English
If extra lumber is applied under the lumber you want to
drill and it is drilled together, a
fi
ne hole will also be made.
(
Fig.

)
○
A wood-working drill need not be pressed strongly since it
penetrates using the screw at the point. Even if excessive
force is used, a hole will not be made quickly.

To use for drilling metal
○
In case you drill metal with a metal-working drill, apply in
advance a center punch in the drilling position. You can
drill metal stably since the point of the drill does not slip.
○
If you apply sewing machine oil or soapy water to the drill
with a brush or an old tooth brush, the drill will last long.
○
Even if more-than-necessary force is used, a hole will not
be made quickly.
On the contrary, the edge of the drill will be damaged.
This will decrease operational e
ffi
ciency and shorten the
life of this tool.
CAUTION
Do not expose the motor to water as it may cause motor
malfunction and electric shock.

To
use
the
driving
wood
screws
(FD10VB)
(1) Driver bit
○
For driving a slotted head wood screw, the driver bit
detaches easily. So use cross-recessed head wood
screws as often as possible.
○
Select a driver bit matching the cross-recessed and the
slotted groove of the wood screw.
(2) Pilot hole
If a pilot hole is made with a drill a little smaller than the
diameter of the wood screw, the lumber will not be split
and the wood screw will be driven with ease.
(3) Driving operation
Put the wood screw lightly in the pilot hole, apply the bit to
the screw head groove, turn on the switch and drive the
screw.

Caution
to
be
taken
immediately
after
operation
When placing the drill in dusty places before the rotating
parts has stopped completely, make sure the machine
does not suck in dust and swarf.
MAINTENANCE
AND
INSPECTION
CAUTION
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug during
maintenance and inspection.
1.
Inspecting
the
drill
bits
and
driver
bit
Since use of an abraded drill bit will cause motor
malfunctioning and degraded e
ffi
ciency, replace the drill
bit with a new one or resharpening without delay when
abrasion is noted. If you use a driver bit of which point
is worn or broken, it will be dangerous since it slips. So
replace it with a new one.
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.
Servicing
Consult a Hitachi Authorized Service Center in the event
of power tool failure.
