Additional Safety Warnings - Hitachi CJ 18DSL Handling Instructions Manual

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.
CORDLESS JIG SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
2. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
3. Never short-circuit
Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.
4. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re. If the battery is burnt,
it may explode.
5. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the
charger. Inserting metal objects or infl ammables into the
charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock
hazard or damaged charger.
6. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased
as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too
short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted
battery.
7. If the machine is used continuously at low speed, an
extra load is applied to the motor which can result in
motor seizure. Always operate the power tool so that
the blade is not caught by the material during operation.
Always adjust the blade speed to enable smooth cutting.
8. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
9. Preparing and checking the work environment. Make
sure that the work site meets all the conditions laid forth
in the precautions.
only with specifi cally
the rechargeable battery.
10. Make sure that the battery is installed fi rmly. If it is at all
loose it could come off and cause an accident.
11. Dust produced in operation
The dust produced in normal operation may aff ect
the operator's health. Either of following way is
recommended.
a) Wear a dust mask
b) Use external dust collection equipment
When using the external dust collection equipment,
connect the adapter with the hose from external dust
collection equipment.
12. Changing blades
○ Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the battery
from the body when changing blades.
○ Do not open the lever when plunger is moving. (Fig. 3)
○ Confi rm the protrusions of blade inserted to the blade
holder surely. (Fig. 3)
○ Confi rm the blade located between the groove of roller.
(Fig. 3)
13. Always make sure to push in the lock off button to the
locked position when not using.
14 Do not look directly into the light from the LED lamp.
Continuous and direct exposure to the light from the LED
lamp can injure your eyes.
15. Using the splinter guard when cutting wood materials will
reduce splintering of cut surfaces.
Insert the splinter guard in the space on the base, and
push it completely.
16. Use chip cover
○ Chip cover prevents chips from fl ying off and improves
the effi ciency of dust collector.
○ There is a possibility that chip cover is frosted when
cutting the metal.
17. Use sub base (sold separately)
○ Using the sub base made from steel will reduce abrasion
of aluminium base especially in cutting metals. Attach
the sub base to the bottom surface of base by attached 4
screws.
○ Using the sub base made from plastic will reduce
scratching of cut surface. Attach the sub base to the
bottom surface of base by attached 4 screws.
18. In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage or
excessive wear on the plunger, please make sure to
have surface of the base plate attached to the work piece
while sawing.
19 At low speed do not cut a wood with a thickness of more
than 10 mm or metal with a thickness of more than 1 mm.
20. To ensure accurate cutting when using the guide, always
set the orbital position to "0".
21. When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the feeding
speed of the machine. If the machine is fed too fast, it
could cause the blade to break.
22. Circular cutting must be done with the blade
approximately vertical to the bottom surface of the base.
23. When cutting metallic materials, use an appropriate
cutting fl uid (spindle oil, soapy water, etc.) to prolong the
bladeʼs service life.
24. Angular cutting can not be done when adopting dust
collector.
25. Connecting with cleaner (sold separately)
By connecting with cleaner through dust collector (sold
separately) and adapter (sold separately), most of dust
can be collected.
