Cutting - Hitachi CE 18DSL Handling Instructions Manual

English
CAUTION
: on lithium-ion battery
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with the protection function to
stop the output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. However,
this is not the trouble but the result of protection function. In this case, release the
switch of tool and eliminate the causes of overloading.
CAUTION
○ When switching on the tool, make sure the application tool is not in contact with
the material to be processed. Failure to do so may result in injury.
○ For cutting effi ciency, switch the speed of the application tool according to task
conditions and materials to be cut.
○ Do not apply any unnecessary pressure when operating the tool. Doing so may
damage the application tool.
○ After use, be sure not to place the tool near chips or sawdust before it comes to a
full stop as the tool may suck in those particles.

CUTTING

WARNING
○ Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off and the battery removed to
prevent any accident.
○ During operation, do not place your face or hands near the application tool of the
unit.
1. Switch the unit on. (Fig. 9)
2. Lightly place the application tool on the
material and move the application tool
forward at a pace where the movement
isn't slowed. (Fig. 9)
CAUTION
○ Do not attempt to cut panels of thicknesses that are beyond the capability of the
cordless shear. Doing so will result in premature breakage of the cordless shear.
○ Perform the cutting operation only after the panel is fi xed securely.
When cutting thin panels, level the unit horizontally, as shown in Fig. 9.
To facilitate smooth cutting of thick panels, if the cut-off side goes toward the left, (Fig. 9) raise
the rear of the unit slightly. And if the cut-off side goes toward the right, lower the rear of the unit
slightly.
