1. Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle
Connecting the power cord will turn on the charger.
2. Insert the battery into the charger
Insert the battery firmly while observing its direction,
until it contacts the bottom of the charger (the pilot
lamp lights up).
CAUTION
If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the
power cord from the receptacle and check the
battery mounting condition.
The pilot lamp goes off to indicate that the battery is
fully charged.
The battery charging time becomes longer when a
temperature is low or the voltage of the power source
is too low.
When the pilot lamp does not go off even if more than
120 minutes have elapsed after starting of the
charging, stop the charging and contact your HITACHI
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
CAUTION
If the battery is heated due to direct sunlight, etc.,
just after operation, the charger pilot lamp may
not light up. At that time, cool the battery first,
then start charging.
3. Disconnect the charger power cord from the
receptacle
4. Hold the charger tight and pull out the battery
Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an extended
period is not activated, the electric discharge might
be low when using them the first and second time.
This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time
required for recharging will be restored by recharging
the batteries 2 – 3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery
and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Preparing and checking the work environment
Make sure that the work site meets all the conditions
laid forth in the precautions.
2. Checking the battery
Make sure that the battery is installed firmly. If it is at
all loose it could come off and cause an accident.
3. Dust produced in operation
The dust produced in normal operation may affect
the operator's health. Either of following way is
recommended.
11
a) Wear a dust mask
b) Use external dust collection equipment
When using the external dust collection equipment,
connect the adapter with the hose from external dust
collection equipment. (Fig. 19)
4. Changing blades
(1) Open the lever up to the stop. (Fig. 2-arrow I)
(2) Remove fitted blade.
(3) Insert new blade up to the stop in the blade holder.
(Fig. 2-arrow II)
(4) Close the lever. (Fig. 2-arrow III)
CAUTION:
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the
battery from the body when changing blades.
Do not open the lever when plunger is moving.
NOTE:
Confirm the protrusions of blade inserted to the blade
holder surely. (Fig. 3)
Confirm the blade located between the groove of
roller. (Fig. 4)
5. Adjusting the orbital operation
(1) This Jig Saw employs orbital operation which moves
the blade back and forth, as well as up and down. Set
the change knob shown in Fig. 7 to "0" to eliminate
the orbital operation (the blade moves only up and
down). The orbital operation can be selected in 4 steps
from "0" to "III".
(2) For the hard material, such as a steel plate, etc.,
decrease the orbital operation. For the soft material,
such as lumber, plastic, etc., increase the orbital
operation to increase work efficiency. To cut the
material accurately, decrease the orbital operation.
6. Cutting stainless steel plates
This Jig Saw can cut stainless steel plates by using
No. 97 blade. Carefully read "Concerning cutting of
stainless steel plates" for proper operation.
7. Splinter guard
Using the splinter guard when cutting wood materials
will reduce splintering of cut surfaces.
Insert the splinter guard in the space on the base, and
push it completely. (See Fig. 8)
8. Chip cover
Chip cover prevents chips from flying off and
improves the efficiency of dust collector.
Insert the chip cover between the base and lever, and
push with a slight pressure until it catches in place.
(Fig. 9)
When removing chip cover, hold both sides of knob
and slightly open until it can be removed from the Jig
Saw. (Fig. 10)
NOTE:
There is a possibility that chip cover is frosted when
cutting the metal.
9. Sub base
Using the sub base (made from steel) will reduce
abrasion of aluminium base especially in cutting
metals.
Using the sub base (made from resin) will reduce
scratching of cut surface. Attach the sub base to the
bottom surface of base by attached 4 screws.
10. Lighting up the lamp
To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger.
Release the trigger to turn off.
CAUTION:
Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly.
