1. Sharpening the blade (Fig. 10)
Move an iron fi le in the direction of the arrow for a rough
sharpening then use an oil stone to give the blade a good
fi nish.
(1) Use a fi ne iron fi le or one of intermediate coarseness.
(2) Coat the oil stone with machine oil (bicycle oil or the like).
(3) Use a whetstone to gently remove any burrs from the
back of the blade edge.
When to sharpen the blade
While this will vary the type of trees that are trimmed and
how often it is used, it is a good idea to sharpen the blade
about once a year to maintain a sharp edge.
NOTE
Do not use water for cleaning the blade to prevent rust or
other damage.
2. Lubricating the blade
During trimming, sap adhering to the blade edge will
increase load and wear down the battery more rapidly.
Use machine oil (or bicycle oil or the like) to lubricate the
blade and wipe the blade with a cloth. To prevent the
blade from rusting, be sure to lubricate the blade after
use and when it will not be used for an extended period
of time before placing it in the blade case.
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. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
5. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
CAUTION
Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on
the terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
6. Cleaning on the outside
When the hedge trimmer is stained, wipe with a soft dry
cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use
chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt
plastics.
7. Transport of the tool
Remove the battery and attach the blade case to the
blade before carrying this tool.
If you carry it without the blade case, the blade may
come in contact with your body, causing injury.
8. Storage
Store the power tool and battery in a place in which
the temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of
children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
Important notice on the batteries for the HiKOKI
cordless power tools
Please always use one of our designated genuine
batteries. We cannot guarantee the safety and
performance of our cordless power tool when used with
batteries other than these designated by us, or when
the battery is disassembled and modifi ed (such as
disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal
parts).
GUARANTEE
We guarantee HiKOKI Power Tools in accordance with
statutory/country specifi c regulation. This guarantee does
not cover defects or damage due to misuse, abuse, or
normal wear and tear. In case of complaint, please send
the Power Tool, undismantled, with the GUARANTEE
CERTIFICATE found at the end of this Handling instruction,
to a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center.
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: 91 dB (A)
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 83 dB (A)
Uncertainty K: 3 dB (A).
Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN62841.
No load:
a
h = 2.2 m/s
, Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s
2
The declared vibration total value and the declared noise
emission value have been measured in accordance with a
standard test method and may be used for comparing one
tool with another.
They may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING
○ The vibration and noise emission during actual use
of the power tool can diff er from the declared total
value depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed; and
○ 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).
NOTE
Due to HiKOKI's continuing program of research and
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
