English 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 tools. 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.
Page 37
English h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second. Power tool use and care a) Do not force the power tool.
English 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.

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.
English 26. Always use the tool and battery at temperatures between -5°C and 40°C. CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with the protection function to stop the output. In the cases of 1 to 3 described below, when using this product, even if you are pulling the switch, the motor may stop.
Page 42
English 10. Do not immerse the battery or allow any fluids to flow inside. Conductive liquid ingress, such as water, can cause damage resulting in fire or explosion. Store your battery in a cool, dry place, away from combustible and flammable items. Corrosive gas atmospheres must be avoided.
English REGARDING LITHIUM-ION BATTERY TRANSPORTATION When transporting a lithium-ion battery, please observe the following precautions. WARNING Notify the transporting company that a package contains a lithium-ion battery, inform the company of its power output and follow the instructions of the transportation company when arranging transport.

English Insert the battery into the charger. Firmly insert the battery into the charger as shown in Fig. 8. Battery Charge indicator lamp Guide rail Fig. 8 Charging When inserting a battery in the charger, charging will commence and the charge indicator lamp will blink in blue.
Page 50
English NOTE If the red lamp continues to blink even after the charger has been attached, check to confirm that the battery has been fully inserted. Battery overheated. Unable to charge. Although charging will start once the battery has cooled down even when left in situ, the best practice is to remove the battery and allow it to cool down in a shaded, well-ventilated location before charging.

○ Please use the designated attachments which are listed in the operations manual and HiKOKI’s catalog. Accidents or injuries could result from not doing so. ○ Make sure to firmly install the socket in the anvil. If the socket is not firmly installed it might come out and cause injuries.
English HOW TO USE Check the rotational direction The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) by pushing the R-side of the pushing button. The L-side of the pushing button is pushed to turn the bit counterclockwise (See Fig. 14) (The marks are provided on the body).
Page 57
English WARNING When using the hook, hang up the power tool firmly not to drop accidentally. If the power tool is dropped, it may lead to an accident. CAUTION ○ When carrying the power tool with hooked to your waist belt, do not fit any bit to the tip of power tool.

English OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS Resting the unit after continuous work The power tool is equipped with a temperature protection circuit to protect the motor. Continuous work may cause the temperature of the unit to rise, activating the temperature protection circuit and automatically stopping operation. If this happens, allow the power tool to cool before resuming use.
English Tightening conditions The tightening torque differs according to the torque ratio; class, and length of bolts even when bolts with the same size threads are used. The tightening torque also differs according to the condition of the surface of workpiece through which the bolts are to be tightened.
