Prior To Operation; How To Use - HIKOKI RP 3608DA Instrucciones De Manejo

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, fi rst let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○ When the charge indicator lamp fl ickers (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 confi rm 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.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

WARNING
Before use, check the following. 1 to 2 should be
checked before insert the battery.
1. Confi rm that the vacuum switch is OFF. (Fig. 3)
If, without knowing that the vacuum switch is ON, the
battery is inserted, the appliance will start suddenly,
causing unexpected accidents. The vacuum switch will
be turned on by pushing "ON" and it will be turned off by
returning it to "OFF". Be sure to check that the vacuum
switch is OFF.
2. Order of use for batteries
When two batteries are installed, the battery with the
least remaining power is used fi rst until it is empty.
Once empty, use is automatically switched over to the
other battery.
Use is still possible with a single installed battery.
NOTE
When there is no more remaining power in a battery,
immediately recharge the battery for convenient use
later.
3. Check the fi lter
Referring to "2. Attaching the Filter" the fi lter should be
correctly attached.
CAUTION
Water absorption amount will severely decline if the
standardly equipped cloth fi lter is repeatedly used to
absorb liquid.
Use the separately sold nylon fi lter when repeatedly
absorbing large amounts of water.
4. Inserting the battery (Fig. 4)
As you pull on the clamp lever, open the battery guard.
Next, match the battery with the unit's groove and
fi rmly press the battery in until you hear a click.
CAUTION
Do not touch the terminals. Doing so may result in
cutting your hand on the terminals or other unexpected
injury.
5. Removing the battery (Fig. 4)
When removing the battery from the unit, press the
latches on both sides and slide the battery upwards to
pull it out.
6. Switch operation (Fig. 5)
During operation, the suction power will change each
time the mode selection switch is pressed.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION
Do not use the head top as a footstool or do not sit on
it. Otherwise the appliance begins to move suddenly,
causing an injury.
NOTE
Handle the hose with care. Do not bend the hose by
force, or do not trample it, or do not pull it to move the
cleaner. Moreover, do not put away the hose as it is
bent. Otherwise troubles such as its deformation may
be caused.
1. Connecting the hose (Fig. 6)
Press the attached hose into the suction opening of the
tank until it clicks and connect it. When removing the
hose, pull out the hose while pushing the button of the
suction opening.
2. Attaching the fi lter (Fig. 7)
WARNING
○ Be sure to attach the fi lter. (cloth fi lter or fi lter for dusts)
Otherwise the motor will be damaged.
○ When you collect fi ne dusts, such as siding powder and
stone powder, use the optional paper fi lter.
○ Since it is a fi lter for dry and wet suction, do not remove
it when you suck up liquids, such as water.
NOTE
If the fi lter is wet, leave it to dry out of direct sunlight.
Using the fi lter when wet will conspicuously reduce the
suction power.
(1) Check that the fi lter packing is put on the mouth of the
tank.
(2) Check that the fi lter cage is on the bottom of the fi lter.
3. Attach the zoom pipe, master nozzles, etc.
When it is used as a cleaner (Fig. 8)
Connect in order of Hose (id 38 mm × 1.5 m long),
zoom pipe and Master nozzle. Connection is done
by pressing in the direction of the arrow. The suction
mouth for crevices can also be attached depending on
the application.
4. Connect power tools (Fig. 9)
Connect in order of Hose (id 38 mm × 1.5 m long) and
Adapter or Joint (D) (Optional Accessory). Connection
is done by pressing in the direction of the arrow.
NOTE
(1) When you switch ON the unit after switching it OFF, the
mode change-over switch will revert to its state prior to
being switched OFF.
The unit will revert to mode [2] when set at [3].
(2) Depending on the operating environment, the main
unit's temperature protective function may activate and
switch off the unit.
Should the unit switch off , refer to TROUBLESHOOTING
(Page 16).
5. Filter cleaning (Fig. 10)
CAUTION
If the tank is fi lled with dusts, the suction power
declines. Dump dusts as early as possible when they
reach the half of the tank height.
When the suction power declines during use, remove
dusts in the following procedure:
