AC/DC ADAPTER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Please only use the professional power tools specifi ed
in this manual and in HiKOKI catalogs. Failure to do so
may result in accident, injury or malfunction.
2. Do not place the box upside down.
Prior to use, place the box LED side up.
3. Please use the product properly.
(1) Always use the charger at the voltage specifi ed on the
nameplate. Do not use with boosters or other types of
transformers.
Doing so could result in overheating or fi re.
(2) Do not use the adapter at temperatures less than
-10°C or at 35°C or higher.
(3) When the adapter is not in use or when being
maintained and inspected, disconnect the power cord
of the adapter from the receptacle.
4. 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.
5. Do not handle the adapter's power plug with wet
hands. Doing so may result in electric shock.
6. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't expose power
tools and adapter to rain. Don't use power tools and
adapter in damp or wet locations. And keep work
area well lit. Never use power tools and adapter near
fl ammable or explosive materials. Do not use tool and
adapter in presence of fl ammable liquids or gases.
7. Do not dispose of the adapter in fi re. If the adapter is
burnt, it may explode.
8. Never disassemble the adapter.
9. Do not use the product if the tool or the adapter
terminals (battery mount) are deformed. Installing the
adapter could cause a short circuit that could result in
smoke emission or ignition.
10. Keep the tool's terminals (battery mount) free of swarf
and dust. Prior to use, make sure that swarf and dust
have not collected in the area of the terminals. During
use, try to avoid swarf or dust on the tool from falling
on the adapter. When suspending operation or after
use, do not leave the tool in an area where it may be
exposed to falling swarf or dust. Doing so could cause
a short circuit that could result in smoke emission or
ignition.
11. Do not pierce adapter with a sharp object such as a
nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw or subject
the adapter to severe physical shock.
12. Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed
adapter.
13. Do not use the adapter in reverse polarity.
14. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
15. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
16. Store idle tools and adapter. When not in use, tools
and adapter should be stored in dry, high or locked-
up place — out of reach or children. Store tools and
adapter in a place in which the temperature is less
than 40°C.
17. Don't abuse cord. Never carry AC/DC adapter by cord
or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
18. Take good care of the AC/DC adapter.
Prior to use, inspect the plug and cord of the AC/DC
adapter. If there is any damage, contact the place of
purchase for repairs.
19. For repairs, use a store that specializes in AC/DC
adapters.
Persons other than a service person should not take
apart, repair or modify the AC/DC adapter.
Doing so could result in injury from fi re or malfunction.
If there are any abnormalities to the AC/DC adapter,
send it out to be inspected or repaired.
Do not modify this AC/DC adapter as it conforms to
applicable safety standards.
Always contact the place of purchase for repairs.
Repairing the adapter yourself could result in accident
or injury.
20. The product has built-in precision parts. Avoid
dropping or infl icting strong impact.
Doing so may cause malfunction.
21. Make sure that the adapter is installed fi rmly. If it is as
all loose it could come off and cause an accident.
22. Periodically inspect the product.
23. Do not use the product if the tool or the AC/DC adapter
terminals (AC/DC adapter mount) are deformed.
Installing the AC/DC adapter could cause a short
circuit that could result in smoke emission or ignition.
24. Keep the tool's terminals (AC/DC adapter mount) free
of swarf and dust.
○ Prior to use, make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected in the area of the terminals.
○ During use, try to avoid swarf or dust on the tool from
falling on the AC/DC adapter.
○ When suspending operation or after use, do not leave
the tool in an area where it may be exposed to falling
swarf or dust.
Doing so could cause a short circuit that could result
in smoke emission or ignition.
25. To prevent electric shock, connect to a power source
equipped with a ground fault circuit breaker.
26. Prior to use, make sure that the DC cord insulation is
not torn or that the case is not cracked.
Do not use the product if there is a break in the DC
cord, the insulation is torn, or the case is damaged.
27. Before starting operation, make sure that the vicinity
of the box's vent is free from any wood shavings or
iron powder.
Also, do not use in locations where iron powder is
abundant, or in areas where there is rain, snow or
other water sources that could wet the product.
28. Make sure there are no solid metal material or liquid
in the adapter box. Failure to do so may result in
damage.
29. Be careful not to step on the box. Also, make sure the
box is placed in a location where it won't be stepped
on. Do not place in a location where the box could be
immersed in water when it rains.
30. The adapter, power supply box and the inside of the
DC cord generates a boosted high voltage of 380 V so
please be careful of the following.
○ Do not disassemble the product.
○ Do not drop or expose to impact.
In the event the product is damaged from strong
impact, do not use the product.
○ Do not use the product in areas exposed to rain, snow,
iron powder or wet condition.
○ Do not touch the product with wet hands.
○ Do not spill or pour liquid onto the product.
○ Do not pull the cord with excessive force.
○ Use the product in a well-ordered work environment.
31. When the temperature protective feature frequently
cuts the power off , do not overload the machine with
continued work, but let the machine rest for a little
before continuing operation.
