FAQs
What type of batteries does the HiKOKI AC18DAW5Z use?
This caulking gun is compatible with HiKOKI's 18V slide-type lithium-ion batteries. Batteries and chargers are sold separately.
Does it come with a battery?
No, the HiKOKI AC18DAW5Z is sold as a tool-only unit. A compatible 18V battery and charger must be purchased separately.
What is the maximum amount of force this gun can apply?
The gun delivers a high discharge pressure of 3,000 N, which is sufficient for most common sealing and adhesive materials.
How do I change the caulk tube?
The holder is 360° rotatable for easy access. The tube and holder change system is designed to be tool-free for quick replacements.
Will this gun work with any size caulk tube?
This model is specifically designed for 600ml cartridges.
How can I achieve a consistent bead?
Utilize the variable speed control dial and the additional trigger switch to precisely adjust the feed rate to match your material and desired bead width.
What is the purpose of the auto-reverse function?
The auto-reverse function retracts the piston slightly when you release the trigger, preventing excess material from continuing to flow out and causing drips.
Troubleshooting
Caulking gun not dispensing material.
Ensure a fully charged battery is correctly inserted. Check that the caulk tube is properly loaded and the piston is engaged. Verify that the trigger is being squeezed fully.
Material dripping after releasing trigger.
The auto-reverse and non-drip function should engage. If not, check for obstructions around the piston or ensure the mechanism is clean. Try manually retracting the piston slightly.
Slow or uneven dispensing.
Adjust the variable speed control and trigger sensitivity. Ensure the caulk tube is not damaged and the material inside is not hardened. Check for blockages in the nozzle.
Battery not connecting or tool not powering on.
Ensure the battery terminals are clean. Try a different compatible 18V HiKOKI battery. Make sure the battery is fully seated in the tool's base until it clicks.
