INTENDED USE

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Page | 3

CAUTION: Do not operate the Cordless Tool if air tem-

perature is above 95˚F (35˚C), or in too cold of tem-

peratures such as freezing that effects the safety and

condition of the tool, placement of the concrete, and/

or the proper time and installation of the control Joints.

Consult your Concrete Expert as to the best times and

conditions.

CAUTION: Do not insert or allow foreign objects to en-

ter the Cordless Tool, except through its normal use, as

this may cause the Cordless Tool to be damaged in such

a way that will reduce the life of the tool. The Cordless

Tool is intended to operate relatively cool and efﬁciently

if it is used within the standards set inside this manual.

WARNING: Always unplug the related appliance (char-

ger) when not in use, and when not actively servicing

(charging) any of the Cordless Tools Batteries. Never

yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and

pull straight out to disconnect.

CAUTION: Do not operate the Cordless Tool and/or

charger if you observe any signs of the components

leaking ﬂuid, damaged cord or plug, or if the Cordless

Tool and/or charger is malfunctioning or is dropped

or damaged in any manner. Do not attempt to repair

any of the Cordless Tools components yourself. For re-

pairs covered under warranty, see warranty statement.

For all other repairs, contact Robo Working Tools cus-

tomer service by telephone or E-Mail. WARNING: Do

not connect any supplied charger to any voltage other

than 110V-240V /50Hz-60Hz, A.C. standard outlet. Con-

nect to properly grounded outlets only. Use the related

appliance (charger) only with adequate wiring that is

up to Code. The National Electric Code requires that a

“Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter” (GFCI) be used in the

branch circuit supplying electric power to any device

(charger) related to a Cordless Tool Device. A cord rated

for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may

overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so

that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

WARNING: The power supply cord may have a polarized

plug. As a safety feature this plug will ﬁt in a polarized

outlet only one way. If it does not ﬁt fully in the outlet,

reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a quali-

ﬁed electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety

feature.

WARNING: DO NOT run the cord under carpeting. DO

NOT cover cord with throw rugs, runners, etc. Place the

cord away from trafﬁc areas and where it will not be

tripped over.

CAUTION: Avoid the use of an extension cord.

ASSEMBLY AND USE

When you open the Tool Box that makes up the total

and complete operating Tool, the “Robo Joiner™; be

sure to locate the individual instructions that pertain

to that device. Inside this manual, as well as the draw-

ings and/or instructions that come with this Cordless

Tool that was speciﬁcally designed for the use in which

you should have purchased it; there is beneﬁcial infor-

mation provided for your convenience. You will notice

from the start, your cordless tool is almost ready to be

used from the moment you open the box. Please be

sure that your purchase has come with the instruction

manual, as well as additional drawings/instructions

which were written onto any of the related appliances

(Charger). Please retain the total information for your

safe keeping. Use this information for the proper as-

sembly, as well as for later in case of general mainte-

nance and questions that you might have in keeping

your purchase well maintained.

As far as the use of this Cordless Tool, please consult

with the appropriate expert that you made this pur-

chase from. It is this construction expert that will be

familiar with your local building codes and any oth-

er local standards such as the kind of control joints

used based on the known soil conditions in your area.

Therefore, please rely on their expertise and the ex-

pertise of the various contractors from which you

may have purchased products speciﬁcally designed to

maintain a healthy appearance in your concrete. Con-

sulting with your concrete expert will generally save

you a lot of time and disappointments. See CAUTION,

Top of Page 5.

ADDING LIFE TO YOUR CONCRETE

Here again, your concrete expert is someone who can

speciﬁcally recommend certain control joints based on

what you are trying to achieve in a pattern that does

not take away from the strength of the concrete, and in

some cases can add to it . Due to local soil problems

that may be prevalent in your area, they can recom-

mend certain procedures, techniques, and avoidances

that will prevent you from experiencing certain con-

Page | 4

ditions that will affect the appearance of the concrete.

Therefore, consulting with people who can show you

the various joint uses that affect the appearance of the

concrete and yet provides the added strength to the

over-all concrete; those choices should be in consulta-

tion with your concrete expert. All of your purchases for

ﬁnishing concrete should always be made on the bases

of your actual experience in the industry, and/or with

consultation of a concrete expert. Deciding these things

should always be made from well established facilities

that are skilled in recognizing un-healthy conditions

and ﬁnishes that are not only unsightly, but bring safety

concerns to the forefront; all because the placement of

the control joints, was not adequate.

When placing concrete, always be sure that your con-

crete is of the required strength and ﬁnish for which it

is intended. The best way to assure this is by purchasing

concrete that comes from a

facility that is skilled in supplying a pre-controlled mix,

with enough experience to assure structural strength

and integrity. Always buy from a well established facility

that has the technical knowledge to assure the mini-

mal chance of getting un-controlled checks and cracks

that affect the appearance and safety of the concrete.

