HOW TO HANDLE A CORE BIT
When a core bit is used, large diameter holes and blind
holes can be drilled. In this case, use optional accessories
for core bits (such as a center pin and core bit shank) for
more efficient operation.
1. Mounting
CAUTION
Prior to mounting a core bit, always disconnect the
plug from the power supply receptacle.
(1) Mount the core bit on the core bit shank. (Fig. 15)
Before that, feed oil to the screw portion of core bit
shank for easy dismounting.
(2) Mount the core bit shank on the main body in the
same manner as in mounting the drill bit and the bull
point. (Fig. 16)
(3) Insert the center pin into the guide plate until it reaches
the extremity.
(4) Fit in the guide plate by aligning its concaved portion
with the core bit tip. When the position of the concave
is shifted by turning the guide plate right or left, the
guide plate never slips off even when the drill is used
in a downward direction. (Fig. 17)
2. Drilling holes
(1) Insert the plug into a receptacle.
(2) A spring is built in the center pin. By straightly and
gently pressing it to the wall or floor surface, the entire
surface of the core bit tip attains contact to start the
hole drilling job. (Fig. 18)
(3) When the hole depth reaches approximately 5 mm,
the hole position can be determined. Then remove
the center pin and guide plate from the core bit and
continue the hole drilling job.
CAUTION
When removing the center pin and guide plate, always
disconnect the plug from the receptacle.
3. How to dismount the core bit
By holding the rotary hammer (with the core bit
inserted) in an upward position, drive the rotary
hammer to repeat impact operation two or three
times, whereby the screw is loosened and the rotary
hammer becomes ready for disassembly. (Fig. 19)
Remove the core bit shank from the rotary hammer,
hold the core bit with one hand, and strongly strike
the head of the SDS max shank portion of the core bit
shank with a manual hammer two or three times,
whereby the round head screw is loosened and the
rotary hammer is ready for disassembly. (Fig. 20)
HOW TO REPLACE GREASE
This machine is of full air-tight construction to protect
against dust and to prevent lubricant leakage. Therefore,
the machine can be used without lubrication for long
periods. Replace the grease as described below.
1. Grease replacement period
After purchase, replace grease after every 6 months
of usage. Ask for grease replacement at the nearest
Hitachi authorized Service center. Proceed for
replacement of grease.
2. Grease replenishment
CAUTION
Before replenishing the grease, turn the power off and
pull out the power plug.
(1) Remove the crank cover and wipe off the grease
inside. (Fig. 21)
(2) Supply 30g of Hitachi Electric Hammer Grease A
(Standard accessory, contained in tube) to the crank
case.
(3) After replenishing the grease, install the crank cover
securely.
NOTE
The Hitachi Electric Hammer Grease A is of the low
viscosity type. If necessary purchase from an Hitachi
authorized Service center.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the tool
Since use of a dull tool will degrade efficiency and
cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace
the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws:
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do
so could result in serious hazard.
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. 22)
The Motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. When they become worn to or near
the "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 Numbers shown in the figure. In addition,
always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that
they slide freely within the brush holders.
5. Replacing carbon brushes
Loosen the two set screws and remove the tail cover.
Remove the brush caps and carbon brushes. After
replacing the carbon brushes, tighten the brush caps
securely and install the tail cover with securely
tightening two set screws.

CAUTION
Repair, modification and inspection of Hitachi Power
Tools must be carried out by an Hitachi Authorized
Service Center.
This Parts List will be helpful if presented with the
tool to the Hitachi Authorized Service Center when
requesting repair or other maintenance.
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
MODIFICATIONS
Hitachi Power Tools are constantly being improved
and modified to incorporate the latest technological
advancements.
Accordingly, some parts (i.e. code numbers and/or
design) may be changed without prior notice.
