4-1. Selling Point Descriptions

(1) Light weight 2.9 kg

Thanks to adopting the slide-type lithium-ion battery, this new model weighs only 2.9 kg. In

spite of the higher voltage compared to the Model CL 10D2, this model is 0.3 kg lighter than

the Model CL 10D2.

(2) Cutting capacity per single charge: 660 times (M10 mild steel)

Thanks to the higher voltage compared to the Model CL 10D2, larger cutting capacity per

single charge is materialized.

Cutting capacity may vary depending on ambient temperature, characteristics of the battery,

condition of the cutter, etc.

(3) Equipped with lightweight and high-capacity (3.0 Ah) lithium-ion battery

Type BSL 1430 lithium-ion battery is substantially lighter than the current Ni-MH batteries in

spite of its high voltage.

Type BSL 1430 lithium-ion battery is equipped with the overdischarge protection circuit,

overload protection circuit, and voltage monitoring circuit for each cell to prevent shortening of

the battery life due to overdischarge (overuse) or overcharge (excessive charging) of the

battery. The number of charging/discharging is about 1,500.

Precautions for use of the Type BSL 1430 lithium-ion battery

Type BSL 1430 lithium-ion battery is equipped with a protective function that automatically

stops output to extend the battery life. The motor may stop automatically in either of the

following case 1) or 2) even if the switch is depressed continuously during operation. This is

because the protective function is activated. The battery is not faulty.

1) The motor automatically stops when the remaining battery level is low (when the battery

voltage is decreased to about 8 V). Charge the battery immediately in such case.

2) The motor may stop if the Model CL 14DSL is overloaded. In such case, release the switch

and eliminate the cause of the overload problem. Then the Model CL 14DSL will be

operable.

Please instruct the customers on the above precautions.
