HOW TO USE
1. Fixing the body in place
○ If a load is applied to the bit when drilling holes, the tool
may be pushed out of control in the opposite direction
by recoil.
To reduce the load applied to the bit, use a well-
sharpened bit that is appropriate for the type of work.
Place the bit straight against the surface to be drilled.
○ Try to avoid drilling holes in wood that is bent, damp, or
has many knots. Also, ensure that there are no nails or
other metal objects inside the wood.
○ When drilling existing holes to make them larger, or
when the bit goes all the way through the material, be
careful as a load may be applied to the bit.
○ Placing the side handle against a pillar, etc. while
working can prevent the tool body from jerking out of
control. (Fig. 14-a, Fig. 14-b)
2. Slip clutch
During work, the slip clutch activates when a large load
is suddenly applied, which causes the transmission
between the motor and the bit to slip, and the bit
rotation stops. If this feature activates and the drill
rotation stops, quickly stop the switch.
NOTE
The slip clutch only activates when the change lever is
in low speed ("1").
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
Be sure to turn off the switch and remove the battery
before maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the tool
Since use of as dull tool will degrade efficiency and
cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace
the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Cleaning on the outside
When the power tool 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.
6. 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,
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.
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 modified (such as
disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal
parts).
GUARANTEE
We guarantee HiKOKI Power Tools in accordance with
statutory/country specific 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:
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level:
Uncertainty K: 5 dB (A)
Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN62841.
Drilling into metal:
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 differ 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).
