Hitachi DS 14DL Mode D'emploi page 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 7 and then turn the
sleeve to the loose side (left side) while operating the
clutch. It should be easy now to loosen the sleeve.
7. Automatic spindle-lock mechanism
This unit has automatic spindle-lock mechanism for
quick bit changes.
8. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly
9. 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. 11) (The
marks are provided on the selector button.)
10. Switch operation
When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates.
When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
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.
11. Using the hook

When using the hook, pay sufficient attention so that
the main equipment does not fall. If the tool falls,
there is a risk of accident.
