Never apply excessive force to the main unit as this can cause damage to the unit.

4. Check the cutter size, attachment direction,

attachment bolt and spacer (1) The cutter size diff ers 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. When using the M10, M8 or M6 cutter Check and confi rm 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. When using the W3/8" cutter No spacers are required. Check and confi rm that only the cutter is attached. For details, refer to the section on “Cutter life and replacement”.

4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the

5. Hold the charger fi rmly and pull out the battery.

NOTE After operation, pull out batteries from the charger fi rst, 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 fi rst 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 continuosly 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 fl ickers 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. 0000BookCL14DSLWE.indb120000BookCL14DSLWE.indb12 2019/08/3012:11:472019/08/3012:11:4713 English

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.

CAUTION ○ Never bring the cutter near your fi ngers when operating the trigger switch. ○ When cutting short studs, take caution as to not place your fi ngers 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 fi xed lengths (Fig. 9)

When cutting several studs to the same length, using the equipment in the following way will making cutting operations more effi cient. (1) First cut one stud to the required length, and then use it as a fi xed length guide. (2) Insert the stud used as a fi xed 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 fi xed 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 fl oors. 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.

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 diffi cult for the nut to enter the cutting position, either use a wrench to fi rmly tighten the nut or use the accessory trimmer to remove the fl ange 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 fl ange 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. 0000BookCL14DSLWE.indb130000BookCL14DSLWE.indb13 2019/08/3012:11:482019/08/3012:11:4814 English

The battery remaining power is a half. The battery remaining power is nearly empty. Re-charge the battery soonest possible. As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat diff erently 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

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 fl ange 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 fi t 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. Four edges on the cutter Fig. 17

2. Changing the cutter attachment direction or

replacing the cutter (1) Before removing: Pull the trigger switch and move bracket (A), stopping with the cutter in the open position. Set the forward/reverse switching button to the lock position (Fig. 4 (b)). 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 There are four edges on the cutter.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

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

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 do so 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.

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 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 modifi ed (such as disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal parts). GUARANTEE We guarantee HiKOKI Power Tools in accordance with statutory/country specifi c 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.
