Hitachi CL 10D2 Technical Data And Service Manual page 16

(16) The amount of work possible per battery charge varies. The nominal capacity of the storage battery in the
main body is 3.0 or 2.0 Ah. However, the actual capacity varies plus or minus approximately 10% depending
on the ambient temperature during charging/discharging and the number of times the battery has been
recharged. As the amount of work per charge also varies depending on the working conditions (ambient
temperature, sharpness of the cutters, etc.), the data contained herein is intended for reference value only.
(17) The Model CL 10D2 is designed for cutting mild steel studs. If the tool is used for cutting brass or stainless
steel studs, the threads of the studs will be deformed so that nuts cannot be applied. In addition, as use of
the tool to cut hardened bolts, different-sized studs, reinforcing rods, etc. will cause damage to the main
body, the customers should be cautioned never attempt to use the tool for such purposes.
(18) Carefully ensure that replacement cutters are appropriate for the stud sizes. As use of wrong-sized cutters
will cause damage to the studs and/or cutter blades, the customers should be cautioned to ensure that
correct cutters are used.
(19) If the cutters are not mounted in the proper direction, or if the fastening hexagon socket head bolts are not
properly tightened, it will cause damage to the cutters and the main body of the tool. Instruct the customer to
ensure that the cutters are properly mounted.
(20) When operating the tool in high places, the falling cut-off stud portions are extremely dangerous.
The customers should be cautioned to be particularly careful at such times. In addition, the tool should be
stored in a safe, secure place when not in use.
(21) When the tool is being carried, when it is stored away, or when it is temporarily not in use, instruct the
customer to set the forward/reverse changeover button to the
turned on inadvertently.
(22) When operating the switch, carefully ensure that fingers are kept away from the cutters. To enhance safe
operation, the Model CL 10D2 is provided with a cover for the moving portion of the cutters, a housing
shaped so that fingers are kept away from the cutters, a switch without a stopper, and other safety features.
However, the opening to the cutters must be exposed to permit operation. Should the switch be turned on
inadvertently when the fingers are carelessly near the cutters during replacement or cleaning of the cutters,
while carrying the tool, or at any other time, serious injury could result. The customers should be cautioned
to keep fingers away from the cutters whenever the storage battery is installed in the tool.
