LUBRICATION
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 damage to reduce the service life.
CAUTION
A specifi c grease is used with this machine, therefore,
the normal performance of the machine may be badly
aff ected by use of diff erent grease. Please be sure to let
one of our service centers to undertake replacement of
the grease.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION
Be sure to turned off the switch and remove the battery
before maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the tool
Since use of as dull tool will degrade effi ciency and
cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace
the tool as soon as 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
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
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. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
CAUTION
Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on
the terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
5. Cleaning on the outside
When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric
solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.
6. Cleaning the battery installation compartment and
the battery
After drilling concrete, if concrete dust has accumulated
on the battery installation compartment and the battery,
clean off the accumulated concrete dust with an air gun
or a dry cloth before using the tool. (Fig. 16)
Also, after cleaning, ensure that the battery can be
installed and removed smoothly from the tool.
CAUTION
Using the tool when the battery is covered with concrete
dust may lead to accidents such as the battery falling
during use.
Furthermore, such use may cause a malfunction or
contact failure between the battery and the terminals.
7. Storage
Store the power tool and battery in a place in which
the temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of
children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
