Safety Warnings

General Power Tool Safety: Always keep the work area clean and well-lit. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres. Keep children and bystanders away. Use personal protective equipment, including eye protection. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting the battery pack.

Battery Tool Safety: Use only the charger specified by the manufacturer. Using other battery packs may create a risk of fire or injury. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact occurs, flush with water.

Operation

Before using the tool, ensure the battery is fully charged. Insert the battery firmly into the tool. Use the auxiliary handle if supplied for better control. When drilling, ensure the area is free of hidden obstructions like electrical wiring or pipes. Secure the workpiece using clamps or a vice.

Maintenance and Inspection

• Tool Inspection: Regularly inspect the tool for dull bits, which can degrade efficiency and cause motor malfunction. Sharpen or replace bits as needed.
• Mounting Screws: Periodically check all mounting screws to ensure they are properly tightened.
• Motor Maintenance: Keep the motor winding clean and free from oil or water.
• Carbon Brushes: Inspect carbon brushes regularly. Replace them when they reach or approach the wear limit. Use only genuine HiKOKI carbon brushes (Code No. 999054).
• Cleaning: Wipe the tool with a soft, dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use solvents like gasoline or paint thinner, as they can melt plastic parts.

Troubleshooting and Storage

If the motor stops during operation, it may be due to the protection function triggered by overload or overheating. Release the switch and eliminate the cause before resuming work. Store the tool in a place where the temperature is below 40°C and out of reach of children. Ensure the battery is fully charged before long-term storage.

Disposal

Do not dispose of electric tools together with household waste. In accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC, used electric tools must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
