Maintenance And Inspection - Hitachi Koki CE 18DSL Mode D'emploi

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING: Be sure to turned off the switch and pull out the battery.
1. Inspecting the application tool
Continued use of a dull or damaged application tool
will result in reduced cutting effi ciency and may cause
overloading of the motor. Replace the application tool
with new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.
2. Check the Screws
Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them
and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION
Using this power tool with loosened, screws is
extremely dangerous.
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. Blade replacement (see Fig. 9, 10)
The hand shear uses disposable blades. Each
blade has 8 cutting edges. After a cutting edge cuts
400 meters of panel, cutting performance will fall.
Then use another cutting edge. After all 8 cutting
edges are used and worn, replace the blade.

5. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 11)
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 within the brush holders.
Wear limit
0.45" (11.5 mm)
NOTE
When replacing the carbon brush with a new one,
be sure to use the Hitachi Carbon Brush Code No.
999054.
6. Replacing carbon brushes
Remove the M5 screw, then remove the protector.
(Fig. 12)
Protector
Take out the carbon brush by fi rst removing the brush
cap and then hooking the protrusion of the carbon
brush with a fl at head screw driver, etc., as shown in
Fig. 14.
When installing the carbon brush, choose the
direction so that the nail of the carbon brush agrees
with the contact portion outside the brush tube. Then
push it in with a fi nger as illustrated in Fig. 15. Lastly,
install the brush cap.
