7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model DH 24PE (S) Hammer Drill by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sales the salesperson carefully ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Instruction Manual, and fully understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the Caution Plate attached to each tool.
8.REFERENCE MATERIAL 8-1. Lubrication It is not necessary to replenish the grease lubricant unless the tool is disassembled or there is grease leakage due to a defective seal. Special grease is used in the striking section. Should the striking section (within the gear cover) be disassembled, carefully remove the old grease from all parts and, on reassembly, inject 55 g (1.94 oz) of new grease into the gear cover.

• Piston reciprocating mechanism In conventional hammer drills, a piston is caused to reciprocate by a connecting rod and crankshaft, and the crankshaft and the cylinder axes are at right angles to each other. Accordingly, the armature shaft and the cylinder axes are also at right angles to each other.
Page 17
• Striking function The piston reciprocates within the cylinder to move the striker in the same manner as in conventional hammer drills. As the piston reciprocates, the changing air pressure inside the air chamber between the piston and the striker causes the striker to move and repeatedly strike against the end of the second hammer. At the same time, the changing air pressure within the air chamber which moves the striker also provides an "air cushion"...
Page 18
• Slip mechanism The slip mechanism in the Model DH 24PE (S) consists of a coil spring which applies a pre-set amount of pressure to ensure the interlocking of three claws provided on the flange of the cylinder (the final rotating shaft) and six matching claws provided on the face of the second gear, by which rotation is transmitted to the cylinder.
8-3. "Three-Mode" Changeover Mechanism The change lever of the Model DH 24PE (S) permits quick and easy changeover among the "rotation and striking", "rotation only" and "striking only" functions. Each function mode is explained below. When operating the change lever, be sure to continue pressing the pushing button. (1) Rotation and striking (Fig.
Page 20
(2) Rotation only (Fig. 6) Adjust the change lever to "rotation only" ( mark). The lock plate is moved forward by the pin of the change lever, and the clutch is moved forward at the back end of the lock plate. Engagement between the clutch and the claws of the reciprocating bearing is released ( A portion in the figure).
Page 21
(4) Neutral (Fig. 8) The Model DH 24PE (S) has a neutral mode used for positioning a tool such as a flat chisel. Adjust the change lever to a position halfway between "striking only" ( mark) and "rotation and striking" ( marks).
8-4. Drill Bits The chuck section is designed exclusively for the popular and widely available SDS-plus shank bits, as shown in Fig. 9. Rotating torque is transmitted to the drill bit by two key rails provided in the tool holding section. A steel ball is used to prevent the bit from coming off.
8-5. Chuck Section Figure 11 shows the construction of the chuck section. Washer (B) Steel ball Holder Grip spring Front cap Forward Backward Cylinder Key rails (two pieces) Ball holder Fig. 11 The opening where the drill bit is inserted is covered with a front cap (rubber) to prevent dust from entering inside. When the drill bit is inserted, the steel ball fits in to the matching groove on the drill bit to lock it in place and prevent it from coming off.

9.PRECAUTIONS IN DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY The [BOLD] numbers in the descriptions below correspond to the item numbers in the Parts List and exploded assembly diagram. 9-1. Disassembly (1) Disassembly of the striking mechanism section Push the Second Hammer [116] in the main body with a drill bit or screwdriver to release the striker from O-Ring (B) [26].
Page 26
(2) Disassembly of the change lever As shown in Fig. 15, pressing the Pushing Button [110] hard, turn the Change Lever [107] 45˚ counterclockwise from the "striking only" position ( mark). Pry out the Change Lever [107] at this position. Change Lever [107] Pushing Button [110] Fig.

Extract the Retaining Ring for D37 Hole [17], turn the Gear Cover [104] so that its tip portion is upward, and extract the Ball Bearing 6904CM [16] from the gear cover with a hand press. Pinch the bend of the Retaining Ring [103] with a pair of long-nose pliers in the arrow direction as shown in Fig.

9-2. Reassembly Perform reassembly in the reverse order of disassembly while observing the given precautions and taking care of the following points. (1) To make reassembly easier, coat the Steel Balls [18], [19] with grease. (2) Reassembly of the Change Lever [107] Press the Pushing Button [110] deeply into the hole of the Change Lever [107].
(5) Reassembly of the Gear Cover [104] After reassembly as shown in Fig. 25, ensure that the Change Lever [107] is adjusted to the "striking only" position. Engage the claws of the Clutch [122] and the Reciprocating Bearing [123] each other. Align the wing portion of the Lock Plate [119] horizontally and reinstall the Gear Cover [104] so that the wing portion of the lock plate is contained in the rail inside of the gear cover.
