Maintenance And Inspection - Hitachi G18DBAL Instructions De Sécurité Et Mode D'emploi

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING:
1. Replacing the depressed center wheel
Replace the depressed center wheel when it has
been worn out to about 2-3/8" (60mm) in external
diameter. Confirm that there is no crack or any
damage to the depressed center wheel. If there is
a crack or a transformation in the wheel, replace it
immediately.
2. Check the Screws
Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them
and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION
Using this power tool with loosened screws is
extremely dangerous.
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. Check for Dust
Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth
dampened with soapy water.
Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for
they may damage the plastics.
5. Disposal of the exhausted battery
WARNING
Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The
battery must explode if it is incinerated. The
product that you have purchased contains a
rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable.
At the end of it's useful life, under various state
and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of
this battery into the municipal waste stream.
Check with your local solid waste officials for
details in your area for recycling options or
proper disposal.
6. Storage
Storing in a place below 104°F (40°C) and out of the
reach of children.
NOTE
Make sure that the battery is fully charged when
stored for a long period (3 months or more). The
battery with smaller capacity may not be able to be
charged when used, if stored for a long period.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Be sure to turned off the switch and pull out the battery.
Using cracked, deformed or damaged wheels can lead to wheel breakage and
resulting serious injury.
Prolonged storage 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, significantly 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.
7. Service and repairs
All quality power tools will eventually require servicing
or replacement of parts because of wear from normal
use. To assure that only authorized replacement
parts will be used, all service and repairs must be
performed by a HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER, ONLY.
8. Service parts list
CAUTION
Repair, modification and inspection of Hitachi
Power Tools must be carried out by an Hitachi
Authorized Service Center.
This Parts List will be helpful if presented with
the tool to the Hitachi Authorized Service Center
when requesting repair or other maintenance. In
the operation and maintenance of power tools,
the safety regulations and standards prescribed
in each country must be observed.
MODIFICATIONS
