Frequently Asked Questions - FDS 9DV HITACHI

How do I change the speed on the Hitachi FDS 9DV?

Use the shift knob to select low (L) or high (H) speed. Ensure the switch is off before changing. Low speed (0-280 min⁻¹) is for larger screws or drilling metal; high speed (0-850 min⁻¹) for smaller screws or wood.

How do I adjust the clutch (tightening power)?

Rotate the cap to align the white line with numerals 1-5 for screwdriving (1=weakest, 5=strongest) or to the drill mark for drilling. Adjust if screw head is damaged (too strong) or screw not driven fully (too weak).

What battery does the FDS 9DV use and how do I charge it?

It uses a Hitachi FEB9 Ni-Cd battery (9.6 V). Insert it into the UC9SC charger, connect to mains, and charge for about 1 hour at 20°C. The pilot lamp goes off when fully charged. Do not charge above 40°C or below 10°C.

How do I install or remove the battery?

To remove, hold the handle and push the battery latch while sliding the battery out. To install, align the grooves and push in until it clicks. Always ensure the reversing switch is in neutral before inserting.

What is the maximum drilling capacity?

Wood: 18 mm; Steel: 10 mm; Aluminum: 10 mm. For larger diameters in wood, use low speed. Always check for hidden wires when drilling into walls.

Can I use other batteries with this drill?

No, only use the specified Hitachi FEB9 battery. Using other batteries may cause damage or safety hazards. Do not use dry cells or car batteries.

How do I change the bit?

Use the keyless chuck: grasp the ring, turn the sleeve counterclockwise to loosen, insert the bit, then turn clockwise to tighten. If stuck, clamp the bit and turn the sleeve while operating the clutch at setting 1-3.

Why does the motor lock and what should I do?

Motor lock can occur if the clutch is set too high in high speed (setting 4-5 on H). Immediately release the switch. Switch to low speed (L) or reduce clutch setting. Avoid prolonged lock to prevent burn-out.

How do I maintain the drill?

Keep the tool clean and dry. Inspect mounting screws regularly and tighten if loose. Store below 40°C. Use only genuine Hitachi replacement parts. Wipe with a dry cloth; do not use solvents.

What safety precautions should I take?

When the pilot lamp does not go off even if more than four hour has passed after start of the charging, stop the charging and contact your HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

CAUTION

If the battery is heated due to direct sunlight, etc., just after operation, the charger pilot lamp may not light up. At that time cool the battery first, then start charging.

1. Disconnect the charger power cord from the receptacle.
2. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Setting up and checking the work environment

Check if the work environment is suitable by following the precautions.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION:

Before installing batteries, make sure that the reversing switch is in neutral position. (See Fig. 4.)

1. Confirm the cap position (see Fig. 5)

The tightening power of this unit can be adjusted according to the cap position, at which the cap is set.

(1) For using the unit as a screw driver, set the cap white line to one of the numerals "1" to "5" on the outer frame.
(2) For use as a drill, set the white line at the drill mark "◀◀◀" (see Fig. 5).

CAUTION

○Set the cap white line at one of either the numerals or drill marks.

1. Tlightening power adjustment
   (1) Tightening power

Tightening power should correspond in its intensity to the screw diameter. When too strong power is used, the screw head may be broken or be injured. Be sure to adjust the cap position according to the screw diameter.

(2) Tightening power indication

Tightening power should be changed according to

the screw type and the materials to be tightened. Guidance of the tightening power is indicated on the outer frame of this unit with numerals "1", "2", "3", "4" and "5". The minimum power is from "1" position and bigger numerals are stronger power than smaller numerals (see Fig. 5).

(3) How to adjust the tightening power

Rotate the cap and set to one of the numerals. Adjust the power by cap rotation in such a way that when the power is too strong, set to the next smaller numeral and set to the next larger numeral when too weak.

CAUTION

○The motor rotation may be locked to cease while the unit is used as a drill. While operating the driver drill, take care not to lock the motor.
○Too long hammering may cause the screw broken due to excessive tightening force.

3. Change rotation speed

Operate the shift knob to change the rotation speed. Move the shift knob in the direction of the arrow (see Figs. 6 and 7).

When the shift knob is set to "L", the drill rotates at a low speed. When set to "H", the drill rotates at a high speed.

CAUTION

When changing the rotation speed with the shift knob, confirm that the switch is off. Changing the speed while the motor is rotating will damage the gears.

When setting the shift knob to "H" (high speed) and the position of the cap is "4" or "5", it may happen that the clutch does not engage and that the motor is locked. In such a case, please set the shift knob to "L" (low speed).
○If the motor is locked, immediately turn the power off. If the motor is locked for a while, the motor or battery may be burnt out.

CAUTION

The selection examples shown in Table 2 should be utilized as a general standard. As different types of tightening screws and different materials to be tightened are used in actual works, proper adjustments are naturally necessary.

6. Mounting and dismounting of the bit.

(1) Mounting the bit

After inserting a driver bit, etc. into the keyless drill chuck, firmly grasp the ring and tighten the sleeve by turning it toward the right (in the clockwise direction as viewed from the front). (See Fig. 8)

○If the sleeve becomes loose during operation, tighten it further. The tightening force becomes stronger when the sleeve is tightened additionally.

(2) Dismounting the bit

Firmly grasp the ring and loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front). (See Fig. 8)

CAUTION:

When it is no longer possible to loosen the sleeve, use a vise or similar instrument to secure the bit. Set the clutch mode between 1 and 3 and then turn the sleeve to the loose side (left side) while operating the clutch. It should be easy now to loosen the sleeve.

NOTE

○There is a plus driver bit and a minus driver bit on both sides of the main unit. The bits can be removed by pulling them forward. After using the bits, make sure to firmly attach them to the main unit again. (Fig. 9)

7. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.

8. Check the rotation direction

When the reversing switch is set to (R), the drill rotates clockwise when viewed from the drill rear. When set to (L), the drill rotates counterclockwise (see Fig. 10). (The (L) and (R) marks are provided on the body.)

CAUTION:

○Make sure to firmly switch the reversing switch. If it is not switched firmly, the drill may not rotate even if the switch is turned on.

9. Switch operation

When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates. When the trigger is released, the tool stops.

○The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled

by varying the amount that the trigger switch is pulled. Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.

NOTE

A peep sound may be produced when the motor is about to rotate; This is only a noise, not a machine failure.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

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.

1. 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.
