Prior To Operation; How To Use - Hitachi WH 14DL Bedienungsanleitung

English
When the pilot lamp flikers in red quickly (at 0.2-
second intervals), check for and take out any foreign
objects in the charger's battery installation hole. If
there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the
battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
Authorized Service Center.
Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3
seconds to confirm that the battery being charged
with UC18YRL is taken out, wait for a minimum of 3
seconds before reinserting it to continue charging. If
the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery
may not be properly charged.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the
battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Preparing and checking the work environment
Make sure that the work site meets all the conditions
laid forth in the precautions.
2. Checking the battery
Make sure that the battery is installed firmly. If it is at
all loose it could come off and cause an accident.
3. Installing the bit (WH14DL, WH18DL)
Always follow the following procedure to install driver
bit (Fig. 2).
(1) Pull the guide sleeve 7 away from front of the tool.
(2) Insert the bit 9 into the hexagonal hole in the anvil 8.
(3) Release the guide sleeve 7 and it returns to its original
position.
CAUTION
If the guide sleeve does not return to its original
position, then the bit is not installed properly.
4. Selecting the socket matched to the bolt
(WR14DL, WR18DL)
Be sure to use a socket which is matched to the bolt
to be tightened. Using an improper socket will not
only result in insufficient tightening but also in
damage to the socket or nut.
A worn or deformed hex. or square-holed socket will
not give an adequate tightness for fitting to the nut or
anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tightening
torque.
Pay attention to wear of socket hole, and replace
before further wear has developed.
5. Installing a socket (WR14DL, WR18DL)
Select the socket to be used.
Pin, O-ring type
(1) Align the hole in the socket with the hole in the anvil
and insert the anvil into the socket.
(2) Insert the pin into the socket.

(3) Attach the ring to the groove on the socket.
Plunger type (Fig. 3)
Align the plunger located in the square part of the
anvil B with the hole in the hex. socket 0. Then push
the plunger, and mount the hex. socket 0 on the anvil
B. Check that the plunger is fully engaged in the hole.
When removing the socket 0, reverse the sequence.
Retaining ring type
(1) Align the square portions of the socket and the anvil
with each other.
(2) Make sure to firmly install the socket by pushing it all
the way into the anvil.
(3) When removing the socket, pull it out of the anvil.
CAUTION
Please use the designated attachments which are
listed in the operations manual and Hitachi's catalog.
Accidents or injuries could result from not doing so.
Make sure to firmly install the socket in the anvil. If
the socket is not firmly installed it might come out
and cause injuries.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION on lithium-ion battery
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips
with the protection function to stop the output. Therefore,
if the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. However,
this is not the trouble but the result of protection function.
In this case, release the switch of tool and eliminate the
causes of overloading.
CAUTION
When using the light equipped hook, pay sufficient
attention so that the main equipment does not fall. If
the tool falls, there is a risk of accident.
Do not attach the tip tool except phillips bit to the tool
main unit when carrying the tool main unit with the
light equipped hook suspended from a waist belt.
Injury may result if you carry the equipment
suspended from the waist belt with sharp tipped
components such as drill bit attached.
1. Using the light equipped hook
The light equipped hook can be installed on the right
or left side and the angle can be adjusted in 5 steps
between 0° and 80°.
(1) Operating the hook
(a) Pull out the hook E toward you in the direction of
(b) The angle can be adjusted in 5 steps (0°, 20°, 40°,
(2) Switching the hook position
CAUTION
Incomplete installation of the hook may result in
bodily injury when used.
(a) Securely hold the main unit and remove the screw
(b) Remove the hook E and spring F (Fig. 7).
(c) Install the hook E and spring F on the other side
NOTE
Pay attention to the spring F orientation. Install the
spring F with larger diameter G away from you
(Fig. 8).
