Hitachi Drills - Page 9 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Hi, these impact drills need greese to function properly and some modles leek more than others. As its new you could ask for a new seal, as this is what is allowing the oil to leek. Hope this helps

If the chuck is too tight to get the bit out you can either put a glove on one hand grab the chuck and run the drill in the reverse direction or if that will not work use vise grips or a small pipe wrench on the chuck to loosen it but be sure to tape the pipe wrench or vise grips with a thin piece of duct tape so you don't gouge the drill chuck.

Yes and also the commutator that the brushes ride on will need to be cleaned fron the wear of the brushes build up. When it gets dirty from wear it will tend to slow the RPM's down quite a bit

most are screwed on

Mine is slipping in one of the ratios because the plastic molded teeth in the gear housing have stripped out. The chuck still turns but no matter how tight the clutch is it still slips because the whole gear assembly is spinning in the housing. The part is No. 18 on the exploded parts diagram and is relatively cheap to buy if you want to fix it yourself. Also the gear selector switch may have a build up in the slot in the casing that stops it clicking into position. Good luck.

You are ok with what you got. The cordless saws take a lot of power to cut wood so it drains the battery fast. I have the ridged setup and my battery on a full charge only gets 4 cuts on a 2x4 befor it is dead. The saws will not give you any worning becauase the teath of the blade will get stuck in the wood so it just will not slow down like the drill will. I hope this helps with your ?

hi

try to charge the battery at full level and see what happens then.

regards savumihai71

sounds like your battery is either shorted out or out of charge

The chuck is probably attached to the shaft with a left hand thread. Engage the spindle lock and turn the chuck clockwise to unscrew it.

Hi there,

The speed shift slider switch wasn't lined up correctly when the unit was reassembled.

Unfortunately, you going to need to repeat the disassemble/reassemble process once more.

I've been there. It doesn't take much to be out of alignment. Set everything to the lowest setting (clutch, speed) and take your time.

Best regards
Mike

Not entirely familiar with this model but most chucks are secured by a screw inside the chuck. Open the the chuck to its fullest aperture and look inside. There should be a centre screw ... it will be a left hand thread. Remove the screw. Hold the chuck firmly, reverse the drill. The chuck should unscrew from the shaft. Installation is a reversal of the removal procedure.

Well, it's highly unlikely as long as it is a HXP 18V Li-ion battery because pretty much all hitachi stuff is imported. The companies HQ is in Japan and so id the largest manufacturing plant. I hope this helps please rate this thank you

Probably switch--try spraying electronic contact cleaner into it with the small tube.

The charger is damaged. Return it to the place of purchase and demand a refund or replacement. If you paid by credit card call the credit card company and cancel that transaction.

Batterys are not necessarily universal even withing voltage ratings by make and model. A bone of contention for many users for many years.

Rigid and Ryobi are two companies that have use standard batteries for their tool line. Consider this when making future tool purchasing decisions.

hi this may be the brushes on the motor either stuck and worn or just stuck, you might be able to get replacement brushes if you can take it appart to replace them...hope this helps
