MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING:
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 mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened.
Should any of the screws be loosened, retighten them immediately.
WARNING:
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 (Fig. 16)
The Motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. When they become
worn to or near the "wear limit", it could result in motor trouble. When an auto-stop
carbon brush is equipped, the motor will stop automatically. At that time, replace both
carbon brushes with new ones which have the same carbon brush Numbers shown in the
figure. In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely
within the brush holders.
CAUTION: Using this rotary hammer with a carbon brush which is worn in excess of
the wear limit will damage the motor.

(17 mm)
NOTE: Use HITACHI carbon brush indicated in Fig. 16.
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the receptacle
during maintenance and inspection.
Using this rotary hammer with loosened screws is extremely dangerous.
