Prior To Operation; How To Use - Hitachi WH 12DAF2 Handling Instructions Manual

The pilot lamp goes off to indicate that the battery is
fully charged.
The battery charging time becomes longer when a
temperature is low or the voltage of the power source
is too low.
When the pilot lamp does not go off even if more
than 120 minutes have elapsed after starting of the
charging, stop the charging and contact your HITACHI
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
CAUTION
If the battery is heated due to direct sunlight, etc.,
just after operation, the charger pilot lamp may
not light up. At that time, cool the battery first,
then start charging.
3. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle
4. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery
NOTE
After charging, pull out batteries from the charger
first, and then keep the batteries properly.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries,
etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an extended
period is not activated, the electric discharge might
be low when using them the first and second time.
This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time
required for recharging will be restored by recharging
the batteries 2 – 3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the
battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Preparing and checking the work environment
Make sure that the work site meets all the conditions
laid forth in the precautions.
2. Checking the battery
Make sure that the battery is installed firmly. If it is at
all loose it could come off and cause an accident.
3. Installing the bit (WH12DAF2)
Always follow the following procedure to install driver
bit. (Fig. 5)
(1) Pull the guide sleeve away from front of the tool.
(2) Insert the bit into the hexagonal hole in the anvil.
(3) Release the guide sleeve and it returns to its original
position.
CAUTION:
If the guide sleeve does not return to its original
position, then the bit is not installed properly.
4. Selecting the socket matched to the bolt
(WR12DAF2)
Be sure to use a socket which is matched to the bolt
to be tightened. Using an improper socket will not
only result in insufficient tightening but also in
damage to the socket or nut.
A worn or deformed hex. or square-holed socket will
not give an adequate tightness for fitting to the nut or
anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tightening
torque.
Pay attention to wear of socket hole, and replace
before further wear has developed.
Finally, install the socket prescribed in Item 5. The
section on "Optional Accessories" details the
relationship between bolt sizes and sockets. Sockets
are named according to the dihedral width of the
hexagonal hole.
5. Installing a socket (WR12DAF2)
Select the socket to be used.
Pin, O-ring type (Fig. 6 and 7)
(1) Align the hole in the socket with the hole in the anvil
and insert the anvil into the socket.
(2) Insert the pin into the socket.
(3) Attach the ring to the groove on the socket.
Plunger type (Fig. 8)
Align the plunger located in the square part of the
anvil with the hole in the hex. socket. Then push the
plunger, and mount the hex. socket on the anvil.
Check that the plunger is fully engaged in the hole.
When removing the socket, reverse the sequence.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION:
When using the light equipped hook, pay sufficient
attention so that the main equipment does not fall. If
the tool falls, there is a risk of accident.
Do not attach the tip tool except phillips bit to the tool
main unit when carrying the tool main unit with the
light equipped hook suspended from a waist belt.
Injury may result if you carry the equipment
suspended from the waist belt with sharp tipped
components such as drill bit attached.
1. Using the light equipped hook
The light equipped hook can be installed on the right
or left side and the angle can be adjusted in 5 steps
between 0° and 80°.
(1) Operating the hook
(a) Pull out the hook toward you in the direction of
arrow (A) and turn in the direction of arrow (B).
(Fig. 9)
(b) The angle can be adjusted in 5 steps (0°, 20°, 40°,
60°, 80°).
Adjust the angle of the hook to the desired position
for use.
(2) Switching the hook position
CAUTION:
Incomplete installation of the hook may result in
bodily injury when used.
(a) Securely hold the main unit and remove the screw
using a slotted head screwdriver or a coin. (Fig.
10)
(b) Remove the hook and spring. (Fig. 11)
(c) Install the hook and spring on the other side and
securely fasten with screw. (Fig. 12)
