GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
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 fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the

CORDLESS BLOWER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Do not put your hands or face near the cordless blower’s
blast port or suction port during use.
Doing so might lead to injuries.
2. When cleaning electrical conductors such as an
electrical panel, be sure there is plenty of space between
the conductor and the power tool. Also, make sure to
mount the nozzle when cleaning.
Failure to mount the nozzle while cleaning the conductor
can result in an electric shock.
3. Do not block the blast port and/or suction port. Also, do
not allow dust to accumulate in the suction port.
Blocking the blast port or suction port will abnormally
speed up the motor’s rotation which may damage the fan
within the power tool and cause the motor to excessively
heat up.
4. Do not use the power tool to fill a balloon or swim ring
with air.
5. Do not use in locations where inflammable materials
such as lacquer, paint, benzene, thinner or gasoline are
present. Also do not let items such as lighted cigarette
butts be suctioned inside at such locations.
Explosion or fires might result.
6. Do not use near objects generating high heat such as
stoves; do not blow at lit cigarette butts; and do not stoke
or extinguish flames.
Fires might occur if used near such locations.
7. Do not use in environments subject to heavy doses of
chemicals, etc.
Plastic sections might weaken and break, and injuries
might occur.
8. If you notice that the unit is generating unusually high
temperatures, operating poorly, or making abnormal
noises, immediately stop using and shut offthe power
switch. Request an inspection and repair from the dealer
where you purchased the unit or a HiKOKI Authorized
Service Center.
Continuing to use while operating abnormally might
cause injuries.
9. If the unit is mistakenly dropped or strikes another object,
make a thorough check of the unit for cracks, breakage
or deformation, etc.
Injuries might occur if the unit has cracks, breakage or
deformation.
10. Do not place objects such as screws inside the suction
port or blast port.
Failure to do so may damage the interior parts of the tool.
11. For blowing operation, mount the nozzle to the blast port.
For dust collection, mount the nozzle to the suction port
and mount the dust bag on the blast port.
12. Do not use the tool to suction liquid such as water or
wet dust particles, or items such as bits of glass, cutting

13. Do not use industrial oil or grease (cutting oil, lubricant,
etc.), or in the vicinity of chemicals.
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate or cause
damage.
14. Make a thorough inspection if using the cordless blower
to blow or clean viscous powder or dust particles.
Powder or dust particles might be suctioned in and
adhere internally, causing the vanes to break or injuries
to occur.
15. Never touch moving parts.
Never place your hands, fingers or other body parts near
the tool’s moving parts.
16. NEVER leave tool running unattended. Turn power off.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
17. When operating the tool in high locations, make sure
there is nobody below.
18. Be careful when blowing large amounts of fine dust
in a dry environment as it can cause an accumulation
of static electricity which can result in an unexpected
electric discharge.
19. Never point toward people or animals. The machine
blows small objects at a high velocity and can cause
injury.
20. Never operate from an unstable footing, such as when
on a ladder or step ladder.
Doing so may cause an injury.
21. Do not strike the tool with other objects; avoid strong
impacts such as dropping the tool; and do not allow the
