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 “
and “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.

ImpactRotation
Fig. 7
CAUTION
Do not use the Hammer Drill in the IMPACT function if the material can be bored by
rotation only. Such action will not only reduce drill efficiency, but may also damage the
drill tip.
NOTE
The change lever may not rotate smoothly when changing from hammer drill mode to
drill mode (Fig. 7).
In this case, swith ON and operate the machine for few seconds. The spindle shaft will
then be pushed forward, and the change lever can be moved smoothly.
10. High-speed/Low-speed changeover

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.
Fig. 10
1. Operation of switch
䡬 The drill speed can be adjusted from O through full speed by regulating the trigger-
squeezing force. The more the trigger is squeezed, the faster the drill rotates. When the
trigger is squeezed fully, the speed is the maximum.
䡬 Pulling the trigger and pushig 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. When using as a Drill or a Hammer Drill
(1) Pressing force of the drill
You cannot drill holes more quickly even if you press the drill with a stronger force than
necessary. It not only damages tip of drill bits and decreases the efficiency of operation,
but also shortens the life of the drill.
(2) In case of penetrating holes
Drill bits can be broken when the material being drilled is penetrated. It is important to
decrease pressing force just before penetrating.
CAUTION
In continuous operation, conduct no-load operation for five seconds after completing a
drilling job.
(3) When a thick drill bit is used
Your arm is subjected to larger reaction force when a thicker drill bit is used. Be careful
not to be moved by the reaction force. For this, establish a foothold, hodl the unit tightly
with both hands perpendicularly to the material being drilled.
