Frequently Asked Questions - CH 10DL HITACHI

What is the cutting capacity of the CH 10DL hedge trimmer?

The hedge trimmer can cut branches up to 8 mm thick. For thicker branches, use pruning shears before using the tool.

Can I use the battery with other Hitachi tools?

Yes, the BCL1015 battery is compatible with other Hitachi tools in the same 10.8 V range. Always check compatibility in the tool's manual.

How to charge the battery correctly?

Plug the UC10SFL charger into a power outlet, insert the battery into the charger (the indicator light turns on), and wait until it turns off (approx. 40 min). Do not charge at temperatures below 0°C or above 40°C.

What to do if the battery does not charge?

Check that the plug is connected, the battery is properly inserted, and the contacts are clean. If the battery is hot, let it cool down. If the problem persists, contact an authorized Hitachi service center.

How to maintain the hedge trimmer blade?

Clean the blade after each use, lubricate it with machine oil (e.g., sewing machine oil) every hour of use, and sharpen it approximately once a year with a fine file.

Can I use the tool in the rain?

No, never expose the tool to rain or damp conditions. This increases the risk of electric shock. Use it only in dry weather.

How to change the blade from hedge trimmer to grass shear?

Stop the tool and remove the battery. Wear gloves, remove the four screws of the bottom plate, take off the old blade, install the new blade by aligning the crank cam, then screw back. Refer to the manual for details.

Why does my tool suddenly stop?

This may be due to overload (branch too thick) or thermal protection of the battery. Release the switch, remove the overload cause or let the battery cool down, then reuse.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in fl ammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

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)
1.5 Ah
BCL1015	40 min.

NOTE: The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature.

1. 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.

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.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING

• Be sure to turn the tool off and remove the battery from the tool before making inspections or carrying out maintenance.
  Do not disassemble to blade. Failure to heed this warning may result in injury.

○ Use gloves, or cloth to protect your hands when handling the blade. Failure to heed this warning may result in injury.

1. Sharpening the blade (Fig. 19)

Move an iron file in the direction of the arrow for a rough sharpening then use an oil stone to give the blade a good fi nish.

(1) Use a fine iron file or one of intermediate coarseness.
(2) Coat the oil stone with machine oil (bicycle oil or the like).
(3) Use a whetstone to gently remove any burrs from the back of the blade edge.

When to sharpen the blade

While this will vary the type of trees that are trimmed and how often it is used, it is a good idea to sharpen the blade about once a year to maintain a sharp edge.

NOTE

Do not use water for cleaning the blade to prevent rust or other damage.

2. Lubricating the blade

During trimming, sap adhering to the blade edge will increase load and wear down the battery more rapidly. Use machine oil (or bicycle oil or the like) to lubricate the blade and wipe the blade with a cloth. To prevent the blade from rusting, be sure to lubricate the blade after use and when it will not be used for an extended period of time before placing it in the blade case.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Cleaning on the outside

When the driver drill 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.

6. Storage

Store the power tool 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 five times.

If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.
