b) Use
power
tools
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fi re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fi re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infi rm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and infi rm persons.
PRECAUTIONS ON USING
CORDLESS NIBBLER
1. Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the battery is connected to a power tool while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will
start operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
2. Beware of sharp panel edges.
The edge of the plate just cut by the nibbler is very sharp.
Take care in not getting hurt by the sharp edge.
3. If shavings get into the machine, it will produce problems
or accidents. Do not place the machine on the shavings.
4. Shavings are hot immediately after they are cut. Never
touch them with bare hands.
5. Die Inspection
Inspect for looseness of the M8 hexagon socket set
screw used for mounting the die holder, the M3 machine
screws used for mounting the die (see Fig. 3) and
the M5 hexagon socket set screws used for mounting
the punch (see Fig. 3). Caution should be exercised
because, if any of these screws are loose, not only does
cutting performance deteriorate but the machine can
also be damaged.
6. Lubrication
Before use, carefully lubricate the sliding surfaces
around the die and punch (see Fig. 3) with a suitable
amount of machine oil or spindle oil.
7. Cutting
○ Never try to cut materials that are too large for the
capacity of the machine since this may cause damage.
○ Applying cutting oil (spindle oil, machine oil, and so on)
along the shearing line may decrease wear of the punch
and die.
Use care to prevent cutting oil adhering to the housing
since the surface may be damaged.
CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with the
protection function to stop the output.
only
with
specifi cally
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.
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.
