar magnetic devices)
to be adjacent to the Auto Hammer, because the
Auto Hammer has a magnet inside.
Doing so will cause a failure or risk of injury by
malfunction.
21. Resting the unit after continuous work.
22. The power tool is equipped with a temperature
protection circuit to protect the motor. Continuous
work may cause the temperature of the unit to rise,
activating the temperature protection circuit and
automatically stopping operation. If this happens,
allow the power tool to cool before resuming use.
23. This product may cease to operate when an
abnormality is detected.
24. Do not look directly into the light. Such actions could
result in eye injury.
Wipe off any dirt or grime attached to the lens of the LED
light with a soft cloth, being careful not to scratch the
lens.
Scratches on the lens of the LED light can result in
decreased brightness.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY AND
CHARGER
1. Always charge
temperature of 0–40°C.
A temperature of less than 0°C will result in over charging
which is dangerous. The battery cannot be charged at a
temperature greater than 40°C.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that of
20–25°C.
2. Do not use the charger continuously.
When one charging is completed, leave the charger for
about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.
3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery or
charger.
5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.
Short-circuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.
6. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re.
If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
7. Using an exhausted battery will damage the
charger.
8. 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.
9. Do not insert objects into the air ventilation slots of
the charger.
Inserting metal objects or fl ammable into the charger air
ventilation slots will result in an electrical shock hazard or
damage to the charger.

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 a 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.
