Prior To Operation - Hitachi DH 25DL Handling Instructions Manual

(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in the table below, and batteries that have
become hot should be cooled for a while before
being recharged.
Table 2 Recharging ranges of batteries
Charger
Rechargeable batteries
BSL2530, BSL3626
(3) Regarding recharging time
Depending on the type of the battery, the charging
time will decome as shown in Table 3.
Table 3 Charging time (At 20°C)
Battery type
BSL2530
BSL3626
NOTE: The charging time may vary according to ambient
temperature and power source voltage.
4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger
after use, and then keep it.
CAUTION
If the battery is charged while it is heated because
it has been left for a long time in a location subject
to direct sunlight or because the battery has just
been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights up
green. In such a case, first let the battery cool, then
start charging.
When the pilot lamp flikers in red quickly (at 0.2-
second intervals), check for and take out any foreign
objects in the charger's battery installation hole. If
there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the
battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
Authorized Service Center.
Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3
seconds to confirm that the battery being charged
with UCC36YRL is taken out, wait for a minimum
of 3 seconds before reinserting it to continue
charging. If the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds,
the battery may not be properly charged.
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.
UC36YRL
0°C – 50°C
Recharging time
Approx. 60 min.
Approx. 80 min.
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. Mounting the drill bit (Fig. 4, 5)
CAUTION:
To prevent accidents, make sure to turn the switch
off.
NOTE:
When using tools such as drill bits, etc., make sure
to use the genuine parts designated by our company.
(1) Clean the shank portion of the drill bit.
(2) Insert the drill bit in a twisting manner into the tool
holder until it latches itself. (Fig. 4)
(3) Check the latching by pulling on the drill bit.
(4) To remove the drill bit, fully pull the grip in the
direction of the arrow and pull out the drill bit.
2. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.
3. Installation of dust cup or dust collector (B) (Optional
accessories) (Fig. 6, Fig. 7)
When using a rotary hammer for upward drilling
operations attach a dust cup or a dust collector (B)
to collect dust or particles for easy operation.
Installing the dust cup
Use the dust cup by attaching to the drill bit as
shown in Fig. 6.
When using a bit which has big diameter, enlarge
the center hole of the dust cup with this rotary
hammer.
Installing dust collector (B)
When using dust collector (B), insert dust collector
(B) from the tip of the bit by aligning it to the
groove on the grip. (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
The dust cup and dust collector (B) are for exclusive
use of concrete drilling work. Do not use them for
wood or metal drilling work.
Insert dust collector (B) completely into the chuck
part of the main unit.
When turning the rotary hammer on while dust
collector (B) is detached from a concrete surface,
dust collector (B) will rotate together with the drill
bit. Make sure to turn on the switch after pressing
dust cup on the concrete surface. When using dust
collector (B) attached to a drill bit that has more
than 190 mm of overall length, dust collector (B)
cannot touch the concrete surface and will rotate.
Therefore, please use dust collector (B) by attaching
to drill bits which have 166 mm, 160 mm, and 110
mm overall length.
Dump particles after every two or three holes when
drilling.
Please replace the drill bit after removing dust
collector (B).
4. Selecting the driver bit
Screw heads or bits will be damaged unless a bit
appropriate for the screw diameter is employed to
drive in the screws.
