TROUBLESHOOTING
Use the inspections in the table below if the tool does not operate normally. If this does not remedy the problem, consult your
dealer or the HiKOKI Authorized Service Center.
1. Power tool
Symptom
Tool does not operate.
Tool does not trim well.
Tool suddenly stopped
Battery cannot be installed
Possible cause
No remaining battery power
The battery has not been properly
installed.
Foreign matter is lodged in the
blade.
The tool has been used for heavy
work.
The blade has become dull.
The blade stopped because it
was used to cut a branch whose
width exceeded the blade's cutting
capacity.
NOTE
Work that will repeatedly cause
the blade to stop will eventually
damage the motor.
Tool was overburdened
The battery is overheated.
Attempting to install a battery other

Remedy
Charge the battery.
Remove the storage battery from the battery
compartment in the tool and check for foreign
matter. Also check the battery electrodes for
soiling. Make sure that the battery is pressed in
until it clicks into place.
When there is foreign matter in the blade,
remove the battery and use a pair of tongs or
similar tool to remove it.
Take great care since the tool may start
operating when the foreign matter has been
removed.
Sap or rust may also prevent the blade from
operating. Use a wire brush or similar tool to
remove sap or rust.
This is the eff ect of a function that protects the
battery by turning off the motor when the tool
is exposed to an excessive load. Release the
switch and remove what caused the excessive
load and pull back the switch to resume work.
Use a wire brush or other tool to remove sap
and rust and use a fi le or whetstone to sharpen
the blade. If these eff orts fail to make the blade
sharper, the blade has reached the end of its
service life. Replace the blade with a new one.
Some garden trees have wood that is very hard
and may be beyond the capacity of the tool even
if it is of a width that is within normal capacity.
Use a pair of pruning shear to remove thick
branches before starting work.
An oblique cut may also exceed the capacity of
the tool since the length of the cut increases. Be
sure to trim thick branches at right angles.
Get rid of the problem causing the overburden.
Let the battery cool down.
Please install a multi volt type battery.
