Prior To Operation; How To Use - Hitachi DH 15DV Mode D'emploi

CAUTION:
If the battery has been heated (due to sunlight, etc.)
right after operation, the charger's pilot lamp may
not light in red. In such a case, first let the battery
cool, then start charging.
When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects
in the charger's battery installation hole. If there are
no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery
or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
authorized Service Center.
Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3
seconds to confirm that the battery being charged
with UC14YFA is taken out, wait for a minimum
of 3 seconds before reinserting it to continue
charging. If the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds,
the battery may not be properly charged.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Mounting the drill bit (Fig. 5)
(1) To attach a drill bit (SDS-plus shank), fully pull the
grip in the direction of the arrow as shown in Fig.
5 and insert the drill bit as far as it will go while
rotating.
(2) By releasing the grip, the drill bit will be secured.
(3) To remove the drill bit, fully pull the grip in the
direction of the arrow and pull out the drill bit.
2. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.
3. Installation of dust cup or dust collector (B) (Optional
accessories) (Fig. 7, Fig. 8)
When using a hammer drill for upward drilling
operations attach a dust cup or a dust collector (B)
to collect dust or particles for easy operation.
Installing the dust cup
Use the dust cup by attaching to the drill bit as
shown in Fig. 7.
When using a bit which has big diameter, enlarge
the center hole of the dust cup with this hammer
drill.
Installing dust collector (B)
When using dust collector (B), insert dust collector
(B) from the tip of the bit by aligning it to the
groove on the grip. (Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
The dust cup and dust collector (B) are for exclusive
use of concrete drilling work. Do not use them for
wood or metal drilling work.
Insert dust collector (B) completely into the chuck
part of the main unit.
When turning the hammer drill on while dust
collector (B) is detached from a concrete surface,
dust collector (B) will rotate together with the drill
bit. Make sure to turn on the switch after pressing
dust cup on the concrete surface. (When using dust
collector (B) attached to a drill bit that has more
than 190 mm of overall length, dust collector (B)
cannot touch the concrete surface and will rotate.)
Therefore, please use dust collector (B) by attaching
to drill bits which have 166 mm, 160 mm, and 110
mm overall length.
Dump particles after every two or three holes when
drilling.
Please replace the drill bit after removing dust
collector (B).
4. Selecting the driver bit
Screw heads or bits will be damaged unless a bit
appropriate for the screw diameter is employed to
drive in the screws.
5. Confirm the direction of bit rotation (Fig. 10)
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear
side) by pushing the R-side of the push button. (Fig.
10-a)
The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the
bit counterclockwise. (Fig. 10-b)
The motor does not rotate if the push button is set
to the center position. (Fig. 10-c)
6. Continuous drilling
The number of holes that can be drilled in concrete
after one recharge is shown in Table 3.
Table 3
Bit dia. (mm) Depth (mm)
4.8 25
6.5 30
8.5 30
10.5 35
12.5 35
14.5 45
These data are for the referential values. The number of
holes that can be drilled varies according to the sharpness
of the used bit or the conditions of the concrete being
drilled.
CAUTION:
When using more than 3 batteries and using this unit
continuously, the unit may overheat, leading to damage
in the motor and switch.
After continously using this unit with 2 batteries, please
leave it without using it for approximately 15 minutes.

HOW TO USE

1. Switch operation
The rotational speed of the drill bit 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 switch is pulled
more.
2. Rotation + Striking
Align the " " mark with the "
the change lever to set the "Rotation + Striking"
mode. (Fig. 9)
(1) Mount the drill bit.
(2) Pull the trigger switch after applying the drill bit
tip to the drilling position. (Fig. 6)
(3) Pushing the hammer drill forcibly is not necessary
at all. Pushing slightly so that drill dust comes out
gradually is just sufficient.
CAUTION:
When the drill bit touches construction iron bar, the
bit will stop immediately and the hammer drill will
react to revolve. Therefore please grip the side
handle and handle tightly as shown in Fig. 6.
3. Rotation only
Align the " " mark with the "
the change lever to set the "Rotation only" mode.
