FAQs
Does this vacuum come with a battery?
No, the R18DSL is sold as a bare unit, so you will need to use your existing HiKOKI 18V slide-on batteries.
How long does it run on one battery?
With a 3.0Ah battery, the unit provides approximately 29 minutes of continuous operation.
Can I pick up sharp materials like glass?
While it is a heavy-duty tool, avoid vacuuming extremely sharp or hazardous materials to prevent damage to the internal filter and canister.
What is the total capacity of the container?
The dust canister has a maximum capacity of 670ml.
Is the filter washable?
Yes, you can gently clean the filter, but ensure it is 100% dry before reinstalling it into the vacuum to avoid motor damage.
Which nozzle should I use for liquid spills?
The included squeegee nozzle is specifically designed to effectively pull liquids into the canister.
Troubleshooting
Weak or decreasing suction power
Check the dust case for a clog, empty it if full, and clean the internal filter.
Vacuum fails to power on
Verify that the 18V battery is fully charged and securely seated in the battery terminal.
Liquid leaking from the unit
Ensure the dust case is properly sealed and that you have not exceeded the maximum liquid capacity marker.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This unit is compatible with all HiKOKI 18V slide-on type batteries. To set up, simply slide your charged battery into the base of the handle until it clicks securely. To clean the unit, detach the dust case, empty the contents, and wipe the housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the filter and canister are completely dry before reassembling to maintain suction power and prevent mold growth. Always store the unit in a dry place, especially when not in use for extended periods, to protect the internal motor and electronics.
