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.
(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.
CAUTION
• If the battery is charged while it is heated because it
has been left for a long time in a location subject
to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been
used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for
0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for 0.3
seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then
start charging.
• When the charge indicator lamp flickers (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 confirm that the battery being charged with
UC18YSL3 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.

OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off
and remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING
Before using the saw, verify the following each and every
time:
• ALWAYS wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory
equipment.
• Blade is securely tightened.
• Bevel angle and fence rails lock lever is locked.
• If ripping, ensure that rip fence lock lever is locked and
that the fence is parallel to the blade.
• If crosscutting, mitre gauge lock knob is securely
tightened.
• The blade guard assembly is properly attached and the
anti-kickback pawls assembly is functioning.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, if the distance
between the rip fence and saw blade is less than 150 mm,
the push stick must be used.
WARNING
Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against
the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the
same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the
working table may result in the workpiece, and your hand,
being pulled into the saw blade.
WARNING
ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with
the blade before operating the switch to start the saw.
Blade contact could result in kickback or thrown workpiece.
WARNING
DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING
Before installing the battery in the table saw or operating
the saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly and
riving knife for proper operation alignment and clearance
with saw blade.
WARNING
Ripping or crosscutting may cause saw to tip over while
operating. Make sure saw is securely mounted to a stable
surface.
WARNING
Never use the fence and mitre gauge together. This may
cause a kickback condition and injure the operator.
WARNING
If this saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates
excessively, cease operating immediately, turn unit off
and remove the battery pack until the problem has been
located and corrected. Contact a HiKOKI factory service
center or a HiKOKI authorized service center if the problem
cannot be found.
WARNING
The proper table insert must be in place at all times to
reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece and possible injury.
WARNING
When ripping, always use the fence to provide a guide
for the material and blade guard assembly to protect
against a kickback situation.
WARNING
Never perform any cutting operation free hand. Never
perform plunge cutting.
WARNING
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Always wear eye protection before
commencing power tool operation.
WARNING
Never operate the saw with the blade guard removed
except for non-through cuts, failure to heed this instruction
could result in serious personal injury.
