3. Extension cord

When the work area is removed from the power

source. Use an extension cord of sufficient thickness

and rated capacity. The extension cord should be

kept as short as practicable.

4. Selecting the appropriate drill bit:

⅜ When boring metal or plastic

Use ordinary metalworking drill bits.

⅜ When boring wood

Use ordinary woodworking drill bits.

However, when drilling 6.5 mm or smaller holes,

use a metalworking drill bit.

5. Mounting and dismounting of the bit

For keyed chuck (Fig. 1)

(1) Open the chuck jaws, and insert the bit into the

chuck.

(2) Place the chuck wrench in each of the three holes

in the chuck, and turn it in the clockwise direction

(viewed from the front side). Tighten securely.

(3) To remove the bit, place the chuck wrench into one

of the holes in the chuck and turn it in the

counterclockwise direction.

For keyless chuck (Fig. 2)

(1) Open the chuck jaws, and insert the bit into the

chuck.

To open the chuck jaws, hold the ring while turning

the sleeve in the counterclockwise direction (viewed

from the front side).

(2) Firmly grasp the ring and turn the sleeve in the

clockwise direction. Tighten securely.

(3) To remove the bit, firmly grasp the ring and turn

the sleeve in the counterclockwise direction.

(4) If it is hard to loosen the sleeve, fix the spindle

using the open-end wrench, hold the sleeve firmly,

and turn it in the loosening direction

(counterclockwise when viewed from the front). (Fig.

6. Installing the side handle

For D10VG and D13VF

A Side handle is supplied with drill.

It can be installed on either side of the tool for right

or left handed use.

To install the side handle, thread it into the socket

on the desired side of the tool and tighten it securely.

(Fig. 4)

For D13VG

The large torque of the motor for this drill can result

in considerable reaction to your arms during drilling

work. Accordingly, make absolutely sure before use

that the side handle and the handle joint are

completely installed. (Fig. 5)

7. Check the rotational direction (Fig. 6)

The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear

side) by pushing the R-side of the push button.

The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the

bit counterclockwise.

(The

and

marks are provided on the body.)

8. Attaching the angle unit. (Optional accessory for

D13VF and D13VG)

(1) Removing chuck from drill (Fig. 7)

⅜ To remove the chuck from the drill, open the chuck

jaws as far as possible and turn out the locking

screw (left hand thread). This screw locks the chuck

to the spindle. And hold the drill so that only the

chuck rests firmly and squarely on the edge of a

solid bench. Install the hex. bar wrench into the

chuck. Turn the chuck until the wrench is at about

a 30° angle to the bench top and strike the wrench

sharply with a hammer so the chuck turns in the

counterclockwise direction (viewed from the front

side). This should loosen the chuck from the spindle

which has a right hand thread and you will be able

to remove the chuck by hand.

CAUTION:

If the chuck cannot be removed by striking the

wrench, don’t strike the wrench forcibly and send

the drill to a HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE

CENTER.

(2) Attaching the angle unit.

⅜ After removing the chuck, engage the coupling to

the drill spindle. Fit the joint sleeve to the gear

cover, attach the angle unit to the other end of the

joint sleeve, and turn the angle unit slightly in either

direction so the hex. hole in the coupling engages

the hex. portion of the angle unit spindle. Adjust

the direction of the angle unit and tighten the joint

sleeve by clamping bolts.

Tighten two clamping bolts equally and gradually

in turn with a torque of 70–80kg-cm. (extent of force

which can be subjected by only a wrist with the

open end wrench provided to tight clamping bolts.).

(Fig. 8)

⅜ To operate the angle unit at low speed, attach the

chuck to the angle unit spindle at the side marked

“LOW” and secure the locking screw. At this setting,

the drilling speed is decreased to about 70% and

the drilling torque increased to about 150%. (Fig.

⅜ To operate the angle unit at high speed, attach the

chuck to the angle unit spindle at the side marked

“HIGH” and secure the locking screw. At this setting,

the drilling speed is increased to about 150% and

the drilling torque decreased to about 70%. (Fig. 10)

(3) Installing the side handle (Fig. 11)

The side handle can be installed on either side of

the angle unit for right or left handed use. To install

the side handle, thread it into the socket on the

desired side of the angle unit and tighten it securely.

(4) Removing chuck from angle unit (Fig. 12)

⅜ The chuck can be removed from angle unit in the

same manner it was removed from the drill;

however, ALWAYS REMOVE ANGLE UNIT FROM

THE DRILL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LOOSEN

CHUCK. This will prevent damage of drills gear. Use

open end wrench provided to hold angle unit spindle

before attempting to loosen chuck.

CAUTION:

If the chuck cannot be removed by striking the

wrench, don’t strike the wrench forcibly and send

the drill to a HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE

CENTER.

9. Attaching the hook. (Optional accessory) (Fig. 13)

To attach the hook, it is necessary to disassemble

the handle portion which covered the tool’s electrical

system. For your continued safety and electrical

shock protection, installing the hook on this drill

should ONLY be performed by a HITACHI

AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
