Frequently Asked Questions - CG 18DL HITACHI

How do I charge the battery for the first time?

Connect the charger to a power outlet. Insert the battery firmly until the line is visible. The pilot lamp will light red during charging and blink red when fully charged. Typical charging time is about 45 minutes at 20°C. Do not charge if battery is hot; let it cool first.

How do I replace the nylon cutting line?

Remove the cutting body cap by pushing in the locking tabs. Take out the spool and discard old line. Fold a new line unevenly, hook the U-bend into the spool groove, wind both halves in the same direction on each side. Insert ends into stopper holes, then place spool in cap, aligning stopper holes with eyelets. Replace reel spring and snap cap closed.

What safety precautions should I take before using the brush cutter?

Always wear eye and hearing protection. Keep bystanders at least 15 m away. Inspect the cutting head for cracks or damage. Attach the safety cover and shoulder belt. Ensure the loop handle is secure. Remove the battery before any adjustments or cleaning.

How do I start and stop the motor?

Insert the battery. Press the start button on the housing to turn on power (the power lamp lights red). To start cutting, grip the handle, press the lock lever, and pull the lever. Release the lever to stop. Press the start button again to turn off power. The tool auto-powers off after 1 minute of inactivity.

What should I do if the cutting head does not feed nylon line?

Ensure the line is wound correctly and the stopper holes are aligned with eyelets. Tap the cutting head on the ground at low rpm (below 4500 min⁻¹) to feed line. If still not working, check that the line is not tangled and all components are properly installed. Contact Hitachi dealer if needed.

How often should I lubricate the gear case?

Lubricate the gear case every 50 hours of use. Remove the cutting head, clean debris, remove the M6 bolt, inject lithium-base bearing grease until full, then reinstall the bolt.

What is the correct way to store the brush cutter?

Remove the battery and cutting head. Store in a dry place with temperature below 40°C, out of reach of children. Keep away from moisture and chemicals. Clean before storage.

Why does the motor stop suddenly during use?

Possible reasons: battery depleted, battery overheated, tool overloaded. The protection circuit stops the motor. If overheated, let the tool and battery cool. If overloaded, release the lever, clear obstructions, then restart. If battery depleted, recharge it.

How do I check the remaining battery power?

Press the remaining battery indicator switch on the battery. The indicator lamp shows power level: continuous light means full, intermittent means half, blinking means nearly empty. Recharge when the lamp indicates low.

Can I use any battery with this tool?

No. Only use Hitachi designated genuine batteries (e.g., BSL1830). Using other batteries may cause safety hazards or damage. Never disassemble or modify the battery.

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 the presence of flammable 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.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools' operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

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.

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.

(10) The initial cutting line length should be approx. 150 mm and should be equal on both sides. (Fig. 22)

OPERATION

Trimming grass WARNING

○ Do not operate the tool at night or under bad weather conditions when visibility is poor.
○ Do not operate the tool when it is raining or right after it has been raining.
○ Wear proper footwear to prevent slipping cause you to lose your balance and fall.
○ Do not use the tool on steep slopes.

When trimming grass on slopes that are not so steep, trim by moving towards the ridge.

○ Place the tool on the shoulder belt, place the right hand on the handle and the left hand on the loop handle and hold it firmly.
○ Take care not to move the cutting head too close to your feet.
○ Do not raise the cutting head above your knee during cutting.
○ Do not use the tool where the cutting head may come into contact with stones, tree and other obstacles.
○ A cutting attachment can injure while it continues to spin after the motor is stopped. When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before the unit is set down.
☐ Do not use the tool within 15 m of another person. When you work with someone else, maintain a distance of more than 15 m.

1. Insert the battery while observing its polarities

2. Turn on the tool (Fig. 23)

○ Press the Start button on the housing, the power goes on and the power lamp on the handle lights red.
○ Pressing the start button a second time turns the power off and the red lamp on the handle goes off.

[Auto power off]

When the power is turned on but the lever is not used for one minute, the tool is automatically turned off. To turn the tool on again, press the start button a second time.

WARNING

Never leave the tool with the power on. This could result in an accident.

3. Trimming grass

☐ Grip the handle from above, press the lock lever and pull the lever to start cutting head rotation. (Fig. 24)
○ Release the lever when you finish trimming and stop the motor.
○ Place your thumb on the loop handle and grip the handle with your other fingers. (Fig. 25)
○ Take a posture that makes it easy to move.

[Grass trimming techniques]

When the motor is turning slowly, it is weak and grass tends to get caught in the knife. When it turns too fast, the vibrations and noise are loud and battery power consumption goes up.
○ At excessive speed, the battery will wear down faster.
Do not swing the pipe, but use the hips to move the cutting head horizontally from right to left in an arc while going forward and use the left side of the cutting head for cutting grass. (Fig. 26)

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

Continuous work

This tool comes with an over-heat protection circuit that protects the electronic parts that control the rechargeable battery. In continuous trimming work, tool temperature will rise and eventually trigger the over-heat protection circuit, which will shut down the tool. If this happens, let the tool cool for a length of time. When the temperature drops, it will again become possible to use the tool. When the rechargeable battery has to be exchanged during continuous operation, let the tool rest for about 15 minutes.

Speed switch

Equipped with an electronic circuit, this switch enables step-ness speed changes.

If the switch trigger is set too low (low rpm range) and the motor is continuously overworked, the electronic circuits will become hot and could break down. Do only light work at low motor speeds.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION

○ Pull out battery before doing any inspection or maintenance.

1. Checking the condition of the cutting head

The cutting head should be checked regularly. If worn or broken cutting head can slip or decrease the efficiency of the motor and burn it out. Replace worn cutting head with new ones.

CAUTION

☐ If you use a cutting head of which point is worn or broken, it will be dangerous. So replace it with a new one.

2. Check the Screws

Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them and make sure they are tight.

CAUTION

○ Using this power tool with loosened screws is extremely dangerous.

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. Gear case lubrication

○ Maintenance interval
The gear case should be checked for lubrication after each 50 hours of use.
○ Lubrication

Remove the cutting head. Clean any dirt and debris from the area between the gear case. Remove the M6 bolt from the side of the gear case. While rotating the attaching shaft, inject lithium-base bearing lube (P/N 682975) through the hole until the gear case is full. Reinstall M6 bolt.

5. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 27)

The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. Since and excessively worn carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon brush with new ones when it becomes worn to or near the “wear limit”. In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders.

NOTE

When replacing the carbon brush with a new one, be sure to use the Hitachi Carbon Brush Code No. 999054.

6. Replacing carbon brushes

Take out the carbon brush by first removing the brush cap and then hooking the protrusion of the carbon brush with a slotted head screw driver, etc., as shown in Fig. 28.

When installing the carbon brush, choose the direction so that the nail of the carbon brush (see Fig. 29) agrees with the contact portion outside the brush tube. Then push it in with a finger as illustrated in Fig. 30. Lastly, install the brush cap.

CAUTION

○ Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon brush into the contact portion outside the brush tube. (You can insert whichever one of the two nails provided.)
○ Caution must be exercised since any error in this operation can result in the deformed nail of the carbon brush and may cause motor trouble at an early stage.

7. Cleaning of the outside

When the grass trimmer is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, as they melt plastics.

8. Storage

Store grass trimmer in a place in which the temperature is less than 40^ C and out of reach of children.
