English Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 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.

English Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. 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.
English This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off -centre, causing loss of control.
English If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback. Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS WITH INNER PENDULUM GUARD Lower guard function: Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use.

English Charging When inserting a battery in the charger, charging will commence and the charge indicator lamp will blink in blue. When the battery becomes fully recharged, the charge indicator lamp will light up in green. (See Table 2) Charge indicator lamp indication The indications of the charge indicator lamp will be as shown in Table 2, according to the condition of the charger or the rechargeable battery.
Page 59
English ○ When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 5 minutes rest until the next charging. Regarding the temperatures and charging time of the battery (See Table 3) Table 3 Model UC18YSL3...

English Prepare a wooden work bench (Fig. 16) Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface of the lumber, place the lumber on a work bench when cutting. If a square block is utilized as a work bench, select level ground to ensure it is properly stabilized.
English When not in use, return the hook back to the storage position until it latches against the saw body. ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE WARNING To avoid serious accident, ensure the switch is in the OFF position, and pull out the battery.
○ Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material being sawn. ○ Use only genuine HiKOKI saw blades. Saw blades intended for cutting wood or similar materials have to conform to EN 847-1. ○ Use only blade diameter specified on the product nameplate.
Page 66
English ○ Avoid cutting any material like metal, etc., that give off sparks. CAUTION ○ 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.
