Prior To Operation - Hitachi WH 9DMR Handling Instructions Manual

English
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger
after use, and then keep it.
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.
〈UC18YG〉
Before using the impact driver or impact wrench, charge
the battery as follows.
1. Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle
Connecting the power cord will turn on the charger.
2. Insert the battery into the charger
Insert the battery firmly while observing its direction,
until it contacts the bottom of the charger (the pilot
lamp lights up).
CAUTION
If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the
power cord from the AC outlet and check the
battery mounting condition.
About 60 minutes are required to fully charge the
battery at a temperature of about 20°C. 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 power cord from the
receptacle
4. Hold the charger tight and pull out the battery

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 (Impact driver)
Always follow the following procedure to install driver
bit (Fig. 2).
(1) Pull the guide sleeve 7 away from front of the tool.
(2) Insert the bit 9 into the hexagonal hole in the anvil 8.
(3) Release the guide sleeve 7 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
(Impact wrench)
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.
5. Installing a socket (Impact wrench)
Select the socket to be used.
Pin, O-ring type
(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.
