Hitachi CH 18DL Trimmer User Manual

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.

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).
