GREASE REPLACEMENT

This Demolition Hammer is of full air-tight construction to
protect against dust and to prevent lubricant leakage.
Therefore, this Demolition Hammer can be used without
lubrication for long periods. Replace the grease as described
below.
Grease Replacement Period
After purchase, replace grease after every 6 months of
usage. Ask for grease replacement at the nearest authorized
Service Center.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION
Be sure to switch OFF and disconnect the attachment
plug from the receptacle to avoid a serious accident.
1. Inspecting accessories
Since use of a dull accessory, such as a bull point, a
cutter, etc. will degrade effi ciency and cause possible
motor malfunction, sharpen or replace with a new one 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. Replacing supply cord
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this
has to be done by the manufacturer of this agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
NOTE
Due to HITACHI's continuing program of research and
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
