Hitachi ET 18DM instruction manual Before USE, Excessive current protection

English

CAUTION: ALWAYS rest the cordless tool at least 30 minutes before resetting the output function.

3Excessive current protection

When continuous excessive current is detected, to prevent cordless tool or charger breakdowns caused by sudden overheating, stop the output, and the red lamp will flicker repeatedly.

Rest the cordless tool and the charger for at least 30 minutes.

Then, unplug the charger from the outlet, wait 20 seconds, and plug it in again. (This resets the output function, and restores output voltage.)

DC Power Source Lamp Indications

Status				Lamp		Output
					On
Power source ready		lights continuously				Normal output possible
			Flashes
High temp protection	0.1 second on/0.1 second off					Output stopped
Continuous overuse protection			Flashes
(equivalent to three B batteries)	0.1 second on/0.1 second off					Output stopped
			Flashes
Excessive current protection	0.1 second on/0.1 second off					Output stopped

Even with continuous work spanning long hours, output will not stop during intermittent work which would use up three Hitachi 2Ah batteries in a half day, because the cordless tool temperature increase remains low. You can continue to use the tool.

NOTE: If the lamp continues to flicker despite proper use, the charger may be malfunctioning. Please take the charger to the store where you purchased it.

CAUTION FOR CIRCULAR SAW MODEL C6DC2 WITH DC POWER SOURCE

CAUTION: The maximum continuous operation time of Model C6DC2 is 5 minutes. After about 5 minutes operation, rest the tool more than 5 minutes.

BEFORE USE

Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter.

Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate.
