Repairsshould be conducted only by a Hitachiauthorizedservicecenter.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw.An undersizedcordwill causea drop in line voltage resulting in lossof power and overheating.Table showsthe correctsizeto use
dependingon cord length and nameplateampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heaviergage.The smaller the gage number, the heavierthe cord.

DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER OPERATION
To ensure safer operation of this power tool, HITACHIhas adopted a double insulation design. "Double insulation" means that two physically
separatedinsulation systems havebeen usedto insulatethe electrically conductivematerials connectedto the power supply from the outer frame
handled by the operator. Therefore,either the symbol "rs]" or the words 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 inwet environments.
