MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection during power tool operation
or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.
WARNING
Before performing any maintenance, make sure the switch
in the off position and remove the battery pack.
WARNING
DO NOT at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastics parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic.
WARNING
Make sure the blade guard is reinstalled immediately after
finishing any maintenance which requires it to be removed.
Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious
personal injury.
1. General maintenance
◌ Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease,
etc.
◌ Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws
for tightness and condition. Make sure the table insert
is in good condition and level with the working table.
◌ Check the blade guard assembly after performing
maintenance to make sure it is installed correctly and
functioning properly.
◌ Clean plastic part only with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT
use any aerosol or petroleum solvents.
2. Lubrication
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required.
3. Service and repairs
All quality power tools will eventually require servicing or
replacement of parts because of wear from normal use.
To assure that only authorized replacement parts will be
used, all service (other than routine maintenance) must
be performed by an HiKOKI Authorized Service Center
ONLY.
NOTE
Specifications are subject to change without any obligation
on the part of HiKOKI.
4. Maintenance and inspection
WARNING
To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confirm
that the switch is turned OFF and remove the battery
before performing any maintenance or inspection of this
tool.
◌ 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.
◌ Disposal of the exhausted battery.
WARNING
Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The battery
must explode if it is incinerated. The product that you
have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The
battery is recyclable. At the end of it's useful life, under
various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose
of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check
with your local solid waste officials for details in your area
for recycling options or proper disposal.
5. Storage
After operation of the tool has been completed, check
that the following has been performed:
◌ Switch is in OFF position.
◌ Pull out the battery pack from the tool.
When the tool is not use, keep it stored in a dry place out
of the 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,
significantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, significantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to five times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
