APPLICATIONS
Drilling in metal, lumber and plastics.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If
the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will star t
operating immediately, inviting serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power source.
Use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capaci ty. The extension cord sho uld be kept as shor t as
practicable.
Steel13 mm
Wood40 mm
4. Confi rm the direction of bit rotation
The drill bit rotates clock wise (when viewed from the
rear) when the lever of the reversing switch is set to the
“R” position, and rotates in the reverse direction when
the lever of the reversing switch is set to the “L” position.
5. Fitting the drill bit
Fit the drill bit into the chuck and use the chuck key
to secure it, tightening the chuck by each of the three
holes in turn.
6. Selecting the appropriate drill bit
○ When boring metal or plastic
Use ordinary metalworking drill bits.
Sizes range from a minimum of 1.2 mm to chuck
maximum capacity.
○ When boring wood
Use ordinary woodworking drill bits.
However, when drilling 6.5 mm or smaller holes, use a
metalworking drill bit.
7. Installing spade handle
The spade handle can be installed on the back of
the drill. Insert the bolt through the hole in the spade
handle, locate the spade handle in the desired position
and tighten the bolt fi rmly.
8. Installing the side handle
The side handle screws into the housing on either side
of the gear cover. For safe operation, use of the side
handle is necessary. Especially in heavy duty drilling,
use handle joint and side handle.
9. Installing the depth stopper (optional accessory)
The depth stopper which is useful for adjusting the
drilling depth is available. Install the depth stopper to
the gear cover using the side handle or set screw.

Th e use of a residu al current dev ice with a rate d residual
current of 30mA or less at all times is recommended.
PRACTICAL HANDLING PROCEDURES
1. Pressure
Drilling will NOT be accelerated by placing heavy
pressure on the drill. Such action will only result in a
damaged drill bit, decreased drilling effi ciency, and/or
shortened service life of the drill.
2. Using a large diameter drill bit
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 fi rm
control, establish a good foothold, hold the drill tightly
with both hands, and ensure that the drill is vertical to
the material being drilled.
3. When drilling completely through the material
When the drill bit bores completely through the
material, careless handing often results in broken drill
bit or damage to the drill body itself due to the sudden
movement of the drill.
Always be alert and ready to release pushing force
when drilling through the material.
4. Switch operation
(1) Trigger switch
By pulling the trigger switch and depressing the
stopper, the switch is held in the ON position for
continuous drilling. To turn the drill OFF, pull the trigger
switch again and release.
(2) Reversing switch
This drill can rotate both clockwise (for drilling)
and counterclockwise (for releasing the drill bit) by
operating the reversing switch.
CAUTION
Never change the direc tion of rotation while th e motor is
rotating. Turn the power switch off before changing the
direction of rotation.
5. Precautions on boring
The drill bit may become overheated during operation;
however, it is suffi ciently operable. Do not cool the drill
bit in water or oil.
6. Caution concerning immediately after use
Immediately after use, while it is still revolving, if
the Drill is placed on a location where considerable
ground chips and dust have accumulated, dust may
occasionally be absorbed into the drill mechanism.
Always pay at tention to this undesirable possibility.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the drill bits
Since use of an abraded drill bits will cause motor
malfunctioning and degraded effi ciency, 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. Inspecting the carbon brushes
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts.
When the brushes are worn down, motor trouble may
result . When the brush es are worn down to th e limit line,
replace the brushes with new ones. Keep the brushes
clean, so that they smoothly slide into the brush holders.
When replacing the brushes with new ones, be sure to
use a pair o f brushes for HiKOK I ELECTRIC DRILL Type
D13 corresponding to the illustrated number. Auto-stop
carbon brushes automatically cut off the electric circuit,
when it is worn down to the wear limit.
This indicates the replacement time of the brush and
prevents damage of the commutator.
4. Replacing carbon brushes
Disassemble the brush caps with a slotted-head
screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily
removed.
5. 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.
6. Replacing supply cord
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessar y, it
has to be don e by H iKOKI Authorized Ser vice Center to
avoid a safet y hazard.
