Maintenance And Inspection; Important - Hitachi DH 24PA Mode D'emploi

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the drill bits
Since use of a dull tool will cause motor
malfunctioning and degraded efficiency, replace the
drill bit with new ones or resharpen them without
delay when 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. 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 numbers
shown in Fig. 18.
In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and
ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders.
5. Replacing a carbon brush (Fig. 19)
Disassembling
(1) Loosen the three screws on the handle cover, and
remove the handle cover.
(2) Lift out the brush holder together with the carbon
brush, while being very careful not to forcibly pull
the lead wires within the brush holder.
(3) Withdraw the brush terminal, and remove the carbon
brush from the brush holder.
Reassembling
(1) Place a new carbon brush into the brush holder, and
connect the brush terminal to the carbon brush.
(2) Return the brush holder and other parts to their
original positions, as illustrated in Fig. 19.
(3) Place the lead wire in the specified position. Be very
careful not to allow the lead wire to contact the
armature or rotating parts of the motor.
(4) Replace the handle cover, while being careful to
ensure it does not pinch the lead wire, and secure it
firmly with the three screws.
CAUTION:
Should the lead wire be pinched by the handle cover
or come in contact with the armature or rotating
parts of the motor, a serious danger of electric shock
to the operator will be created. Excercise extreme
caution in disassembling and reassembling the motor,
following the above procedures exactly.
Do not attempt to disassemble any parts other than
those necessary to effect replacement of the carbon
brush.

may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire
coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or coloured red. Neither core
must be connected to the earth terminal.
NOTE:
This requirement is provided according to BRITISH
STANDARD 2769: 1984.
Therefore, the letter code and colour code may not be
applicable to other markets except The United Kingdom.
