MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
Be sure to turned off the switch and remove the battery
before maintenance and inspection.
1. Empting and cleaning the Dust Bag
If the dust bag contains too much dust, dust collection
will be aff ected. Empty the dust bag when it gets full.
Remove the dust bag, open the closure band, and
dispose of the contents. (Fig. 12)
2. Inspecting the sanding paper
Since use of worn-out sanding paper will degrade
effi ciency and cause possible damage to the pad,
replace the sanding paper as soon a excessive abrasion
is noted.
3. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
4. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
5. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
CAUTION
Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on
the terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
6. Cleaning on the outside
WARNING
Wear protective glasses and a dust mask when cleaning
the fi lter with an air gun.
Failure to do so may result in inhalation or exposure of
the eyes to debris or dust.
Use an air gun or other similar tool to remove materials,
chips, etc. which have adhered to the body, and 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.
7. Storage
Store the power tool and battery in a place in which
the temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of
children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.

Important notice on the batteries for the HiKOKI
cordless power tools
Please always use one of our designated genuine
batteries. We cannot guarantee the safety and
performance of our cordless power tool when used with
batteries other than these designated by us, or when
the battery is disassembled and modifi ed (such as
disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal
parts).
GUARANTEE
We guarantee HiKOKI Power Tools in accordance with
statutory/country specifi c regulation. This guarantee does
not cover defects or damage due to misuse, abuse, or
normal wear and tear. In case of complaint, please send
the Power Tool, undismantled, with the GUARANTEE
CERTIFICATE found at the end of this Handling instruction,
to a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center.
Information concerning airborne noise and vibration
The measured values were determined according to
EN62841 and declared in accordance with ISO 4871.
Measured A-weighted sound power level: 88 dB (A)
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 77 dB (A)
Uncertainty K: 3 dB (A).
Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN62841.
Sanding steel plate:
Vibration emission value
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s
The declared vibration total value and the declared noise
emission value have been measured in accordance with a
standard test method and may be used for comparing one
tool with another.
They may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING
○ The vibration and noise emission during actual use
of the power tool can diff er from the declared total
value depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed; and
○ Identify safety measures to protect the operator that
are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual
conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
NOTE
Due to HiKOKI's continuing program of research and
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
