SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work Area
(1) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
(2) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust of fumes.
(3) Keep bystanders children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical Safety
(1) Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
Insulation
grounded power supply system.
(2) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
(3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
(4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from a
receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
(5) When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal Safety
(1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
(3) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and

(1) Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
(2) Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
(3) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
(4) Disconnect the plug form the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
(5) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
(6) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
(7) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced by
a HITACHI authorized service center before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
(8) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used
with another tool.

DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER OPERATION
To ensure safer operation of this power tool, HITACHI has adopted a double insulation
design. “Double insulation “ means that two physically separated insulation systems have
been used to insulate the electrically conductive materials connected to the power supply
from the outer frame handled by the operator. Therefore, either the symbol “
“Double insulation” appear on the power tool or on the nameplate.
Although this system has no external grounding, you must still follow the normal electrical
safety precautions given in this Instruction Manual, including not using the power tool in wet
environments.
To keep the double insulation system effective, follow these precautions:
䡬 Only HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER should disassemble or assemble this
power tool, and only genuine HITACHI replacement parts should be installed.
䡬 Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water,
and dry thoroughly.
Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on plastic components; otherwise the plastic
may dissolve.

Hook (A)
CAUTION:
When the power tool is used with a hook
fixed to it, pay attention to the following
points:
䢇 Before hanging the main unit from the waist
belt, make sure that the drill has come to a
Fig. 14
complete stop.
While it is suspended from the waist belt, the power plug must be disconnected from
the power source.
14
English
䢇 Do not walk about with the power tool hanging from the waist belot.
䢇 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.
䢇 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
CAUTION:
To prevent accidents, make sure to turn the switch off and disconnect the plug from the
receptacle when the drill bits and other various parts are installed or removed. The
power switch should also be turned off during a work break and after work.
1. Switch operation
䡬 When the trigger switch 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 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. Electric brake (D13VF and D13VG)
When releasing the trigger of the switch, the brake will be applied for immediate
stopping.
CAUTION:
䢇 As there is some reaction when the brake functions, sure to hold the drill securely.
䢇 When the brake becomes ineffective, send the tool to a HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTRE.
3. 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 hand, and ensure that the drill is vertical to the material being drilled.
15
English
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING: Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the receptacle
during maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the drill bits
Since use of a dull tool will cause motor malfunctioning and degraded efficiency, replace
the drill bit with a new one or resharpening without delay when abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the screws
Regularly inspect all screws and ensure that they are fully tightened. Should any of the
screws be loosened, retighten them immediately.
WARNING: Using this drill with loosened screws is extremely dangerous.
3. Keeping after use
When not in use, the Power tool should be kept in a dry place out of the reach of children.
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.
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. Service and repairs
All quality power tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts because
of wear from normal use. To assure that only authorized replacement parts will be used,
all service and repairs must be performed by a HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER,
ONLY.
