SERVICE
AND
REPAIRS
All
quality
tools
will
eventually
require
servicing
or
replacement
of
parts
due
to
wear
from
normal
use.
These
operations
should
ONLY
be
performed by
an
AUTHORIZED
HITACHI
POWER
TOOL
REPAIR
SHOP.
REPLACEMENT
PARTS
When
servicing
use
only
identical
replacement
parts.
POLARIZED
PLUGS
To reduce
the risk
of electric shock, this equipment has
a
polarized
plug
(one blade is
wider than the
other).
This plug will fit
in a
polarized outlet only one way.
If
the
plug
does
not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the
plug.
If
it
still
does
not
fit,
contact
a
qualified electrician
to install
the
proper
outlet.
Do not change the
plug in
any way.
EXTENSION
CORD
Make
sure
your
extension
cord
is
in good condision.
When using
an
extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough
to
carry the current
your
product will
draw.
An
undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
Table shows
the correct size to
use
depending on cord
length and nameplate
ampere
rating. If
in doubt,
use the next
heavier
gage. The smaller
the
gage
number, the heavier
the
cord.
