Frequently Asked Questions - CL14DSL HiKOKI

How to charge the battery of the CL14DSL?

Plug the UC18YFSL charger into a mains socket. Insert the battery into the charger. The indicator lamp flashes red during charging and goes out (flashes slowly) when charging is complete. Charging takes between 45 and 90 minutes depending on battery capacity. Use only HiKOKI BSL14xx batteries.

What types of screws can be cut with the CL14DSL?

This tool is designed to cut mild steel threaded screws in the following dimensions: M10×1.5; M8×1.25; M6×1 and W3/8"×1.5875. Do not cut brass, stainless steel, or hardened steel screws, as this would damage the cutter.

How to replace the cutter?

Ensure the battery is removed. Open the cutter to the open position with the switch, then lock with the direction button. Use the hex key to unscrew the bolt. Remove the cutter and spacer. Place a new cutter in the correct direction (the notch must be visible on the moving holder). Replace the spacer if necessary (M6/M8/M10). Tighten the bolt firmly. The 4 edges of the cutter can be used by turning the blade.

What to do if the battery runs out during cutting and the screw gets stuck?

If the motor stops, push the forward/reverse direction button to reverse (Fig. 4(c)) while pulling the switch. The motor rotates in reverse to release the screw. As soon as the cutter is free, release the switch immediately. Hold the tool firmly to prevent the screw from falling.

How to use the supplied deburring tool?

After cutting, insert the threaded screw into the hole of the deburring tool. Hold the screw with pliers and turn the deburring tool 5 to 6 times to the right to remove burrs, then turn in reverse to remove it. The deburring tool is specific to screws cut with this cutter; it cannot remove burrs from a hacksaw.

How to adjust the threaded screw guide?

Turn the calibration dial to align the mark (triangle) with the dimension of the screw to be cut (M10, M8, M6 or W3/8). Incorrect adjustment may deform the screw or damage the tool. The guide prevents tilting of the screw during cutting.

Can I cut stainless steel screws with the CL14DSL?

No, this tool is designed only for mild steel threaded screws. Use on stainless steel or brass can deform the thread and damage the cutter. Always use the dimensions specified in the manual.

How to extend battery life?

Recharge the battery before it is completely empty. Avoid charging a hot battery; let it cool after use. Store the charged battery in a cool place (< 40°C). Do not leave the battery fully discharged for more than 3 months, otherwise performance may deteriorate.

What does rapid flashing of the charger indicator mean?

Rapid flashing (0.1 second on, 0.1 second off) indicates a battery or charger fault. Check that the contacts are clean and no foreign objects obstruct the slots. If the problem persists, contact an authorized repairer.

How to store the tool after use?

Clean the cutter and surfaces with a brush. Wipe the exterior with a soft dry cloth. Remove the battery and store it separately. Place the tool in the supplied case in a dry, frost-free place (temperature < 40°C). For long-term storage, ensure the battery is charged.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CORDLESS STUD CUTTER

1. Never bring the cutter near your fingers when operating the switch.

2. Do not use for cutting screws other than soft steel studs. This tool is designed especially for cutting of soft steel studs. Using this tool for brass or stainless steel screws could cause distortions in the screw threads, thereby preventing insertion of nuts.

Never use to cut tempered bolts, screws of differing sizes, reinforcing rods, etc.

1. Use by changing the special cutters according to the size of the studs. Cutting with cutters of the wrong size could damage to the continuous thread studs or the cutter edges.

2. Make sure that the threads on the studs and those on the cutter are correctly meshed before starting to cut. Cutting when the threads are not meshed could cause damage to the studs and the cutter.

3. If the cutter has been attached in the wrong direction or the bolt for cutter attachment is loose, this could cause damage to the cutter edge and could lead to premature damage to the main unit.

Be very careful to attach the cutter correctly.

1. Cutting studs at short lengths of 10 millimeters or less will create an insufficient meshing length between the cutter and studs, thus causing damage to the cutter. Always cut at lengths of more than 10 millimeters.

2. When cutting studs secured to narrow locations, be sure that there is at least 8 millimeters between the stud and the surrounding materials.

If the distance is less than 8 millimeters the cutter could contact the surrounding materials, thereby causing damage to the cutter and the main unit.

1. When inspecting, cleaning or replacing the cutter, be sure to remove the battery from the main unit. The switch could be turned on accidentally, thereby causing accidents.

2. When using this equipment at heights, make doubly sure prior to use that there is no one standing in the area immediately below you. Place the tool in a safe and stable place when not using at the moment.

3. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 0 - 40^ . A temperature of less than 0^ will result in over charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot be charged at a temperature greater than 40^ . The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20 - 25^ .

4. Do not use the charger continuously.

When one charging is completed, leave the charger for about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.

1. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for connecting the rechargeable battery.

2. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and s charger.

3. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Short-circuiting the battery will cause a great electric current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.

4. Do not dispose of the battery in fire.

NOTE

The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source voltage.

