Your Hitachi Impact Driver might not be running due to a lack of battery power. Try charging the battery. Also, if the trigger switch was held down while inserting the battery, it could activate a safety function. Release the trigger and pull it again to see if the tool starts.
What to do if my Hitachi WH18DBDL2 Impact Driver suddenly stopped?
If your Hitachi Impact Driver suddenly stopped, it could be due to several reasons. First, the tool might have been overburdened, so remove the cause of the overburden. Second, the battery may be overheated; allow it to cool down. Finally, the tool is designed to automatically stop the motor to prevent failure if the trigger switch is held down for 5 minutes or longer. This is not a malfunction.
Why does the screw head slip with my Hitachi WH18DBDL2 Impact Driver?
If the screw head slips or comes loose when using your Hitachi Impact Driver, ensure the bit number matches the screw size by installing a suitable bit. Also, check if the bit is worn and replace it with a new one if necessary.
Why is the battery life so short on my Hitachi WH18DBDL2?
If the battery usage time is short on your Hitachi Impact Driver, even after a full charge, the battery's life may be depleted. In this case, replace the battery with a new one.
Why do Hitachi WH18DBDL2 tool bits fall off?
If tool bits can’t be attached to your Hitachi Impact Driver or keep falling off, it may be because the shape of the attachment portion doesn’t match. Use a bit with a hexagonal shaft that has a width across flats of 6.35 mm. If you are using an L-type tool bit, replace it with an S-type bit.
What does it mean when Hitachi WH18DBDL2 Impact Driver charge indicator lamp blinks red?
If the charge indicator lamp blinks red and battery charging doesn’t begin on your Hitachi Impact Driver, make sure the battery is fully inserted. Additionally, if the battery is overheated, let it cool down. If left alone, the battery will automatically begin charging if its temperature decreases, but this may reduce battery life. It is recommended that the battery be cooled in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight before charging it.
Why does my Hitachi WH18DBDL2 battery take so long to charge?
If the battery takes a long time to charge for your Hitachi Impact Driver, it could be due to a few reasons. The temperature of the battery, the charger, or the surrounding environment might be extremely low, so charge the battery indoors or in a warmer environment. Also, the charger’s vents could be blocked, causing its internal components to overheat; avoid blocking the vents. Finally, the cooling fan may not be running. In this case, contact a Hitachi Authorized Service Center for repairs.
What does it mean when Hitachi WH18DBDL2 charge indicator lamp is blinking purple?
If the charge indicator lamp is rapidly blinking purple, and battery charging doesn’t begin on your Hitachi Impact Driver, ensure the battery is fully inserted. Also, check for any foreign matter in the battery terminal or where the battery is attached and remove it.
Why can't I pull the switch on my Hitachi Impact Driver?
If the switch can’t be pulled on your Hitachi Impact Driver, the forward/reverse selector button might be positioned halfway. Press the button firmly into position for the desired direction of rotation.
Why is my Hitachi WH18DBDL2 making a high-pitched noise?
If you hear an abnormal high-pitched noise when the trigger switch is pulled on your Hitachi Impact Driver, it's likely because the trigger switch is being pulled only slightly. This is not a malfunction and does not occur if the trigger switch is pulled more fully.
