Maintenance And Inspection - Hitachi DH25PB Instruction Manual

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING:
1. Inspecting the drill bits
Since use of a dull tool will cause motor malfunctioning and degraded efficiency, replace
the drill bit with a new one or resharpening without delay when abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the screws
Regularly inspect all screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of
the screws be loosened, retighten them immediately.
WARNING:
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power tool. Exercise due care to
ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes: (Fig. 18)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. When they become
worn to or near "wear limit", it could result in motor trouble. When an auto-stop carbon
brush is equipped, the motor will stop automatically. At that time, replace both carbon
brushes with new ones which have the same carbon brush Nos. shown in the figure.
In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within
the brush holders.
CAUTION:
Using this rotary hammer with a carbon brush which is worn in excess of the wear
limit will damage the motor.

Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the
receptacle during maintenance and inspection.
Using this rotary hammer with loosened screws is extremely
dangerous.