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

2. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery. NOTE

After operation, pull out batteries from the charger first, and then keep the batteries properly.

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 is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp map light in green.

The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.

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

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Preparing and checking the work environment

Make sure that the work site meets all the conditions laid forth in the precautions.

1. Checking the battery

Make sure that the battery is installed firmly. If it is at all loose it could come off and cause an accident.

1. Setting the forward/reverse switching button

(1) Push the forward/reverse switching button from the right as shown in Fig. 4 (a). Cutting is possible.

(2) By setting the forward/reverse switching button in the lock position as shown in Fig. 4 (b), the motor will not operate even if the trigger switch is pulled. When carrying or storing the main unit or when stopping operations, set the forward/reverse switching button to the lock position (Fig. 4 (b)).

(3) Push the forward/reverse switching button from the left as shown in Fig. 4 (c). With the button held down, pull the trigger switch so that the cutter can be removed from the stud. Only set to this position if the rechargeable battery is worn out and the unit stops operating during cutting. Immediately turn off the switch after the cutter has been removed from the stud.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to cut in the reverse position (Fig. 4 (c)). If you attempt to cut in this position, there will be an overload on the motor and cutting will not be possible. Never apply excessive force to the main unit as this can cause damage to the unit.

1. Check the cutter size, attachment direction, attachment bolt and spacer

(1) The cutter size differs according to the size of the studs to be cut. Make sure that a cutter is attached that conforms to the size of the studs to be cut.

(2) Cutter attachment includes directionality. Make sure that the cutter has been attached so that the side without the notch on the cutter can be seen on bracket (A) (movable side) when the main unit is viewed from the front or that the notch on the cutter surface can be seen on bracket (B) (fi xed side).

(3) Use the accessory hexagonal wrench to insure that the hex. socket hd. bolt for attaching the cutter is securely tightened (Fig. 5). Using the equipment while the bolt is loose could cause damage to the main unit and cutter.

(4) Depending on the size of the studs it may be necessary to attach special spacers to the cutter.

① When using the M10, M8 or M6 cutter

Check and confirm that the accessory M6, M8 or M10 spacers are correctly inserted respectively between bracket (A) and the cutter and bracket (B) and the cutter (Fig. 5).

CAUTION

If the spacers are not attached or if spacers of the wrong size are used, the threads of the cutter and the studs will not properly mesh, thereby causing damage to the studs and the cutter edge. Be sure to attach spacers correctly.

② When using the W3/8" cutter

No spacers are required. Check and confirm that only the cutter is attached.

For details, refer to the section on "Cutter life and replacement".

5. Correctly insert the stud guide

The stud guide is used to prevent tilting during cutting of studs. Correctly adjust the dial calibration to the mark (△) depending on the size of the stud to be cut (Fig. 6). CAUTION

If the size of the stud and the dial position to do not agree, the cut section may be subjected to burrs or its shape may be distorted, which may result in damage to the main unit.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION

• Never bring the cutter near your fingers when operating the trigger switch.
  When cutting short studs, take caution as to not place your fingers in the space between the short stud and main unit, such as the guard section (see Fig. 7), battery, etc.
  ○ After cutting, the cut section of the stud is very sharp and therefore dangerous. Be very careful when handling the stud.

1. Normal Cutting Method

(1) Pull the trigger switch and move bracket (A), stopping with the cutter in the open position shown in Fig. 7.
(2) As shown in Fig. 8, set the stud to be cut in the cutter on the bracket (B) side, making sure that the threads correctly mesh with each other.
(3) While maintaining the stud in a horizontal position, pull the trigger switch all the way to cut the stud (Fig. 7).
(4) After cutting turn off the switch with bracket (A) facing directly upward. The unit stops with the cutter in the open position, thus making it easier to proceed to the next operation.

2. Number of cuttings (per battery charging)

Refer to the chart below for the number of cuttings per battery charging.

Table 3

Battery M10 M8 M6 W3/8”
BSL1430	660	1020	1520	740
BSL1440	880	1360	2020	980
BSL1450	1100	1700	2520	1220
BSL1830	790	1220	1820	920
BSL1840	1050	1620	2420	1220
BSL1850	1310	2020	3020	1520

The number of cuttings can also vary somewhat according to the ambient temperature, characteristics of the battery and the condition of the cutter.

3. Cutting fixed lengths (Fig. 9)

When cutting several studs to the same length, using the equipment in the following way will making cutting operations more efficient.

(1) First cut one stud to the required length, and then use it as a fixed length guide.
(2) Insert the stud used as a fixed length guide in the stud attachment hole found on the main unit stud guide and use the hexagonal bar wrench to tighten and secure the hex. socket hd. bolt. Adjust at this time so that the distance between the end of the stud used as a fixed length and the cutter is the necessary length.

(3) Insert the stud for cutting in the cutter, aligning the end with that of the stud used as a cutting guide, and then cut the stud.

4. Cutting studs that are already secured (Fig. 10)

When cutting studs that are suspended from the ceiling or secured to walls or floors.

