GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SAFETY
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 pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or 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 cord and 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) Don’t 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 operat-
ing 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.
(4) Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot-
ing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
(6) Use safety equipment. Always wear protective grasses. Dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or ear plugs must be used for appropriate conditions.
4. Tool Use and Care
(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 lose 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 hand of untrained users.
(6) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained 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 tools operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.
(8) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazard-
ous when used on another tool.
5. Service
(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of
injury.

HOW TO USE
CAUTION:
䡬 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
The rotation speed of the drill bit can be controlled steplessly by varying the
amount that the trigger switch is pulled. Speed is low when the trigger switch is
pulled slightly and increases as the switch is pulled more. To turn the switch
OFF, release the trigger switch to its original position.
2. Rotation + Striking
This rotary hammer can be set to rotation and striking mode by turning the
change lever fully counterclockwise to
mark. (Fig. 6)
(1) Mount the drill bit.
(2) Pull the trigger switch after applying the

(2) Adjusting the dust-collecting adaptor.
a) Adjusting the position of the dust-
collecting adaptor.
After firmly inserting the drill bit,
loosen the wing bolt and drill bit tip
and the end of the dust-collecting
adaptor in contact with each other
(see Fig.11).
b) Setting the hole-drilling depth.
Move the stopper to determine the
stroke. The stroke is the hole-drilling depth (see Fig.11).
䡬 The maximum hole-drilling depth
when using the dust-collecting
adaptor is 4" (100 mm).
䡬 It is possible when using the dust-
collecting adaptor to use HITACHI
drill bits up to a overall length of 81/2" (216 mm). A hole-drilling depth
of 1-3/4" (46 mm) will allow dustcollecting when the overall length
of the drill bit is 4-9/16" (116 mm).
(3) Drilling holes
When drilling holes, secure the main
unit so that the end of the dust-collecting adaptor contacts with the concrete
surface perfectly during drilling. Dustcollecting effectiveness is reduced if the
adaptor is not in contact with the surface (see Fig.12).
(4) Removing dust
Excessive dust in the dust bag will reduce dust-collecting efficiency. Remove
dust from the dust bag regularly.
Remove the dust bag from the main
unit, pull out the rail and throw away
the dust and clean. (see Fig. 13).

7. When driving wood screws (Fig. 17)
(1) Selecting a suitable driver bit
Employ phillips screws, if possible, since the driver bit easily slips off the heads
of slotted-head screws.
(2) Driving in wood screws
䡬 Prior to driving in wood screws, make pilot holes suitable for them in the wooden
board. Apply the bit to the screw head grooves and gently drive the screws into
the holes.
䡬 After rotating the rotary hammer at low speed for a while until a wood screw in
partly driven into the wood, squeeze the trigger more strongly to obtain the
optimum driving force.
CAUTION:
䡬 Exercise care in preparing a pilot hole suitable for the wood screw taking the
hardness of the wood into consideration. Should the hole be excessively small
or shallow, requiring much power to drive the screw into it, the thread of the
wood screw may sometimes be damaged.

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 abra-
sion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tight-
ened. Should any of the screws be loosened, retighten them immediately.
WARNING: Using this rotary hammer with loosen screws is extremely dan-
gerous.
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 inspec-
tion and replacement on this tool should ONLY be performed by a HITACHI AU-
THORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
5. How to replace grease
Low viscosity grease is applied to this rotary hammer so that it can be used for
a long period without replacing the grease. Please contact the nearest service
center for grease replacement when any grease is leaking from loosened screw.
Further use of the rotary hammer despite the grease shortage causes malfunc-
tion to reduce the service life.
CAUTION: A special grease is used with this machine, therefore, the normal
performance of the machine may be badly affected by use of other
grease. Please be sure to let one of our service centers undertake
replacement of the grease.
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 AU-
THORIZED SERVICE CENTER, ONLY.
