GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (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 ﬂ ammable 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.

Page 7

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 inﬂ uence 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 ﬁ nger 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 aﬀ ect the power toolʼs 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 diﬀ erent from

those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger speciﬁ ed 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 speciﬁ cally

designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and ﬁ re.

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 ﬁ re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush 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 qualiﬁ ed

repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is

maintained.

PRECAUTION Keep children and inﬁ rm persons away. When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and inﬁ rm persons.

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

○ If the battery is charged while it is heated because

it has been left for a long time in a location subject to

direct sunlight or because the battery has just been

used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights

for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (oﬀ for

0.3 seconds). In such a case, ﬁ rst let the battery cool,

then start charging. ○ When the charge indicator lamp ﬂ ickers (at 0.2-second

intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in

the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign

objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is

malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service

Center. ○ Since the built-in micro computer takes about

3 seconds to conﬁ rm that the battery being charged with

UC18YSL3 is taken out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds

before reinserting it to continue charging. If the battery

is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery may not be

properly charged.

head horizontally from right to left in an arc while going forward and use the left side of the nylon head for cutting grass. (Fig. 36)

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.

Overload Protection

This tool comes with an overload protection circuit

to protect the electronic parts controlling the tool. In continuous overload during trimming work (locking the nylon head, etc.), the overload protection circuit shuts down the motor. If this happens, turn OFF the power, and then resolve the problem causing the overload.

The power lamp blinks if the lever is pressed after the

motor has stopped (see page 14, “ABOUT POWER LAMP”). The power automatically turns OFF if the power lamp blinks longer than 5 seconds. If this happens, resolve the problem causing the overload, and then switch the power button ON to resume using the tool.

Carrying the tool (Fig. 37) CAUTION

○ Remove the storage battery. ○ Carry the tool holding with hands. ○ When retracting the main pipe, be careful of the

pointed end and take care not get your ﬁ ngers caught.

(CG36DTA, CG36DTA (L) only) Release the locking lever and retract the main pipe. Lock the locking lever until the projection hits the main pipe. This procedure allows you to reduce the tool to a compact size. The main pipe can be retracted to any position. Choose a suitable length for carrying and storage. (CG36DTA, CG36DTA (L) only)

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION

Pull out battery before doing any inspection or

maintenance.

1. Checking the condition of the nylon head

The nylon head should be checked regularly. If worn or

broken nylon head can slip or decrease the eﬃ ciency of the motor and burn it out.

Replace worn nylon head with new ones.

CAUTION

If you use a nylon 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. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 38)

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. 999015.

4. Replacing carbon brushes

Take out the carbon brush by ﬁ rst removing the brush

cap and then hooking the protrusion of the carbon brush with a slotted head screw driver, etc., as shown in Fig. 39.

When installing the carbon brush, choose the direction

so that the nail of the carbon brush (see Fig. 40) agrees with the contact portion of brush tube. Then push it in with a ﬁ nger as illustrated in Fig. 41. Lastly, install the brush cap.

CAUTION

○ Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon brush

into the contact portion of 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.

5. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)

Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not

collected on the terminals.

On occasion check prior, during and after operation.

CAUTION

Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on

the terminals.

Failure to do so may result in malfunction.

6. 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.

7. Storage

Store grass trimmer 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.
