[. . . ] Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. , in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. [. . . ] Then, strike the grip of the side handle to the left in order to loosen the sleeve, while holding the ring by hand (Fig. CAUTION Do not fix the side handle to the ring of the keyless chuck because of a risk that doing so may damage the ring. For Drill chuck with chuck wrench Fit the drill bit into the chuck and use the chuck wrench to secure it, tightening the chuck by each of the three holes in turn (Fig. Selecting the driver bit Screw heads or bits will be damaged unless a bit appropriate for the screw diameter is employed to drive in the screws. 4) The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) by pushing the R-side of the push button. Power source Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specified on the product nameplate. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately, inviting serious accident. The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the bit counterclockwise. Turn the power switch OFF before changing the direction of bit rotation; otherwise, the motor will burn. 5) The impact drill can be switched from IMPACT (impact plus rotation) to ROTATION (rotation only) by simply sliding the change lever. When boring concrete, stone, tile or similar board materials, slide the change lever right. The drill head impacts against the material while continuing to rotate. When boring metal, wood or plastic, slide the change lever fully to the left. CAUTION Do not use the impact drill in the IMPACT mode if the material can be bored by rotation only. Such action will not only reduce drill efficiency, but may also damage the drill tip. When driving wood screws (1) Selecting a suitable driver bit Employ plus-head screws, if possible, since the driver bit easily slips off the heads of minus-head screws. (2) Driving in wood screws Prior to driving in wood screws, make holes suitable for them on the wooden board. Apply the bit to the screw head grooves and gently drive the screws into the holes. After rotating the screwdriver at low speed for a while until a wood screw is partly driven into the wood, squeeze the trigger more strongly to obtain optimum driving force. CAUTION Exercise care in preparing a hole suitable for the wood screws 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. Inspection the drill bit Continued use of a worn and/or damaged drill bit will result in reduced drilling efficiency and may seriously overload the drill motor. [. . . ] NOTE Due to HITACHI's continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without prior notice. IMPORTANT Correct connection of the plug The wires of the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue:- Neutral Brown:- Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this tool may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows: The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.
