Frequently Asked Questions - RP3608DB HiKOKI

How to clean the vacuum cleaner filter?
To maintain suction power, frequently remove dust from the dust filter and pre-filter. Gently tap to remove dust or use compressed air. For deep cleaning, wash the dust filter with water once a month, then dry it completely before reuse.
Why is suction power low?
Possible causes: full tank, clogged filter or plastic bag incorrectly installed. Empty the tank, clean the filter and check that the plastic bag is properly positioned. If the problem persists, check that the filter is properly in place.
How to pair the vacuum cleaner with a cordless power tool?
Set the vacuum cleaner to Auto mode using the Auto/Manual switch. Then press the wireless linking switch on the compatible power tool. The indicators flash then remain lit once the connection is established. The effective range is approximately 10 m.
What to do if the battery does not charge?
First check that the battery is properly inserted in the charger and that the charger is plugged in. If the indicator flashes purple, there may be a foreign object on the terminals. If the indicator flashes red, the battery may be overheating; let it cool down. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.
Can I vacuum liquids with this vacuum cleaner?
No, this vacuum cleaner is designed for dry use only. Vacuuming liquids can damage the motor and cause electric shock. Use it only for collecting dry dust.
How to empty the tank?
Turn off the vacuum and remove the battery. Open the clamping collars, lift the tank head. For dry dust, tilt the tank to empty it. If using a plastic bag, carefully remove it after detaching the pre-filter. Wear a dust mask and follow local regulations.
The vacuum suddenly stops during use, what to do?
This may be due to overload or overheating of the battery or motor. Release the switch, remove the battery and let the device cool down. If the tank is full or the filter is clogged, empty and clean. If the problem persists, contact an authorized repairer.
How to check the battery level?
The battery level can be checked on the battery itself (press the indicator button) or on the vacuum control panel. The LED indicators show the level: 75% (one blink), 50-75%, 25-50%, less than 25% (rapid blinking). Recharge as soon as possible below 25%.
How to use automatic mode (Auto)?
Press the Auto/Manual switch until the Auto indicator lights up. In Auto mode, the vacuum synchronizes with a power tool connected via Bluetooth: it starts and stops automatically with the tool. If no tool is connected, the unit turns off after 2 hours of inactivity.
Which battery to use with the HiKOKI RP3608DB vacuum cleaner?
Only use multi-volt batteries from the BSL36A18 or BSL36B18 series. Older batteries (BSL3660, BSL18xx, BSL14xx) are not compatible. Using other batteries may cause accidents and voids the warranty.

NOTE

The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature and power source voltage.

4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the receptacle.

5. 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

☐ If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.

When the charge indicator lamp flickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger's battery connector. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

○ Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3 seconds to confirm that the battery being charged with UC18YSL3 is taken out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds before reinserting it to continue charging. If the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery may not be properly charged.

PRIOR TO OPERATION
