Prior To Operation; How To Use - Hitachi Koki WP 14DSL Handling Instructions Manual

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:
When the battery charger has been continuosly used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next
charging.
If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to
battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp
map light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let
the battery cool before charging.
When the pilot lamp flickers in red (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.

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
Always follow the following procedure to install bit
piece and driver bit. (Fig. 5)
(1) Pull the guide sleeve away from front of the tool.
(2) Insert the bit piece and driver bit into the hexagonal
hole in the anvil.
(3) Release the guide sleeve 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.
This product also comes equipped with a bit piece.
Make sure that the bit piece is inside of the hexagonal
hole in the main shaft, then install the bit. (Fig. 6)

HOW TO USE

1. Check the rotational direction
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side)
by pushing the R-side of the push button.
The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the bit
counterclockwise. (See Fig. 7) (The
are provided on the body.)
CAUTION:
The push button cannot be switched while the oil
pulse driver is turning. To switch the push button,
stop the oil pulse driver, then set the push button.
2. Switch operation
When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates.
When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
The rotational speed can be controlled by varying the
amount that the trigger switch is pulled. Speed is low
when the trigger switch is pulled slightly and increases
as the trigger switch is pulled more.
3. Change rotation speed
As shown in Fig. 8, when the rotation switch-over
lever is slid to the lower side, the power mode (P) is
set. And when slid to upper side, the save mode (S) is
set.
Please use the save mode (S) when you want to lower
Maximum tightening torque.
CAUTION
In the work of the save mode (S), avoid the continuous
screw-tightening as temperature of electronic
components of the converter switch increases.
4. Tightening and loosening wood screws
Install the bit that matches the screw, line up the bit
in the grooves of the head of the screw, then tighten
it.
Push the oil pulse driver just enough to keep the bit
fitting the head of the screw.
CAUTION:
Applying the oil pulse driver for too long tightens the
screw too much and can break it.
Tightening a screw with the oil pulse driver at an
angle to that screw can damage the head of the
screw and the proper force will not be transmitted to
the screw.
Tighten with this oil pulse driver lined up straight
with the screw.
5. Number of screws tightenings possible
Please refer to the table below for the number of
screw tightened possible with one charge.
Screw used
Wood screw ø4 x 50
(Soft wood)
These values may vary slightly, according to
surrounding temperature and battery characteristics.
6. Using the hook
The hook is used to hang up the power tool to your
waist belt while working.
CAUTION:
When using the hook, hang up the power tool firmly
not to drop accidentally.
If the power tool is dropped, it may lead to an accident.
When carrying the power tool with hooked to your
waist belt, do not fit any bit to the tip of power tool. If
the sharp bit such as drill is fitted to the power tool
when carrying it with hooked to your waist belt, you
will be injured.
Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely
installed, it may cause an injury while using.
(1) Removing the hook.
Remove the screws fixing the hook with Philips screw
driver. (Fig. 9)
