How To Use; Lubrication - Hitachi DH 25DL Mode D'emploi

English
These data are for the referential values. The number of
holes that can be drilled varies according to the sharpness
of the used bit or the conditions of the concrete being
drilled.
CAUTION
When using this unit continuously, the unit may
overheat, leading to damage in the motor and switch.
Please leave it without using it for approximately
15 minutes.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION on lithium-ion battery
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with
the protection function to stop the output. Therefore, if
the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. However, this
is not the trouble but the result of protection function. In
this case, release the switch of tool and eliminate the
causes of overloading.
1. Switch operation
When the switch trigger is depressed, the tool rotates.
When the switch trigger is released, the tool stops.
The rotational speed of the rotary hammer can be
controlled by varying the amount that the switch
trigger is pulled. Speed is low when the switch
trigger is pulled slightly and increases as the switch
trigger is pulled more.
When releasing the switch trigger, the brake will
be applied for immediate stopping.
2. Rotation + Hammering
Align the " " mark with the "
rotating the change lever to set the "Rotation +
Hammering" function. (Fig. 9-a, Fig. 9-b)
(1) Mount the drill bit.
(2) Pull the trigger switch after applying the drill bit
tip to the drilling position. (Fig. 11)
(3) Pushing the rotary hammer forcibly is not necessary
at all. Pushing slightly so that drill dust comes out
gradually is just sufficient.
CAUTION:
When the drill bit touches construction iron bar, the
bit will stop immediately and the rotary hammer
will react to revolve. Therefore please grip the side
handle and handle tightly as shown in Fig. 11.
3. Rotation only
Align the " " mark with the "
the change lever to set the "Rotation only" function.
(Fig. 9-a, Fig. 9-b)
To drill a wood or metal material using the optional
drill chuck and chuck adapter, proceed as follows.
Installing drill chuck and chuck adapter: (Fig. 12)
(1) Attach the drill chuck to the chuck adaptor.
(2) The part of the SDS-plus shank is the same as the
drill bit. Therefore, refer to the item of "Mounting
the drill bit" for attaching it.
CAUTION
Application of force more than necessary will
not only expedite work at all, but will deteriorate
the tip edge of the drill bit and reduce the
service life of the rotary hammer in addition.
Drill bit may snap off while withdrawing the
rotary hammer from the drilled hole. For
withdrawing, it is important to use a pushing
motion.
Do not attempt to use the rotary hammer in the
rotation and striking mode with the drill chuck

4. When driving wood screws (Fig. 14)
(1) Selecting a suitable driver bit
(2) Tightening wood screws
CAUTION
5. Hammering only
(1) Mount the bull point or cold chisel.
6. Using depth gauge (Fig. 13)
(1) Loosen the knob on the side handle, and insert the
(2) Adjust the depth gauge position according to the
7. How to use the drill bit (taper shank) and the taper
" mark by
(1) Mount the taper shank adapter to the rotary hammer.
(2) Mount the drill bit (taper shank) to the taper shank
(3) Turn the switch ON, and drill a hole to prescribed
(4) To remove the drill bit (taper shank), insert the
8. Switching between the "SAVE" and the "POWER"
" mark by rotating
(1) "SAVE" mode ... decreased hammering force
(2) "POWER" mode ... increased hammering force
CAUTION

LUBRICATION

Low viscosity grease is applied to this rotary hammer so
that it can be used for a long period without replacing the
grease. Please contact the nearest service center for
and chuck adapter attached. This would seriously
shorten the service life of every component of
the machine.
Employ plus-head screws, if possible, since the driver
bit easily slips off the heads of slotted-head screws.
Prior to tightening wood screws, make pilot holes
suitable for them in the wooden board. Apply the
bit to the screw head grooves and gently drive the
screws in the holes.
Exercise care in preparing a pilot hole suitable for
the wood screw taking the hardness of the wood
into consideration. Should the hole be excessively
small or shallow, requiring much power to drive
the screw into it, the thread of the wood screw may
sometimes be damaged.
Align the " " mark with the "
the change lever to set the "Hammering only"
function. (Fig. 9-a)

modes
The hammering force of the hammer can be
increased or decreased to conform with intended
usage, by operating the shift knob as per Fig. 17.
Adjust the force to match the usage intended.
This can prevent thin drill bits which are less than
5 mm in diameter, from being bent or broken.
This can be used to speedily and efficiently drill
holes when the drill bits which are being used are
greater than 5 mm in diameter.
This can be used to drill holes into wood or metal.
Do not drill holes in wood with the "SAVE" mode.
There is a likelihood that the motor will burn out
because it can easily lock up due to the low power
