out.

HOW TO USE THE DEMOLITION HAMMER

(Fig. 2)
1. After placing the tip of the tool on concrete surface,
switch ON.
2. By utilizing the weight of the machine and by firmly
holding the demolition hammer with both hands,
one can effectively control the subsequent recoil
motion.
Proceed at a moderate work-rate, the use of too
much force will impair efficiency.

GREASE REPLACEMENT

This machine is of full air-tight construction to protect
against dust and to prevent lubricant leakage. This
machine can be used without grease supplement for an
extended period of time. However, perform the grease
replacement to maintain the service life. Replace the
grease as described below.
1. Grease Replacement Period
You should look at the grease when you change
the carbon brush (See item 4 in the section
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION). Ask for grease
replacement at the nearest authorized Hitachi Service
Center.
In the case that you are forced to change the grease
by yourself, please follow the following points.
2. How to replace grease
CAUTION
Before replacing the grease, turn the power off and
pull out the plug from the receptacle.
(1) Remove the crank cover and wipe off the old grease
inside (Fig. 3).
(2) Supply 30 g (the standard volume to cover the
connecting rod) of Hitachi Electric Hammer Grease
A to the crank case.
(3) After replacing the grease, install the crank cover
securely.
NOTE
The Hitachi Electric Hammer Grease A is of the low
viscosity type. When the grease is consumed,
purchase from an authorized Hitachi Service
Center.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the
plug from the receptacle to avoid serious trouble.
1. Inspecting the tool
Since use of a dull tool will degrade efficiency 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. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 4)
The Motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. When they become worn to or
near the "wear limit", it could result in motor
trouble. When an auto-stop carbon brush is
equipped, the motor will stop automatically. At
that time, replace both carbon brushes with new
ones which have the same carbon brush Numbers
shown in the figure. In addition, always keep carbon
brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely
within the brush holders.
5. Replacing carbon brushes
Loosen the set screw and remove the tail cover.
Remove the brush caps and carbon brushes. After
replacing the carbon brushes, do not forget to
tighten the brush caps securely and to install the
tail cover.
