MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the depressed center wheel
Ensure that the depressed center wheel is free of cracks
and surface defects.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 12)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since and excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brush with new ones when it becomes worn to or near
the "wear limit" ⓐ. In addition, always keep carbon
brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely whithin
the brush holders.
NOTE
When replacing the carbon brush with a new one, be
sure to use the HiKOKI Carbon Brush Code No. 999101.
5. Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 12)
Take out the carbon brush by fi rst removing the brush
cap and then hooking the protrusion of the carbon brush
with a fl at head screw driver, etc.
When installing the carbon brush, choose the direction
so that the nail ⓑ of the carbon brush agrees with the
contact portion ⓒ outside the brush tube. Then push it in
with a fi nger. Lastly, install the brush cap.
CAUTION
Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon brush
into the contact portion outside the brush tube. (You can
insert whichever one of the two nails provided).
Caution must be exercised since any error in this
operation can result in the deformed nail of the carbon
brush and may cause motor trouble at an early stage.
6. 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.
7. Cleaning on the outside
When the cordless disc grinder 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.
8. Cleaning the fi lter
After use, remove any grime or dust from the fi lter with an
airgun or other tool.
9. Storage
Store the cordless disc grinder 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
EN60745 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 K : 3 dB (A).
Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN60745.
Surface grinding:
Vibration emission value
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s
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 diff er from the declared total value depending in
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).
NOTE
Due to HiKOKI's continuing program of research and
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
