MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION:
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug before and during maintenance and inspection.
1.Inspecting this demolition hammer
Since use of a dull accessory, such as a bull point, a cutter, etc., will cause motor malfunctioning and efficiency degraded efficiently, whet it or replace with a new one 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.Inspecting the retainer (Fig.2 and 3)
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.Inspecting the carbon brushes: (Fig. 7)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts.
Since an excessively worn carbon brush results in motor trouble, replace the carbon brush with a new one which has the same carbon brush No. shown in figure 7 when it becomes worn to or near “wear limit”.
In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders.
Fig. 7
5.Replacing a carbon brush
The carbon brush can be removed by removing the cap cover, cap rubber and brush cap in that order at the interior.
NOTE:
Due to HITACHI’s continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without prior notice.