For added safety and understanding, you might want to

read up on technical journals that your concrete expert

recommends. This will of course provide you with more

product and technical information to keep you well in-

formed, and maybe some peace of mind.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

OF YOUR CORDLESS TOOL

Each of the Cordless Tool(s) you just purchased has

been inspected during and after assembly. Yet, we also

realize that the proper maintenance of the tool is im-

portant, therefore we have strived to create a tool that

has little maintenance as possible so the tool can be

used continuously without the least amount of down

time. The owner of this tool is only required TO WIPE

OR WASH WITH A MOIST BRUSH OR CLOTH THE 3/4”

BLADE AND THE DEEP GROVE TRIM PLATE. THESE

PARTS ARE CONNECTED TO THE DRIVE UNIT AND

MUST BE WASHED WITH CARE AFTER EACH USE. WA-

TER DAMAGE WILL NOT BE COVERED IN ANY WAR-

RANTY CLAIM. Be sure not to get any water into the

tool. The internal part of the tool has been well lubricat-

ed assuring a continuous use without adding additional

lubrication inside the tools housing.

Other tools that are manufactured may require differ-

ent procedures for cleaning and maintenance. The rea-

son for this; is because there are many different types

of uses for the various tools on the market, and how

they may or may not have been able to protect the tool

in the ﬁnal design that was achieved, requires differ-

ent maintenance procedures. Therefore, be sure to keep

the outside of this Cordless Tool clean of all debris, oils,

hardening concrete, and/or other foreign matter that

is conducive in keeping it well maintained and clean.

That is why again we recommend that you consult with

your concrete expert who has the working knowledge

of what is a properly cleaned and maintained Cord-

less Tool. They will of course be familiar far better with

your installation and have the inside tract as to what

to recommend. Yet, it can’t be said enough, there are

some common steps that should be taken regarding

any product that operates in conjunction with electri-

cal devices.

Disconnect the main plug and/or battery from the elec-

trical supply before carrying out any maintenance. The

motor unit of the tool is sealed and therefore requires

no lubrication or other maintenance. Regular mainte-

nance of the exterior housing of the tool is expected and

required. Under no circumstances should the grounded

end of the related appliance (charger) unit be removed.

If you do not have a proper grounded receptacle to plug

the charger into, consult your local licensed electrician

for the proper recommended procedure to follow in or-

der to achieve the proper ground.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION AND FUNCTION

Page | 5

Rubberized Grip: This assures a good grip of the tool

without the typical build up of sweat that occurs in

many instances when a hand is in a tight grip of a tool

under typical weather conditions that concrete is usu-

ally being applied. To keep the handle from degrading,

be sure to keep out of direct sun when not in use. Store

inside the tool box provided.

Laser Guided On Off Switch: This switch allows the user

to turn on the laser light of the tool when they feel that

the striking of a laser line in front of the tool that is fol-

lowing a pre-struck wet and/or string line; making sure

the joint is straight and true. The laser light mounted in

this tool is of good quality material and should last for

several hundred hours of operation, with no mainte-

nance, other than replacement when needed.

WARNING: BE SURE NOT TO POINT THE LASER LIGHT

AT YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSONS EYE DIRECTION.

THIS MAY CAUSE A HARMFUL RESULT, SUCH AS A POS-

SIBLE INJURY.

Also, if being used during times of excessive tempera-

ture, make sure to use when needed, and not left on in

direct sunlight, thus shorten the laser’s life and of the

battery. Excessive use of this feature shortens the bat-

tery life between re-charges.

20 Volt Lithium Ion Batteries: This type of battery uses

the latest technology in battery development. The bat-

teries hold their full charge up to the point it is in de-

mand by the tool itself. Yet built into the battery case is

series of LED indicator lights which provides the status

of the batteries usefulness before needing recharging.

Thus, these lights indicate enough warning to remind

you to be sure that the second battery which comes

with this tool is being fully charged or is being charged

at the moment the tool is being used. The charger that

comes with the batteries is for a quick charge of no lon-

ger than 1 hour for a fully discharged battery.

Please note the ﬁve indicator light patterns just to the

right of the connecting point for the battery on the

charger. These ﬁve indicator color combinations which

are shown by the label on the charger from top to bot-

tom below the two color lights itself, provides you the

following indications shown from top to bottom of the

charger label. A solid Green; fully charged; Blinking

Green; being charged and working; A full Red; Needs

to be Charged; A blinking green and Red; Over Heat-

ing, shutting off for cooling; A solid green and Red; Bat-

tery no Longer Good. There are the same combinations

light indicators at the bottom inside half of the battery

itself which indicates the status of the battery.

Please note the blue button above the lights which al-

low you to turn these lights on and off for what that

status of the battery is at that moment. Please keep the

battery disconnected from the Tool at all times when in

storage inside the tool case.

Variable Speed with Locking Trigger: This tool has a

speed that varies from 0-2,400 R.P.M., thus is consid-

ered a variable speed cordless tool. Essentially more

speed is needed the harder the concrete is. It is advised

that the operator familiarize themselves to the speed

and strength of this tool, before tackling the cutting of

longer joints than can be cut beyond what they would

cut in a normal day with a hand tool. Once you are fully

familiar with the tool, you can add more footage to your

day’s goal. You will ﬁnd that the power of this tool is

because of the heavy duty motor within the housing.

