APPLICATION
For charging the HiKOKI BATTERY EBM315.
CHARGING
Before using the power tool, charge the battery as follows.
1. Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle
2. Insert the battery in the charger
Position the battery so that the nameplate faces toward
the nameplate of the charger and press in the battery
until it comes into contact with the bottom plate (See
Fig. 1).
Inserting the battery will turn on the charger (the pilot
lamp lights up).
CAUTION
If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the power
cord from the receptacle and check the battery
mounting condition.
The pilot lamp goes off to indicate that the battery is
fully charged.
CAUTION
If the battery is heated due to direct sunlight, etc.,
just after operation, the charger pilot lamp may not
light. At that time cool the battery fi rst, then start
charging.
○ Regarding recharging time
Table 1 shows the recharging time required according
to the type of battery.

NOTE: The recharging time may vary according to the
ambient temperature.
3. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle
4. Hold the charger fi rmly and pull out the battery
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after
use, and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an extended
period is not activated, the electric discharge might be
low when using them the fi rst and second time. This is
a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for
recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries
2 – 3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
Battery capacity (Ah)
1.5 Ah
30 min.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery
and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. 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.
2. Cleaning of the charger
When the charger 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.
3. Store idle charger
When not in use, the charger should be stored in dry,
high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
NOTE
Due to HiKOKI's continuing program of research and
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
IMPORTANT
Correct connecting of the plug
The wires of the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Blue:
–Neutral
Brown: –Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this tool may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or coloured red. Neither core must
be connected to the earth terminal.
NOTE
This requirement is provided according to BRITISH
STANDARD 2769: 1984.
Therefore, the letter code and colour code may not be
applicable to other markets except United Kingdom.