When inserting the stud in the cutter, the meshing of the stud thread and cutter thread is unstable. In such a case, after inserting the stud in the cutter, lightly pull the trigger switch to close the cutter at low speed and then completely mesh the stud and the upper and lower cutters. Next, pull the trigger switch all the way to cut the stud.

CAUTION

Use your one hand to hold the stud on the side released by cutting to insure that it does not fall unexpectedly.

5. Removing the screw from the unit during cutting operations

If the battery wears out during cutting operations so that the motor stops rotating, pull the trigger switch while pushing the forward/reverse switching button to the reverse side (Fig. 4 (c)). The motor will rotate in the opposite direction and it will be possible to remove the stud from the cutter (Fig. 11).

CAUTION

○ When removing a stud that is suspended from the ceiling, hold the main unit with both hands to prevent any possibility of the stud falling.
- Immediately turn off the switch once the cutter is free from the stud. If you attempt to do this with the switch turned on, the cutter might cut into the stud again.

6. Using the hook

The hook can be used to hang up the unit temporarily during operations (Fig. 12).

CAUTION

The hook should never be used to hang the unit on your person.

When using the hook, check to make sure that the main unit will not slip and fall, or become unstable by the wind, etc.

Never hang the unit from your belt or trousers as this could cause accidents.

NOTE

During normal use or during storage, store the hook in the latch found on the bottom of the main unit.

7. Using the trimmer

NOTE: Use a special trimmer that is suitable for the size of the stud.

If it is difficult for the nut to enter the cutting position, either use a wrench to firmly tighten the nut or use the accessory trimmer to remove the flange on the screw thread.

Insert the stud in the hole on the grip. Use a pliers to retain the stud and rotate the trimmer 5 or 6 times to the right to remove the flange and then rotate in the opposite direction to remove the trimmer (Fig. 13).

CAUTION

This trimmer is specially designed for Studs Cutter. The fl ange on studs cut with a hacksaw or disc grinder is too large for this trimmer so that the trimmer does not rotate and it is not possible to remove fl ange.

8. About Remaining Battery Indicator

When pressing the remaining battery indicator switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights and the battery remaining power can be checked. (Fig. 14) When releasing your finger from the remaining battery indicator switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp goes off. The Table 4 shows the state of remaining battery indicator lamp and the battery remaining power.

Table 4

State of lamp Battery Remaining Power
	The battery remaining power is enough.
	The battery remaining power is a half.
[6WC]	The battery remaining power is nearly empty.Re-charge the battery soonest possible.

As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat differently depending on ambient temperature and battery characteristics, read it as a reference.

NOTE

○ Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break it. It may lead to a trouble.
To save the battery power consumption, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights while pressing the remaining battery indicator switch.

CUTTER LIFE AND REPLACEMENT

1. Cutter life

As is shown in Fig. 16, repeated cutting can cause breaking and warping of the cutter edge. Using the cutter in this condition can produce flange on the cutting location of the studs so that the threads are distorted. This will prevent clean cuts and make it impossible to insert the nut.

Breaking

Warping
Fig. 16

As is shown in Fig. 17, the edge is found on four locations on the cutter. Use the method described below to change the attachment direction of the cutter to allow a total of four usages.

If the nut does not fit on the screw due to breaking and warping of the edge, change the cutter attachment direction to use the edge without breaking and warping or replace with a new cutter.

2. Changing the cutter attachment direction or replacing the cutter

(1) Before removing:

① Pull the trigger switch and move bracket (A), stopping with the cutter in the open position.

② Set the forward/reverse switching button to the lock position (Fig. 4 (b)).

③ Remove the rechargeable battery from the main unit.

(2) Removal Use the accessory hexagonal bar wrench to remove the hex. socket hd. bolt. It is now possible to remove the cutter and spacer.

(3) Before attaching

① There are four edges on the cutter. As shown in Fig. 18, by changing the position of the edge it is possible to use the blade four times.

③ If there is breakage or warping on the cutter edge or if there are bulges on the cutter attachment surface, use a file to the areas flat.
④ Use brush to remove the fi lings attached to the cutter attachment groove on the bracket.

CAUTION

As shown in Fig. 20, if the cutters are combined in such a way that both side without the notch on the cutter or both notch sides are facing out, the pitch of the threads on the studs and the threads on the cutter will not be in agreement. This can cause damage to the cutter edge or cause wear to premature damage to the main unit.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION

Be sure to remove the rechargeable battery from the unit during inspection and cleaning.

1. Care after use

After use, use a brush to brush off the work area, especially the area around the blade.

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 could result in serious hazard.

3. 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.

4. 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.

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.

NOTE

Due to HiKOKI's continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without prior notice.

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: 85 dB (A) Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 74 dB (A) Uncertainty K: 1.5 dB (A).

Wear hearing protection.

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN62841.

Stud cutting:

Vibration emission value a_hV = 0.5 m/s^2

Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s ^2

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 on 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).
