(3) After replacing the grease, reassemble the crank cover securely. At this time, do not damage or lose the oil seal. NOTE: The Hitachi Electric Hammer Grease A is of the low viscosity type. When the grease is consumed, purchase from the authorized Hitachi Service Center. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION CAUTION Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the receptacle to avoid serious trouble. 1. Inspecting the tool Since use of a dull tool will degrade efficiency and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace the tool as soon as 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. Maintenance of the motor The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water. 4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 8) The Motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. When they become worn to or near the “wear limit”, it could result in motor trouble. When an auto-stop carbon brush is equipped, the motor will stop automatically. At that time, replace both carbon brushes with new ones which have the same carbon brush Number shown in the figure. In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders. 5. Replacing carbon brushes: Loosen the set screw and remove the tail cover. Remove the brush caps and carbon brushes. After replacing the carbon brushes, do not forget to tighten the brush caps properly and install the tail cover. 6.
