MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Storage and cleaning
When a mixer is not in use store it in dry locations the
motor part upwards.
When cleaning a mixer avoid entrance of any water
or liquid to the motor part.
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
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brushes with new ones having the same carbon brush
No.. In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean
and ensue that they slide freely within the brush
holders.
CAUTION
When replacing the new carbon brushes, always use
genuine Hitachi carbon brushes with the number
specified in the drawing.
5. Replacing carbon brushes
Disassemble the brush caps with a slotted-head
screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily
removed.

NOTE
This requirement is provided according to BRITISH
STANDARD 2769: 1984.
Therefore, the letter code and colour code may not be
applicable to other markets except United Kingdom.
Information concerning airborne noise and vibration
The measured values were determined according to
EN60745 and declared in accordance with ISO 4871.
Measured A-weighted sound power level: 104 dB (A).
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 93 dB (A).
Uncertainty KpA: 3 dB (A).
Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN60745.
No load:
Vibration emission value
a
h
= 2.7 m/s
2
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s

The declared vibration total value has been measured in
accordance with a standard test method and may be
used for comparing one tool with another.
It may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING
䡬
The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared total value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used.
䡬
Identify safety measures to protect the operator that
are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual
conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
