Important notice on the batteries for the Hitachi 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 Hitachi 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 Hitachi Authorized Service Center.

NOTE

Due to HITACHI’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 EN60745 and declared in accordance with ISO 4871.

Measured A-weighted sound power level:

79 dB (A) (CH14DSL/CH14DL)

80 dB (A) (CH18DSL/CH18DL)

Measured A-weighted sound pressure level:

68 dB (A) (CH14DSL/CH14DL)

69 dB (A) (CH18DSL/CH18DL)

Uncertainty KpA: 3 dB (A).

Wear ear protection.

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN60745.

No load:

ah = 2.3 m/s2, Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s2 (CH14DSL/CH14DL) ah = 2.2 m/s2, Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s2 (CH18DSL/CH18DL)

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).
