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 dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the offposition before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power toolʼs
operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
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.

NOTE
The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature and power source
voltage.
4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle.
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use, and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used
for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using
them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required
for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.
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
pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (offfor
0.5 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.
○
When the pilot lamp flickers (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 confirm that the battery
being charged with charger 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.
○
If the pilot lamp does not blink in red (every second) even though the charger cord
is connected to the power, it indicates that the protection circuit of the charger may
be activated.

filter and wash it in cold or warm water. (The water should not be hot to the touch.)
After washing, dry out of direct sunlight.
If there is dust on the fan filter, hold the cleaner with the fan filter pointing downwards to keep
dust from entering the motor and lightly clean with a small brush such as a used toothbrush.
NOTE
○
Do not use gasoline, thinner, benzene or kerosene as they can melt plastic.

NOTE
Storing Lithium-ion Batteries
Make sure the 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.
