5-1. Selling Point Descriptions Common selling points (Models WH 12DM and WR 12DM) (1) New, compact and cyber design The Models WH 12DM/WR 12DM have vibrant and cyber looks thanks to the widely adopted soft urethane resin (elastomer) and the complicated 3-D curved surfaces, stirring up curiosity to touch them. The Models WH 12DM/WR 12DM are equipped with a separate-type motor in which the armature is separated from the magnet like a 100-V motor while the previous models are equipped with an integrated- type motor contained in a steel case.

2 Improved dust resistance The dust-resistant contact seal bearings are provided at the commutator side and the fan side. Thanks to the new bearings, hermeticity is enhanced because the seals of the bearings always contact the inner rings (C: non-contact bearings). The labyrinth construction is provided between the housing and the fan at the pinion side as shown in the figure below to ensure protection against dust because the pinion side must have high durability against heavy loads.

(3) Convenient one-touch hook A hook is very convenient if there is no place to put the impact driver temporarily. Although various kinds of hooks are on the market, there is a user demand for a standard accessory hook. To cope with this demand, the Models WH 12DM/WR 12DM are equipped with the hook having the following features as a standard accessory.

Selling points of the Model WR 12DM Powerful tightening torque 150 N m {1530 kgf cm, 1330 in-lbs.} • • The Model WR 12DM is equipped with the new rare-earth magnet motor that is more powerful than the previous model by 30% and the 35% larger hammer. With the computer analysis, the Model WR 12DM gives optimum impact at tightening bolts and the tightening torque is 27% higher than the previous Model WR 12DH, 25% higher than C, and equivalent to the 14.4 V-product Model WR 14DH.

7-3-2. Screw diameter and appropriate tightening torque Generally speaking, the appropriate tightening torque for a screw can be determined by the strength grade of the screw and the material tightened. Tables 1 and 2, and Fig. 5 below list data relative to the strength grade of various screws and the appropriate tightening torque.

8. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION 8-1. Safety Instructions In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of these tools by all our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale the salesperson carefully ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Handling Instructions, and fully understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the Caution Plate and Name Plate attached to each tool.
Page 30
Ensure that all customers understand that Type EB 1220BL or EB 1230HL Storage Batteries should be turned into any Hitachi power tool sales outlet or authorized service center when they are no longer capable of being recharged or repaired. If thrown into a fire, the batteries may explode, or if discarded indiscriminately, leakage of the cadmium compound contained in the battery may cause environmental pollution.
8-2. Tightening Torque Inspection Prior to Operation As described and shown in Para. 7-3-3, the output tightening torque of which the Models WH 12DM and WR 12DM are capable in excess of the rated tightening torque of certain bolts and screws. Accordingly, if the tightening time is prolonged for such bolts and screws, it could cause damage to their threads or, in the worst case, cause them to be sheared off.
(2) Effects of low ambient temperatures The tightening torque required may be reduced at low ambient temperatures or under the influence of grease and different torque coefficients (dependent on manufacturing and finishing processes, and specified by bolt manufacturers). (3) Different bolt diameter Differences in bolt diameter will cause variation of the required levels of tightening torque.
9. OTHER PRECAUTIONS (1) Check for cracks or other damage on the socket Cracks or any other faults on the socket are very hazardous. In addition, cracks or other damage to accessories will cause loss of tightening torque efficiency. Advise the customer to inspect accessories often, and ensure there are no abnormalities.
10. REPAIR GUIDE WARNING: Without fail, remove the Model EB 1220BL or EB 1230HL Battery from the main body before starting repair or maintenance work. Because the tool is cordless, if the battery is left in and the switch is activated inadvertently, the motor will start rotating unexpectedly, which could cause serious injury.
