Caution On Lithium-Ion Battery - HIKOKI CR 18DSL Instrucciones De Manejo

English
13. When setting the base position, be absolutely sure to
keep the switch turned off and the battery removed to
prevent any accident.
14. Make sure that the battery is installed fi rmly. If it is at all
loose it could come off and cause an accident.
15. Do not carry tools with your fi nger on the switch. A
sudden startup can result in an unexpected injury.
16. Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture, etc., enter
the inside of the machine through the plunger section
during operation. If sawdust and the like accumulate in
the plunger section, always clean it before use.
17. Do not remove the front cover which will cause in an
injury.
Be sure to hold the body from the top of the front cover.
18. During use, press the base fi rmly against the workpiece.
19. Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length.
Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the saw
blade after subtracting the stroke quantity should be
larger than the material.
If you cut a large pipe, large block of wood, etc., that
exceeds the cutting capacity of a blade; there is a risk
that the blade may contact with the inner wall of the pipe,
wood, etc., resulting in damage. (Fig. 8)
20. Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade
when cutting. Doing so can easily break the blade.
21. The motor can be locked sometimes, depending
on the combination of the material to be cut and the
blade. Whenever the motor gets locked, switch it off
immediately.
22. Fasten a workpiece fi rmly before operation. (Fig. 9)
23. When cutting metallic materials, use proper machine
oil (turbine oil, etc.). When not using liquid machine oil,
apply grease over the workpiece.
The service life of the saw blade will be drastically
shortened if you don't use machine oil.
24. Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into
small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may break
the blade.
25. Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This can
easily damage the blade.
26. Never pull the switch trigger while the tip of the saw
blade tip is pressed against the material. If you do so, the
blade can easily be damaged when it collides with the
material.
27. Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly while holding
the body fi rmly. If you apply any unreasonable force to
the saw blade during the cutting operation, the blade can
easily be damaged.
28. The use of the battery in a cold condition (below
0 degree Centigrade) can sometimes result in the
weakened cutting torque and reduced amount of work.
This, however, is a temporary phenomenon, and returns
to normal when the battery warms up.

CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with the
protection function to stop the output.
In the cases of 1 to 3 described below, when using this
product, even if you are pulling the switch, the motor may
stop. This is not the trouble but the result of protection
function.
1. When the battery power remaining runs out, the motor
stops.
In such a case, charge it up immediately.
2. If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. In this
case, release the switch of tool and eliminate causes of
overloading. After that, you can use it again.
3. If the battery is overheated under overload work, the
battery power may stop.
In this case, stop using the battery and let the battery
cool. After that, you can use it again.
Furthermore, please heed the following warning and caution.
WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat generation,
smoke emission, explosion and ignition beforehand, please
be sure to heed the following precautions.
1. Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on the
battery.
○ During work make sure that swarf and dust do not fall on
the battery.
○ Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the power
tool during work do not collect on the battery.
○ Do not store an unused battery in a location exposed to
swarf and dust.
○ Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and dust that
may adhere to it and do not store it together with metal
parts (screws, nails, etc.).
2. Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a
nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw or subject the
battery to severe physical shock.
3. Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery.
4. Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.
5. Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets or car
cigarette lighter sockets.
6. Do not use the battery for a purpose other than those
specifi ed.
7. If the battery charging fails to complete even when a
specifi ed recharging time has elapsed, immediately stop
further recharging.
8. Do not put or subject the battery to high temperatures or
high pressure such as into a microwave oven, dryer, or
high pressure container.
9. Keep away from fi re immediately when leakage or foul
odor are detected.
10. Do not use in a location where strong static electricity
generates.
11. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat generated,
discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal
during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it
from the equipment or battery charger, and stop use.
12. Do not immerse the battery or allow any fl uids to fl ow
inside. Conductive liquid ingress, such as water, can
cause damage resulting in fi re or explosion. Store your
battery in a cool, dry place, away from combustible and
fl ammable items. Corrosive gas atmospheres must be
avoided.
CAUTION
1. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes,
do not rub your eyes and wash them well with fresh
clean water such as tap water and contact a doctor
immediately.
If left untreated, the liquid may cause eye-problems.
2. If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with
clean water such as tap water immediately.
There is a possibility that this can cause skin irritation.
3. If you fi nd rust, foul odor, overheating, discolor,
deformation, and/or other irregularities when using the
battery for the fi rst time, do not use and return it to your
supplier or vendor.
WARNING
If a conductive foreign matter enters in the terminal of lithium
ion battery, the battery may be shorted, causing fi re. When
storing the lithium ion battery, obey surely the rules of
following contents.
○ Do not place conductive debris, nail and wires such as
iron wire and copper wire in the storage case.
○ To prevent shorting from occurring, load the battery in
the tool or insert securely the battery cover for storing
until the ventilator is not seen.
