Additional Safety Warnings - HIKOKI DV18DA Handling Instructions Manual

English
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fi re when used with another
battery pack.
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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modifi ed.
Damaged or modifi ed
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fi re, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fi re or temperature above 130°C may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specifi ed in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specifi ed range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fi re.
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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
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 DRIVER DRILL / COMBI
DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety instructions for all operations
<DV18DA>
a) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
<DS18DA / DV18DA>
b) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
only with specifi cally
batteries may exhibit
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
a) Never operate at higher speed than the maximum
speed rating of the drill bit.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to
rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
b) Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip
in contact with the workpiece.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to
rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do
not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control,
resulting in personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Make sure that the area to be drilled is absolutely free
of any hidden obstructions including electrical wiring,
water, or gas pipes. Drilling into the aforementioned may
result in electric shock or short circuit, gas leak or other
hazards that can cause serious accidents or injuries.
2. Make sure to securely hold the tool during operation.
Failure to do so can result in accidents or injuries. (Fig. 2)
3. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or vice is held more secure than by
hand.
4. Setting up and checking the work environment. Check
if the work environment is suitable by following the
precaution.
5. When mounting a bit into the keyless chuck, tighten the
sleeve adequately. If the sleeve is not tight, the bit may
slip or fall out, causing injury.
6. When changing the rotational speed with the shift knob,
confi rm that the switch is off . Changing the speed while
the motor is rotating will damage the gears.
7. The clutch dial cannot be set between the numerals
"1, 5, 10 ... 20" or the dots. Do not use with the clutch
dial numeral between "20" and the line at the middle of
the drill mark. Doing so may cause damage. (DS18DA
only)
8. Always use this unit with clockwise rotation, when using
it as impact drill. (DV18DA only)
9. Resting the unit after continuous work.
10. The motor may stop in the event the tool is overloaded. In
this should occur, release the tool's switch and eliminate
the cause of the overload.
11. The motor rotation may be locked to cease while the unit
is used as drill. While operating the driver drill, take care
not to lock the motor.
12. If motor is locked, immediately turn the power off . If the
motor is locked for a while, the motor or battery may be
burnt.
13. The use of the battery in a cold condition (below 0 degree
Centigrade) can sometimes result in the weakened
tightening torque and reduced amount of work. This,
however, is a temporary phenomenon, and returns to
normal when the battery warms up.
14. Do not look directly into the light. Such actions could
result in eye injury.
Wipe off any dirt or grime attached to the lens of the LED
light with a soft cloth, being careful not to scratch the
lens.
Scratches on the lens of the LED light can result in
decreased brightness.
