Safety Guidelines

Always prioritize safety when operating power tools. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection. Ensure the work area is clean, well-lit, and free of flammable materials. Never reach underneath the workpiece while cutting, and always keep hands away from the blade area. Maintain a firm grip with both hands and position your body to avoid potential kickback. Before starting, ensure the lower guard moves freely and the blade is sharp and correctly installed.

Operation and Maintenance

To operate, ensure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted. Adjust the cutting depth and angle as required before beginning your cut. After use, remove the battery and store the tool in a cool, dry place. Regular maintenance is crucial for longevity: inspect the saw blade for wear, ensure all mounting screws are tight, and keep the motor ventilation holes clean using dry air. The carbon brushes are consumable parts and should be replaced when worn to the limit mark.

Battery Care

Use only designated HiKOKI batteries and chargers. Avoid charging in high temperatures or leaving batteries in areas exposed to swarf and dust, as this can cause short circuits. If the tool stops due to overload or overheating, release the switch and allow the unit to cool before resuming work. For long-term storage, ensure the battery is fully charged to prevent performance deterioration.

Troubleshooting

If the tool fails to operate, check the battery charge and installation. If the saw does not cut well, inspect the blade for damage or incorrect installation. For issues with inclination, ensure the wing bolts are properly loosened. If problems persist, consult an authorized service center.
