While it is suspended from the waist belt, the power
plug must be disconnected from the power source.
䡬
Do not walk about with the power tool hanging from
the waist belt.
䡬
In the case of operation in a high place, it is dangerous
to drop the tool accidentally. If the hook is deformed
or hung from the wrong position, there is danger that
the hook will slip off and the tool will fall.
Be careful to avoid danger.
䡬
In making a through hole, the power tool sometimes
shakes violently when the workpiece is pierced, from
example. Be careful you are not hurt by the hook
even if such situation happens.
HOW TO USE
1. Switch operation
䡬
When the trigger is depressed, the tool rotates. When
the trigger is released, the tool stops.
䡬
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.
䡬
The desired rotation speed can be pre-selected with
the speed control dial.
Turn the speed control dial clockwise for higher speed
and counterclockwise for lower speed.

䡬
Pulling the trigger and pushing the stopper, it keeps
the switched-on condition which is convenient for
continuous running. When switching off, the stopper
can be disconnected by pulling the trigger again.
2. Drilling
䡬
When drilling, start the drill slowly, and gradually
increasing speed as you drill.
䡬
Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit.
Use enough pressure to keep drilling, but do not
push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
䡬
To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the
last part of the hole.
䡬
If the drill stalls, release the trigger immediately,
remove the bit from the work and start again. Do not
click the trigger on and off in an attempt to start a
stalled drill. This can damage the drill.
䡬
The larger the drill bit diameter, the larger the reactive
force on your arm.
Be careful not to lose control of the drill because of
this reactive force.
To maintain firm control, establish a good foothold,
use side handle, hold the drill tightly with both hands,
and ensure that the drill is vertical to the material
being drilled.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the drill bits
Since use of an abraded drill bits will cause motor
malfunctioning and degraded efficiency, replace the
drill bits with a new one or resharpening without
delay when 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
For your continued safety and electrical shock
protection, carbon brush inspection and replacement
on this tool should ONLY be performed by a HITACHI
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
