CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Cutting procedures
a) ⚠️ DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off -centre, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
it^- kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
- when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
- if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.
Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
English
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making the cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Lower guard function
a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.
If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released.
For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
- Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for connecting the rechargeable battery.
- Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and charger.
- Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.
- Do not dispose of the battery in fire. If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
- When using this unit continuously, the unit may overheat, leading to damage in the motor and switch. Please leave it without using it for approximately 15 minutes.
- Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the charger. Inserting metal objects or inflammables into the charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock hazard or damaged charger.
- Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.
- Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted battery.
- Wear earplugs to protect your ears during operation.
- Use only blade diameter specified on the machine.

- Do not use saw blades which are deformed or cracked.
-
Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
-
Do not use saw blades which do not comply with the characteristics specified in these instructions.
- Do not stop the saw blades by lateral pressure on the disc.
- Always keep the saw blades sharp.
- Ensure that the lower guard moves smoothly and freely.
- Never use the circular saw with its lower guard fixed in the open position.
- Ensure that the retraction mechanism of the guard system operates correctly.
- Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade turned upward or to the side.
- Ensure that the material is free of foreign matters such as nails.
- The saw blades range should be from 185 mm to 180 mm.
- Pull out battery before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
- Be careful of brake kickback.
This circular saw features an electric brake that functions when the switch is released. As there is some kickback when the brake functions, be sure to hold the main body securely. - Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specified on the product nameplate.
- Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the battery installed to power tool while the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately, which could cause a serious accident.
- When the work area is removed from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
- Avoid cutting in the state where the base has floated up from the material.
When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or KICKBACK may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding. - Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight (Fig. 3). Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel as shown in Fig. 2.
To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the work piece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off. - Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.
NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the saw (Fig. 4). If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over your hand, possibly causing severe injury. - WARNING: It is important to support the work piece properly and to hold the saw fi rmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. Fig. 5 illustrates typical hand support of the saw.
-
Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the work piece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples, Fig. 6 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of board, and Fig. 7 the WRONG way. If the work piece is short or small, clamp is down.
DON'T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PLACES BY HAND! -
Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside down in a vise. This is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious accidents (Fig. 8).
-
When using the guide, do not attempt an inclined cut which would allow the cut material to slip between the saw blade and guide. Doing so could result in injury. (Fig. 9, 10)
-
Should lever remain loosened, it will create a very hazardous situation. Always thoroughly clamp it. (Fig. 14)
-
It is very hazardous to allow lever to remain loosened. Always thoroughly clamp it. (Fig. 25)
-
Prior to cutting operation, make sure the material you are going to cut. If the material to be cut is expected to generate harmful / toxic dusts, make sure the dust bag or appropriate dust extraction system is connected with dust outlet tightly.
Wear the dust mask additionally, if available.
Before starting to saw, confirm that the saw blade has attained full-speed revolution.
- Should the saw blade stop or make an abnormal noise while operating, promptly turn OFF the switch.
○ Using the circular saw with the saw blade facing upwards or sideways is very hazardous. Such uncommon applications should be avoided.

In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.
When the pilot 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 charger 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.
☐ If the pilot lamp does not blink in red (every second) even though the charger cord is connected to the power, it indicates that the protection circuit of the charger may be activated.
Remove the cord or plug from the power and then connect it again after 30 seconds or so. If this does not cause the pilot lamp to blink in red (every second), please take the charger to the HiKOKI Authorized Service Center.

(*1) About the mode select function
Each time the mode selector switch is pushed, the operation mode changes.
When Silent mode is selected, the Silent mode indicator lamp lights up.
Silent mode reduces maximum motor RPM enabling efficient work with less noise.
If the load increases while the motor is operating in Silent mode, it automatically changes to Power mode.
Additionally, if the load decreases again, it automatically returns to Silent mode.
In Power mode, no change is made to Silent mode even when the load decreases.
| Mode | No-load speed |
| Power | 5000 min-1 |
| Silent | 3000 min ^-1 |
NOTE
☐ The mode will only change after a battery is installed and the switch is pulled once.
☐ The current mode will be maintained even if the switch is on/off, or the battery is removed/reinserted.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Since use of as dull saw blade will degrade efficiency and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace the saw blade as soon as abrasion is noted.
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. Maintenance of lower guard
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and ventilation slots clean. The lower guard must always be able to more freely and retract automatically. Therefore, always keep the area around the lower guard clean. Remove dust and chips by blowing out with compressed air or with a brush.
5. Cleaning on the outside
When the power tool 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
Storing in a place below 40^ C and out of the 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 m 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 modified (such as disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal parts).
GUARANTEE
We guarantee HiKOKI Power Tools in accordance with statutory/country specific 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 EN62841 and declared in accordance with ISO 4871.
Measured A-weighted sound power level: 100 dB (A)
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 89 dB (A)
Uncertainty K: 3 dB (A).
Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN62841.
Cutting chipboard:
Vibration emission value a_h = 1.9 m/s^2
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s ^4
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 differ 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 specifications herein are subject to change without prior notice.
