English
To drill a wood or metal material using the optional
drill chuck and chuck adapter, proceed as follows.
Installing drill chuck and chuck adapter: (Fig. 11)
(1) Attach the drill chuck to the chuck adapter.
(2) The part of the SDS-plus shank is the same as the
drill bit. Therefore, refer to the item of "Mounting
the drill bit" for attaching it.
CAUTION:
Application of force more than necessary will
not only expedite work at all, but will deteriorate
the tip edge of the drill bit and reduce the
service life of the hammer drill in addition.
Drill bit may snap off while withdrawing the
hammer drill from the drilled hole. For
withdrawing, it is important to use a pushing
motion.
Do not attempt to use the hammer drill in the
rotation and striking mode with the drill chuck
and chuck adapter attached. This would seriously
shorten the service life of every component of
the machine.
4. When driving wood screws (Fig. 13)
(1) Selecting a suitable driver bit
Employ plus-head screws, if possible, since the
driver bit easily slips off the heads of slotted-head
screws.
(2) Tightening wood screws
Prior to tightening wood screws, make pilot holes
suitable for them in the wooden board. Apply the
bit to the screw head grooves and gently drive the
screws in the holes.
CAUTION:
Exercise care in preparing a pilot hole suitable for
the wood screw taking the hardness of the wood
into consideration. Should the hole be excessively
small or shallow, requiring much power to drive
the screw into it, the thread of the wood screw may
sometimes be damaged.
5. Using depth gauge (Fig. 12)
(1) Loosen the knob on the side handle, and insert the
stopper into the mounting hole on the side handle.
(2) Adjust the depth gauge position according to the
depth of the hole and tighten the knob bolt securely.
6. How to use the drill bit (taper shank) and the taper
shank adapter
(1) Mount the taper shank adapter to the hammer drill.
(Fig. 14)
(2) Mount the drill bit (taper shank) to the taper shank
adapter. (Fig. 14)
(3) Turn the switch ON, and drill a hole to prescribed
depth.
(4) To remove the drill bit (taper shank), insert the
cotter into the slot of the taper shank adapter and
strike the head of the cotter with a hammer
supporting on the rest. (Fig. 15)

LUBRICATION

Low viscosity grease is applied to this hammer drill so
that it can be used for a long period without replacing the
grease. Please contact the nearest service center for
grease replacement when any grease is leaking from
loosened screw.
Further use of the hammer drill despite the grease shortage
causes damage to reduce the service life.
11
CAUTION:
A specific grease (JF-375) is used with this machine,
therefore, the normal performance of the machine may
be badly affected by use of different grease. Please be
sure to let one of our service centers to undertake
replacement of the grease.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the tool
Since use of a 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. Cleaning on the outside
When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft
dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water.
Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner,
as they melt plastics.
4. Storage
Store the power tool in a place in which the
temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of
children.
NOTE:
Due to HITACHI's continuing program of research and
development, the specifications herein are subject to
