Caution On Lithium-Ion Battery - HIKOKI C 18DSL Instrucciones De Manejo

38. Values of the inclined gauge provided on the base merely
serve as a rough guideline. For cutting operation at an
inclined posture, use the circular saw after adjusting
the angle between the base and the saw blade with a
protractor, etc.
39. Pull out battery before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
40. Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the battery
installed to power tool while the switch is in the ON
position, the power tool will start operating immediately,
which could cause a serious accident.
41. If the main body is left as it is with the battery inserted,
there can be a case where the [switch lock] touches
the fl oor and/or wall surface and lights up continuously,
depending on the direction of the body. Be careful,
since continuous lighting can easily make a full-charged
battery go dead.
42. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside
down in a vise. This is extremely dangerous and can
lead to serious accidents (Fig. 11).
43. Keep the light ON during cutting operation only. If
it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch can
be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected
accidents.
44. Immediately after the light is turned OFF, the bulb retains
high temperature. Make sure to cool down the light bulb
thoroughly before replacing it so as to prevent burns.
45. When replacing the light bulb, check the shape of base
as well as the rating (12 V, 5 W), and then carry out
perfect mounting. Otherwise, the light bulb can come off
and/or cause overheat.
46. Check the exterior and ensure that there is no damage.
47. Use a saw blade with a displayed rotational speed equal
to or higher than the rotational speed of the tool.
48. Use a saw blade that suits each diff erent cutting material.
49. 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. This is not the trouble but the result of protection
function.
1. When the battery power remaining runs out, the motor
stops.
In such a case, charge it up immediately.
2. If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. In this
case, release the switch of tool and eliminate causes of
overloading. After that, you can use it again.
3. If the battery is overheated under overload work, the
battery power may stop.
In this case, stop using the battery and let the battery
cool. After that, you can use it again.
Furthermore, please heed the following warning and caution.
WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat generation,
smoke emission, explosion and ignition beforehand, please
be sure to heed the following precautions.
1. Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on the
battery.
○ During work make sure that swarf and dust do not fall on
the battery.
○ Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the power
tool during work do not collect on the battery.
○ Do not store an unused battery in a location exposed to
swarf and dust.
○ Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and dust that
may adhere to it and do not store it together with metal
parts (screws, nails, etc.).
2. Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a
nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw or subject the
battery to severe physical shock.
3. Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery.
4. Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.
5. Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets or car
cigarette lighter sockets.
6. Do not use the battery for a purpose other than those
specifi ed.
7. If the battery charging fails to complete even when a
specifi ed recharging time has elapsed, immediately stop
further recharging.
8. Do not put or subject the battery to high temperatures or
high pressure such as into a microwave oven, dryer, or
high pressure container.
9. Keep away from fi re immediately when leakage or foul
odor are detected.
10. Do not use in a location where strong static electricity
generates.
11. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat generated,
discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal
during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it
from the equipment or battery charger, and stop use.
12. Do not immerse the battery or allow any fl uids to fl ow
inside. Conductive liquid ingress, such as water, can
cause damage resulting in fi re or explosion. Store your
battery in a cool, dry place, away from combustible and
fl ammable items. Corrosive gas atmospheres must be
avoided.
CAUTION
1. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes,
do not rub your eyes and wash them well with fresh
clean water such as tap water and contact a doctor
immediately.
If left untreated, the liquid may cause eye-problems.
2. If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with
clean water such as tap water immediately.
There is a possibility that this can cause skin irritation.
3. If you fi nd rust, foul odor, overheating, discolor,
deformation, and/or other irregularities when using the
battery for the fi rst time, do not use and return it to your
supplier or vendor.
WARNING
If a conductive foreign matter enters in the terminal of lithium
ion battery, the battery may be shorted, causing fi re. When
storing the lithium ion battery, obey surely the rules of
following contents.
○ Do not place conductive debris, nail and wires such as
iron wire and copper wire in the storage case.
○ To prevent shorting from occurring, load the battery in
the tool or insert securely the battery cover for storing
until the ventilator is not seen.
