Product Overview
The HiKOKI CR 10DL is a 10.8V cordless reciprocating saw engineered for versatility and ease of use.

Safety Precautions
Always follow general power tool safety warnings. Keep the work area clean and well-lit, avoid explosive atmospheres, and keep children away. Use personal protective equipment, including eye protection. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery. Always hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing operations where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Operation
To operate, ensure the battery is firmly installed. Use the switch to control the speed. For best results, select the appropriate blade length for the material being cut. Press the base firmly against the workpiece during operation. If the motor locks, switch it off immediately. When cutting metal, use machine oil or grease to extend blade life.
Battery and Charging
The tool uses a lithium-ion battery. The charger indicates status via a pilot lamp: blinking red means before charging, solid red means charging, and blinking red after charging indicates completion. If the battery is overheated, the pilot lamp will blink in a specific pattern; allow it to cool before charging. Always use genuine HiKOKI batteries.
Maintenance and Inspection
Regularly inspect the blade and mounting screws. Keep the motor winding clean and free of oil or water. Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth or soapy water. Store the tool in a cool, dry place out of reach of children. If the battery usage time becomes extremely short, it may be at the end of its life.
