⅜ Do not attach the tip tool except phillips bit to the tool
main unit when carrying the tool main unit with the
hook suspended from a waist belt.
Injury may result if you carry the equipment
suspended from the waist belt with sharp tipped
components such as drill bit attached.
The hook can be installed on the right or left side and the
angle can be adjusted in 5 steps between 0° and 80°.
(1) Operating the hook
(a) Pull out the hook toward you in the direction
of arrow (A) and turn in the direction of arrow
(B) (Fig. 9).
(b) The angle can be adjusted in 5 steps (0°, 20°,
40°, 60°, 80°).
Adjust the angle of the hook to the desired
position for use.
(2) Switching the hook position
CAUTION
Incomplete installation of the hook may result in
bodily injury when used.
(a) Securely hold the main unit and remove the
screw using a slotted head screwdriver or a coin
(Fig. 10).
(b) Remove the hook and spring (Fig. 11).
(c) Install the hook and spring on the other side and
securely fasten with screw (Fig. 12).
NOTE
Pay attention to the spring orientation. Install the
spring with larger diameter away from you (Fig. 12).
(3) Using the bit holder
⅜ Installing the bit
Slide the bit from the side in the direction of Fig. 13,
and then insert firmly until the groove on the bit locks
in the protruded section of the hook.
⅜ Removing the bit
Securely hold the main unit and pull out the bit by
holding the tip with your thumb (Fig. 14).
CAUTION
⅜ The bit may come loose from the hook and cause
bodily injury when reversing the direction of the
bit as shown in Fig. 13 or when using the driver
with the bit stored incomplete.
⅜ Only Hitachi OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES plus driver
bits (Bit No. 2; Code No. 992671, Bit No. 3; Code
No. 992672) may be used. Do not use other bits
since they may come loose.
7. Mounting and dismounting of the bit
(1) Mounting the bit
Loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in
the counterclockwise direction as viewed from the
front) to open the clip on the keyless chuck. After
inserting a driver bit, etc., into the keyless drill
chuck, and tighten the sleeve by turning it toward
the right (in the clockwise direction as viewed from
the front) (See Fig. 15).
If the sleeve becomes loose during operation, tighten
it further.
The tightening force becomes stronger when the
sleeve is tightened additionally.
(2) Dismounting the bit
Loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in
the counterclockwise direction as viewed from the
front), and then take out the bit etc. (See Fig. 15).
NOTE
If the sleeve is tightened in a state where the clip
of the keyless chuck is opened to a maximum limit,
a click noise may occur. This is the noise that occurs
when the loosening of the keyless chuck is prevented
and is not a malfunction.
CAUTION
When it is no longer possible to loosen the sleeve,
use a vise or similar instrument to secure the bit.
Set the clutch mode between 1 and 11 and then
turn the sleeve to the loose side (left side) while
operating the clutch. It should be easy now to
loosen the sleeve.
8. Automatic spindle-lock mechanism
This unit has automatic spindle-lock mechanism for
quick bit changes.
9. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly
10. Check the rotational direction
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear
side) by pushing the R-side of the selector button.
The L-side of the selector button is pushed to turn
the bit counterclockwise (See Fig. 16) (The
L and
R marks are provided on the body).
11. Switch operation
⅜ When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool
rotates. When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
⅜ The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled
by varying the amount that the trigger switch is
pulled. Speed is low when the trigger switch is
pulled slightly and increases as the trigger switch
is pulled more.
NOTE
A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is
about to rotate; This is only a noise, not a machine
failure.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the tool
Since use of as dull tool will degrade efficiency and
cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or
replace the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the
power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 17)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since and excessively worn
carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace
the carbon brush with new ones when it becomes
worn to or near the “wear limit”. In addition, always
keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they
slide freely whthin the brush holders.
NOTE
When replacing the carbon brush with a new one,
be sure to use the Hitachi Carbon Brush Code No.
