Tool
The tool does not trim well.
The blade stopped because it was
used to cut a branch whose width
exceeded the blade’s cutting
capacity.
NOTE
Work that will repeatedly cause
the blade to stop will eventually
damage the motor.
Some garden trees have wood that
is very hard and may be beyond
the capacity of the tool even if it is
of a width that is within normal
capacity. Use a pair of pruning
shear to remove thick branches
before starting work.
An oblique cut may also exceed
the capacity of the tool since the
length of the cut increases. Be sure
to trim thick branches at right
angles.

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

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).

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
䡬
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.
䡬
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).
