1. Attaching the dust adapter
(1) Remove the screw D4 × 16 in the chip guide and remove
the chip guide as shown in Fig. 26.
(2) Mount the dust adapter and secure with the screw
D4 × 16. (Fig. 27)
2. Removing the dust adapter
To remove the dust adapter, follow the procedure above
in reverse order.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the blades:
Continued use of dull or damaged blades will result in
reduced cutting efficiency and may cause overloading
of the motor. Sharpen or replace the blades as often as
necessary.
2. Handling:
CAUTION
The front base, rear base, and cutting depth control
knob are precisely machined to obtain specifically
high precision. If these parts are roughly handled
or subjected to heavy mechanical impact, it may
cause deteriorated precision and reduced cutting
performance. These parts must be handled with
particular care.
3. Inspecting the mounting screws:
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
4. Motor unit maintenance:
The motor winding is an important part of this tool.
Avoid damaging and be careful to avoid contact with
cleaning oiI or water. After 50 hours of use, clean the
motor by blowing into the ventilation holes of the motor
housing with dry air from an air gun or other tool (Fig.
30). Dust or particle accumulation in the motor can
result in damage.
5. Inspecting the carbon brushes: (Fig. 28)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brushes with new ones having the same carbon brush
No. shown in the figure when it becomes worn to or
near the "wear limit". In addition, always keep carbon
brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within
the brush holders.
6. Replacing carbon brushes:
After removing the chip cover, use a slotted screwdriver
to disassemble the brush caps (Fig. 29). The carbon
brushes can then be easily removed with the spring.
7. Replacing supply cord:
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, it
has to be done by HiKOKI Authorized Service Center to
avoid a safety hazard.
8. Replacing belt:
If the replacement of the belt is necessary, it has to be
done by HiKOKI Authorized Service Center to avoid a
safety hazard.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.

IMPORTANT
Correct connection of the plug
The wires of the main lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Blue:
-- Neutral
Brown: -- Live
As the colours of the wires in the main lead of this tool may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or coloured red.
Neither core must be connected to the earth terminal.
NOTE
This requirement is provided according to BRITISH
STANDARD 2769: 1984.
Therefore, the letter code and colour code may not be
applicable to other markets except The United Kingdom.
Information concerning airborne noise and vibration
The measured values were determined according to
EN62841 and declared in accordance with ISO 4871.
Measured A-weighted sound power level: 96 dB (A)
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 85 dB (A)
Uncertainty KpA: 3 dB (A)
Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN62841.
Planing softwood:
a
Vibration emission value
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s
2
The declared vibration total value has been measured in
accordance with a standard test method and may be used
for comparing one tool with another.
It may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING
○ The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared total value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used.
○ Identify safety measures to protect the operator that
are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual
conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