That does not mean that you can run this tool at full

throttle at all times. It depends on the quality and hard-

ness of the concrete. Experience will allow you to de-

termine what are the best factors to use this tool given

your present ability at that time. Be aware to lock the

trigger in place when not in use in order to keep the

tool from discharging (coming on) when it is not appro-

priate. Also, we remind you again, disconnect the bat-

tery from the tool when not in consistent use, or stored

inside the tool case provided. This way the battery is

prevented from discharging when not appropriate, thus

may contribute to over-heating.

Face Plate/Shaft Guides: This part of the tool has been

built to some rugged standards, more than called for in

the rest of the outer shell. Purpose: To protect some vi-

tal parts inside the tool, such as the Laser system, criti-

cal switches, the solid vertical shaft, and access to the

rest of the internal parts of the tool. This face plate has

been powder coated for added ruggedness and beauty.

In order to get access to the other internal parts, the

face plate and shaft guides have to be un- screwed and

then removed after the blade is removed ﬁrst. It is ad-

vised that the owner of this tool read the warranty on

page 12, and if you have decided to go forward, have

someone trained in all aspects of the tool before allow-

ing them to take apart, repair and assemble this tool.

Page | 6

The shaft assembly that is behind the face plate is built

of hardened solid steel. You will notice that just behind

the shaft are two plastic mounted shaft guides built of

high temperature high impact plastic as guides for the

shaft to move vertically up and down without being

forced out of place as the tool goes forward through

hardening concrete. These pieces have been mounted

by four screws to the face of the vertical part of the shaft

guides, and the horizontal piece that the shaft passes

through, mounted to the internal ribbing behind the

face plate by four screws. If there is a need to remove

any of these parts, be sure to not leave loosen screws or

over-tightening them during assembly.

Figure 2

Protective Shield / Bridge Support: These parts were

created so that the forces being put upon this tool by

its use as a concrete control joint maker, does not cause

undue harm to the tool. The Bridge Support serves sev-

eral functions such as; a better mounting bracket be-

tween the Trim Plate and the Protective Shield. The Pro-

tective Shield keeps the main housing of the tool from

separating due to the vertical movement of the tool and

the forces put upon it as the concrete comes in con-

tact with the main housing. Thus this concrete which

is kicked up by the tools movement going forward is

prevented from entering the tools main housing by the

shield. This is important in that the concrete being of an

acidic base degrades the life of the tool if it enters the

main housing.

3/4” Blade: This part is shown in ﬁgure 1 and ﬁgure 2

above. Of all of the parts that make up this tool, it is

the one singular part that comes into constant contact

with the concrete. Having said that; it is imperative that

this part is kept clean and viable, for it actually makes

the cut into the concrete for which the control joint is

being made. Yet because of the stainless steel material

it is made of, it is considered durable, yet it still might

not outlive the expected lifetime of this tool. But in the

concrete industry it is well known that unclean and not

well kept parts like trowels and other tools wear and

distort the proﬁle for which they were intended. Please

be sure not to allow any build-up of materials like con-

crete on the Blade, adding to the Blades distortion.

Locking Pin and Clip: These two parts allow for the

quick disconnect between the tool and the two Trim

Plates that ﬁt this tool. The 3/4” Deep Grove Trim Plate

comes only with this tool set. The 1/4” Saw Cut Trim

Plate is offered as a separate Kit for purchase. Contact

your retailer and/or Robo Work Tools Dealer for further

information and purchase. Below is the image of the

tool showing the various parts that need to be removed

for exchanging the two Trim Plates for either 3/4” or

1/4” Blades. The ones pictured in this manual is the 3/4”

Blade.

Figure 3

As you can see in Figure 3, there are only four parts that

need to be removed in order to exchange the two differ-

ent types of Trim Plates. Also pictured are the two wrin-

ches that come in the tool box for removing the Bridge

assembly and the Blade which is simply anchored to

the shaft by the two screws shown in ﬁgure 3 using the

larger of the two tools.

Page | 7

3/4”Deep Grove Trim Plate: This part was speciﬁcally

designed for the easy addition and removal from the

Bridge Support that is attached to the Tool. Because of

its design, the 3/4” Deep Grove Trim Plate can be re-

moved without having to remove the Blade ﬁrst. What

this does is allow for easier removal in case of clean-

ing the tool, and yet allow the tool owner to get easy

access to wiping the Blade after each use. This again

allows further cleaning of the bridge and the Locking

Pin and Clip, thus providing a further cleaning. The trim

Plate was Powder Coated for additional protection of

the aluminum plate. Even though Powder Coating pro-

tects the outer ﬁnish of the aluminum, normal wear

and tear from the Abrasive Concrete wears the ﬁnish off

these surfaces rather quickly depending on use. This is

normal. The tool will perform way beyond the time the

ﬁnish wears off, and after you notice some normal wear

marks on the Trim Plate itself.
