DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER
OPERATION
To ensure safer operation of this power tool, HITACHI has
adopted a double insulation design. "Double insulation"
means that two physically separated insulation systems
have been used to insulate the electrically conductive
materials connected to the power supply from the outer
frame handled by the operator. Therefore, either the
symbol " " or the words "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
in wet environments.

WARNING
Avoid electrical shock hazard. Never use this tool with a damaged or frayed electrical cord or extension
cord.
Inspect all electrical cords regularly. Never use in or near water or in any environment where electric
shock is possible.

To keep the double insulation system eff ective, follow
these precautions:
○ Only HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER
should disassemble or assemble this power tool, and
only genuine HITACHI replacement parts should be
installed.
○ Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft
cloth moistened with soapy water, and dry thoroughly.
Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on plastic
components; otherwise the plastic may dissolve.

USE OF 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 undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
