Battery Removal/Installation; Functional Description - Hitachi Koki CG 10DL Bedienungsanleitung

BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

1. Battery removal
Hold the handle tightly and push the battery latch to
remove the battery (see Figs. 1 and 2).
CAUTION
Never short-circuit the battery.
2. Battery installation
Insert the battery while observing its polarities (see
Fig. 2).
CHARGING
Before using the power tool, charge the battery as follows.
1. Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle
2. Insert the battery in the charger
Position the battery so that the nameplate faces
toward the nameplate of the charger and press in the
battery until it comes into contact with the bottom
plate (See Fig. 3).
Inserting the battery will turn on 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.
CAUTION
If the battery is heated due to direct sunlight, etc., just
after operation, the charger pilot lamp may not light.
At that time cool the battery first, then start charging.
Regarding recharging time
Table 1 shows the recharging time required according
to the type of battery.
Table 1 Recharging time (approx. min.) at 20°C
Battery capacity (Ah)
BCL1015
NOTE: The recharging time may vary according to the
ambient temperature.
3. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle
4. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after
use, and then keep it.
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.
1.5 Ah
40 min.
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.
CAUTION
When the battery charger has been continuously used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.
If the battery charger does not work while the battery
is mounted correctly, it is probable that the battery or
charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized
Service Center.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

1. Battery Level Warning Lamp
The battery level can be checked by pulling the trigger
switch while the power tool is in a no-load state. The
battery level warning lamp lights when the battery power
is very low. If this happens, charge the battery. (Fig. 4)
NOTE
The level at which the battery level warning lamp lights
may vary due to the ambient temperature, characteristics
of the battery, etc. and is intended only as a guide.
The battery level warning lamp may light when the
power tool is overloaded. This does not mean that
the battery power is very low.
Be sure to check the battery level while the tool is in a
no-load state.
2. Lock Off button (Fig. 5)
WARNING
Never lock the Lock Off button in depressed position.
Pulling back the switch would then cause the tool to
suddenly start operating, which could result in injury.
The tool will not start unless the Lock Off button is
pressed while the switch is pulled back.
The Lock Off button can be engaged by pressing it
either from the right or left.
When the switch is released, the Lock Off button
automatically disengages to prevent inadvertent
motor startup.
3. Blade case (Fig. 6) ( Standard accessory with CH10DL
(CG), CH10DL)
When the shrub shear blade is to be attached to or
removed from the tool, or when the shear is not used,
place the blade in the blade case to prevent injury.
4. Blade cover (Fig. 7) (Standard accessory with CH10DL
(CG), CG10DL)
When the grass shear blade is to be attached to or
removed from the tool, or when the shear is not used,
place the blade in the blade cover to prevent injury.
5. Blade box (Fig. 8) (Standard accessory with CH10DL
(CG))
Place the shrub shear blade and the grass shear
blade in the blade box when they are not used.
Also place the crank cam (B) in the blade box to
prevent losing it.
