Prior To Operation; How To Use - Hitachi DS 14DSAL Handling Instructions Manual

English
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.
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 for 1 second,
does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds). In
such a case, first let the battery cool, then start
charging.
Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3
seconds to confirm that the battery being charged
with UC18YGSL 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.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

Setting up and checking the work environment
Check if the work environment is suitable by following
the precautions.

HOW TO USE

1. Confirm the clutch dial position (See Fig. 7)
The tightening torque of this unit can be adjusted
according to the clutch dial position, at which the
clutch dial is set.
(1) When using this unit as a screwdriver, line up the one
of the numbers "1, 3, 5 ... 22" on the clutch dial, or
the dots, with the triangle mark on the outer body.
(2) When using this unit as a drill, align the clutch dial drill
mark " " with the triangle mark on the outer body.
CAUTION:
The clutch dial cannot be set between the numerals
"1, 3, 5 ... 22" or the dots.

Do not use with the clutch dial numeral between
"22" and the line at the middle of the drill mark.
Doing so may cause damage. (See Fig. 8)
2. Tightening torque adjustment
(1) Tightening torque
Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity
to the screw diameter. When too strong torque is
used, the screw head may be broken or be injured.
Be sure to adjust the clutch dial position according to
the screw diameter.
(2) Tightening torque indication
The tightening torque differs depending on the type
of screw and the material being tightened.
The unit indicates the tightening torque with the
numbers "1, 3, 5 ... 22" on the clutch dial , and the
dots. The tightening toque at position "1" is the
weakest and the torque is strongest at the highest
number. (See Fig. 7)
(3) Adjusting the tightening torque
Rotate the clutch dial and line up the numbers "1, 3,
5, ... 22" on the clutch dial, or the dots, with the
triangle mark on the outer body. Adjust the clutch
dial in the weak or the strong torque direction
according to the torque you need.
CAUTION:
The motor rotation may be locked to cease while the
unit is used as drill. While operating the driver drill,
take care not to lock the motor.
Too long hammering may cause the screw broken
due to excessive tightening.
3. Change rotation speed
Operate the shift knob to change the rotational speed.
Move the shift knob in the direction of the arrow (See
Figs. 9 and 10).
When the shift knob is set to "LOW", the drill rotates at a
low speed. When set to "HIGH", the drill rotates at a high
speed.
CAUTION:
When changing the rotational speed with the shift
knob, confirm that the switch is off.
Changing the speed while the motor is rotating will
damage the gears.
If the motor is locked, immediately turn the power
off. If the motor is locked for a while, the motor or
battery may be burnt.
Be sure to turn the shift knob.
