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.  Inspecting the retainer (Fig. 1, Fig. 2)
  The retainer may become loose due to excessive 
use. Always, pay attention to its proper functioning to  
securely hold the accessory shank portion. If any wear 
and tear is found, bring this Demolition Hammer to an 
authorized service center for maintenance service.
4.  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.
5.  Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 4)
  The Motor employs carbon brushes which are 
consumable parts. When they become worn to or 
near the “wear limit”, it results 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 Fig. 4. In addition, always 
keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide 
freely within the brush holders.
6.  Replacing carbon brushes
  Loosen the screws (Hexagon socket hd. bolts M4 × 12) 
of the cap covers, then remove the cap covers (Fig. 5). 
After removing the brush caps, the carbon brushes can 
be removed.
  After replacing the carbon brushes, tighten the brush 
caps, then mount the cap covers securely.

country must be observed.
MODIFICATIONS
  Hitachi Power Tools are constantly being improved 
and modifi ed to incorporate the latest technological 
advancements.
  Accordingly, some parts (i.e. code numbers and/or 
design) may be changed without prior notice.
NOTE
Due to HITACHI’s continuing program of research and 
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to 
change without prior notice.
3. Extension cord
  When the work area is remote from the power source, 
use an extension cord of suffi  cient thickness and rated 
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as 
practicable.
4.  Mounting an accessory, such as a bull point, a 
cutter, etc.
CAUTION
  Be sure to switch OFF and disconnect the attachment 
plug from the receptacle to avoid a serious accident.
NOTE
  For accessories such as a bull point and a cutter, use 
only Hitachi genuine parts.
(1) Clean, then smear the accessory shank portion with 
grease or machine oil. (Fig. 1)
(2)  Rotate the stop lever 180° in a clockwise direction while 
pulling it toward you. Next, insert the accessory shank 
portion into the hexagonal hole on the front cover. 
(Fig. 1)
(3)  Clamp the accessory by turning the stop lever by half a 
turn in the opposite direction. (Fig. 2)
NOTE
  When removing the accessory, such as a bull point, a 
cutter, etc., follow the above procedures in reverse.
HOW TO USE THE DEMOLITION HAMMER 
1.   Pull the trigger switch after applying the tip of the bit to 
the crushing position.
  In some cases, it is necessary to punch the tip of the bit 
against the crushing position forcibly in order to begin 
the striking motion.
  This is not due to malfunction of the power tool. It means 
that the safe guard mechanism against no-load striking 
is working.
2.  Operate this Demolition Hammer by utilizing its empty 
weight. The performance will not be better even if it 
is pressed or thrust forcibly against the work surface. 
Hold this Demolition Hammer with a force just suffi  cient 
to counteract the reaction. (Fig. 3)
GREASE REPLACEMENT
This Demolition Hammer is of full air-tight construction 
to protect against dust and to prevent lubricant leakage. 
Therefore, this Demolition Hammer can be used without 
lubrication for long periods. Replace the grease as 
described below.
Grease Replacement Period
After purchase, replace grease after every 6 months 
of usage. Ask for grease replacement at the nearest 
authorized Service Center.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION
  Be sure to swith OFF and disconnect the attachment 
plug from the receptacle to avoid a serious accident.
1.  Inspecting this Demolition Hammer
  Since use of a dull accessory, such as a bull point, a 
cutter, etc. will degrade effi  ciency and cause possible 
motor malfunction, sharpen or replace with a new one 
as soon as abrasion is noted.
