7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION
In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models W 6VB2 and W 8VB electric
screwdrivers by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sales the salesperson carefully ensures
that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Handling Instructions, and fully
understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the Caution Plate attached to each tool.
7-1. Handling Instructions
Although every effort is made in each step of design, manufacture and inspection to provide protection against
safety hazards, the dangers inherent in the use of any electric power tool cannot be completely eliminated.
Accordingly, general precautions and suggestions for the use of electric power tools, and specific precautions and
suggestions for the use of the electric screwdriver are listed in the Handling Instructions to enhance the safe and
efficient use of the tool by the customer. Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar with the contents of the
Handling Instructions to be able to offer appropriate guidance to the customer during sales promotion.
7-2. Caution Plates
The following basic safety precautions are listed on the Name Plate attached to the main body of each tool.
However, these precautions are not listed for European countries.
For Asia and Oceania
CAUTION
Read thoroughly HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS before use.
For the U.S.A. and Canada
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and
understand instruction manual
AVERTISSEMENT
Afin de reduire le risque de blessures, l'utilisateur doit
lire et bien comprendre le mode d'emloi.
7-3. Screw Driving-Depth Adjustment
Information and suggestions for screw driving-depth selection for applicable screws are described in the Handling
Instructions. The salesperson must be thoroughly familiar with screw driving-depth adjustment procedures to be
able to instruct the customer/user in performing adjustment so that the screw neither protrudes above nor sinks
excessively below the surface of the workpiece into which the screw is driven.
--- 6 ---
Specific adjustment procedures are as follows
(1) Head of screw protrudes above workpiece surface (Fig. 1)
If dimension A in Fig. 3 is excessively small, the head of the driven screw will protrude above the surface of the
workpiece material as shown in Fig. 1. To adjust dimension A, pull the lock sleeve in the direction indicated by
the arrow in Fig. 3 to disengage the lock sleeve from the gear cover spline, and rotate the lock sleeve
clockwise as viewed from the screw mounting end (see Note below). Repeat adjustment as necessary until
the head of the driven screw is properly aligned with the surface of the workpiece.
Material into which screw
is driven
B
Screw
Fig. 1Fig. 2Fig. 3
(2) Head of screw sinks below workpiece (Fig. 2)
If dimension A in Fig. 3 is excessively large, the head of the driven screw will sink below the surface of the
workpiece as shown in Fig. 2. To perform adjustment, follow the procedures described in item (1) above, but
rotate the lock sleeve counter-clockwise.
Should Hex and Teks screws be driven when dimension A is excessively large, both the screws and bits may
be easily damaged. Instruct customers/users to perform adjustment correctly without fail.
(NOTE) By turning the lock sleeve clockwise or counter-clockwise, dimension A in Fig. 3 can be adjusted
within a maximum dimension of 1.5 mm (0.059"). One complete rotation of the lock sleeve is

divided into ten settings, each setting permitting an adjustment of 0.15 mm (0.006"). Accordingly,
if dimension B in Fig. 1 is 0.3 mm (0.012"), rotate the lock sleeve by two settings.
7-4. Self-Drilling Screws
Self-drilling screws are most suitable for joining wooden and metal materials, mounting metallic components onto
iron sheets, or installing roofing materials. Self-drilling and self-tapping, they are commonly employed in the
construction industry because:
Separate drilling and tapping processes are not required when securing wooden materials to metal materials.
Consequently, job costs and processes can be drastically reduced.
7-5. Drywall Screws
Drywall screws are most suitable for interior decorating and construction utilizing such materials as gypsum board
and plastic board. Their main features are:
Like Hex and Teks screws, drywall screws are self-drilling, and can reduce work time.
Wall panels can be mounted cleanly without cracks or chips.
Drywall screws display far stronger holding power than conventional screws when applied to materials
composed of powder or particles, such as gypsum board.
--- 7 ---
7-6. Variable-Speed Switch
This switch is equipped with a variable speed control circuit. Through the control circuit, the speed can be
controlled up to 75 % of maximum speed according to the degree at which the switch is depressed.
A disadvantage of this system is that if the bit becomes locked resulting in stoppage of the motor, the speed
control circuit may be burnt out. In such a case, the switch should be released immediately or turned OFF. To
avoid damage to the switch circuit, the customer should be advised to increase driving speed gradually until the
screw is driven approximately halfway into the workpiece, then depress the trigger to obtain optimum speed.

8. PRECAUTIONS IN DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
The [BOLD] numbers in the descriptions below correspond to the item numbers in the Parts List and the exploded
assembly diagram.
8-1. Disassembly
A. Disassembly of the parts within the handle
(1) Removal of the Handle Cover
Loosen the three Tapping Screws D4 x 20 [31], and remove the Handle Cover [29].
(2) Removal of the Carbon Brushes
With a small flat-blade screwdriver, lift up on the Brush Holder [36], and pull it out slightly.
Next, pull out the terminal portion which connects the two Carbon Brushes [35] and the lead wires from the
Speed Control Switch [32]. When pulling the terminal, it is best to push the Carbon Brushes fully into the
Brush Holder.
(3) Removal of the Cord
Loosen the two Tapping Screws D4 x 16 [44] which retain the Cord Clip [45], and remove the Cord [48]
together with the Cord Armor [46].
B. Removal of the armature and stator
(1) Removal of the Armature
Remove the three Tapping Screws D4 x 40 [9] from the Gear Cover Ass'y [10], and remove the Inner
Cover Ass'y [23] from the Housing [29]. The Armature [25] can then be taken out.
(2) Removal of the Stator
First, remove the Fan Guide [26] from the inside of the Housing.
Then, loosen the two Tapping Screws D4 x 50 [27], and lightly tap the end surface of the Housing [29] with
a wooden hammer to loosen and remove the Stator [28].
--- 8 ---
C. Removal of the socket (B) ass'y, gear ass'y and second pinion ass'y
(1) Remove the Gear Cover Ass'y [10] and the Inner Cover Ass'y [23], then the Socket (B) Ass'y [12], Gear
Ass'y [15] and Second Pinion Ass'y [20] can be removed. If the Gear Ass'y [15] is hard to remove, lightly
tap the end surface of the Inner Cover Ass'y [23] with a wood hammer. If the Second Pinion Ass'y [20] is
hard to remove, lightly tap the end surface of the Gear Cover Ass'y [10] with a wood hammer. Be careful
not to lose the Spring [14] on the outer circumference of the Gear Shaft [16] and the Washer [22] on the
outer circumference of the Second Pinion Ass'y [20].
As shown in Fig. 5, insert two flat-blade screwdrivers between the Inner Cover Ass'y [23] and Gear Ass'y
[15] at each side and remove the Gear Ass'y [15], Gear Shaft [16] and Ball Bearing [17] from the Inner
Cover Ass'y as a single unit.

attention should be given to the following items.
(1) Lubrication
Grease: Hitachi Motor Grease (Code No. 930035)
Application:
(a) Fill a moderate amount of grease in the Gear Cover Ass'y [10]. (If the Gear Cover Ass'y is new, fill it with
7 g of grease.)

the lead wire (gray) into the terminal (2) as shown
in Fig. 9. Insert the lead wire (brown) coming
from the carbon brush into the terminal (3) and
the lead wire (blue) into the terminal (4). After
insertion, pull each lead wire slightly to check that
the lead wires do not come off. To disconnect the
lead wires, insert a small flat-blade screwdriver
into the slots near the terminals and pull out the
lead wires.
