Hitachi Rotary Hammer, Model DH 40FR 2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE The Model DH 40FR is an upgraded version of the current Model DH 40FA/DH 40FB, which features the use of spline shank tools. The performance, durability and operability are greatly improved. With this competitive Model DH 40FR, we aim to enhance the share of spline shank type rotary hammers.
4-1-6. Needle-pin type slip clutch The Model DH 40FR is equipped with a needle-pin type slip clutch for higher slip torque accuracy and enhanced safety (same as the Model DH 40FA/DH 40FB).

7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model DH 40FR Rotary Hammer by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale 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.
8-1. Grease Replacement The striking portion and the speed reduction portion of the Model DH 40FR respectively use different types of grease. It is not necessary to replenish the grease unless the tool is disassembled for repair or there is grease leakage due to a damaged seal.

Torque transmission Armature revolution is transmitted to the second gear to rotate the bevel gear via the slip mechanism between the second gear and bevel pinion axes. Rotation of the bevel gear is then transmitted to the cylinder keyed thereto through the clutch. Cylinder rotation is transmitted through the spline connection to the second hammer.
Page 15
Slip clutch mechanism The slip clutch mechanism is described below with reference to Fig. 5. The bevel pinion and the gear holder are coupled together by the key and press-fitting. Spring (C) and needle pins are housed in elongated grooves of the gear holder. The needle pin is pressed against the inner face of second gear by spring (C) to allow idle rotation of the second gear relative to the gear holder.

Sealing and dust-proof structure The cylinder crank case section is tightly sealed with three o-rings, two oil seals and rubber seal as shown in Fig. 7. This prevents leakage of grease from the cases, while also protecting them against dust from outside. For additional dust-proof protections, a standard accessory dust cover is provided which serves to prevent dust and chips from entering the spline hole of the second hammer and causing imperfect fitting of the drill bit.
9. REPAIR GUIDE The numbers in [Bold] correspond to the item numbers in the Parts List and exploded assembly diagrams. 9-1. Disassembly (1) Disassembly of the tool holder Disassembly procedures are illustrated in Fig. 8. Pull Knob (A) [3] outward in the direction indicated by the arrow, and turn it slightly so that its end surface comes to rest on the flange portion of the Front Cover [5].

(4) Disassembly of the cylinder As illustrated in Fig. 12, insert the drill bit secured with a vise into the Second Hammer [10] and Cylinder [17]. Put the wrench (J-123 No. 970885) to the width across flats of the Cylinder Cap [13] and turn it to loosen the Cylinder Cap [13] (right-hand thread).
9-2. Reassembly Reassembly can be accomplished by following the disassembly procedure in reverse. However, special attention should be given to the following items. (1) Reassembly of the first gear and the crank shaft Press-fit Oil Seal (B) [39] into the Cylinder Crank Case [40] and mount O-ring (S-40) [38]. Press-fit the Ball Bearing 6203DDCMPS2L [37].

Motor Grease No. 29 to the Needle Bearing (M661) [56] and the pinion portion of the Armature Ass'y [75]. Fill 30 g of Hitachi Motor Grease No. 29 in the Cylinder Crank Case [40] on the First Gear [55] side and the Gear Cover [57] side.
9-3. Screw Locking Agent TB1401 Apply screw locking agent TB1401 to all hex. socket head bolts M4, M5, M6 and Cylinder Cap [13]. (Note) Be sure to apply screw locking agent ThreeBond TB1401 to the threads during reassembly, as the bolts loosened with vibration may cause damage to the tool body.
