5. Replacing carbon brushes
Take out the carbon brush by fi rst removing the brush cap
and then hooking the protrusion of the carbon brush with a
fl at head screw driver, etc., as shown in Fig. 23.
When installing the carbon brush, choose the direction so
that the nail of the carbon brush agrees with the contact
portion outside the brush tube. Then push it in with a fi nger
as illustrated in Fig. 24. Lastly, install the brush cap.
CAUTION
Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon
brush into the contact portion outside the brush
tube. (You can insert whichever one of the two nails
provided).
Caution must be exercised since any error in this
operation can result in the deformed nail of the carbon
brush and may cause motor trouble at an early stage.
6. Cleaning on the outside
When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric
solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, as they melt plastics.
7. Storage
Store the power tool in a place in which the temperature is
less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
NOTE
Make sure that the battery is fully charged when stored for a long period (3 months or
more). The battery with smaller capacity may not be able to be charged when used, if
stored for a long period.
8. Service parts list
CAUTION
Repair, modifi cation and inspection of Hitachi Power Tools must be carried out by

standards prescribed in each country must be observed.
