Conduct a test before actual driving.
Soft-grip handle
The handle is widely covered with soft-touch elastomer (rubber-like soft resin). It is slip-resistant and
securely fits in the palm of a hand even if the gripping hand sweats.
Safe and secure lithium-ion batteries (Types BSL 1415 and BSL 1815)
The new 1.5 Ah Types BSL 1415 and BSL 1815 Lithium-ion Batteries were developed for light-duty work.
Both batteries are equipped with an overdischarge protection circuit, overload protection circuit, overheat
protection circuit and voltage monitoring circuit for each cell to prevent reduced battery service life due to
overdischarge (overuse) or overcharge (excessive charging). These protection circuits make it possible to
safely use the batteries.
Precautions on using the Types BSL 1415 and BSL 1815 Lithium-ion Batteries
The Types BSL 1415 and BSL 1815 Lithium-ion Batteries are both equipped with a protective function that
automatically stops output to prolong battery service life. The motor may stop automatically in any of cases
(1), (2) and (3) below, even if the switch is held down during operation. This is due to activation of the
protective function. The batteries are not faulty.

1. Safety Instructions
In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models DS 14DSFL and DS 18DSFL
Cordless Driver Drills by all of our customers, it is very important when concluding a sale that the
salesperson carefully ensure that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the Handling
Instructions, and fully understands the precautions listed on the Caution Plate and Nameplate attached to
each tool.
A. Handling instructions
Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar with the Handling Instructions in order to give pertinent advice to
the customer. In particular, they must have a thorough understanding of the precautions on using cordless
tools that differ from those of ordinary electric power tools.
(1) Before use, ensure that the unit is fully charged.
New units are not fully charged. Even if the units were fully charged at the factory, long periods of
inactivity, such as during shipment, cause the storage battery to lose its charge. Customers must be
instructed to fully charge the unit prior to use.
(2) Connect the charger to an AC power outlet only.
Use of any other power source (e.g., DC outlet, fuel powered generator) will cause the charger to
overheat and burn out.
(3) Do not use any voltage-increasing equipment (e.g., transformer) between the power source and
the charger.
Using the charger with voltage higher than that indicated on the unit will result in malfunction.
(4) Conduct battery charging at an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
Special temperature-sensitive devices are employed in the charger to permit rapid charging. Ensure
that customers are instructed to use the charger at the indicated ambient temperature range. At
temperatures below 0°C (32°F) the thermostat will not function properly, and the storage battery may be
overcharged. At temperatures above 50°C (122°F), the storage battery cannot be sufficiently charged.
The optimum temperature range is 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F).
(5) The battery charger should not be used continuously.
Charging more than three storage batteries in succession at high ambient temperature will cause the
temperature of coils on the transformer to rise, running the risk of the temperature fuse inserted inside
the transformer inadvertently melting. After charging one battery, please wait at least 15 minutes before
charging the next battery.
(6) Do not insert foreign objects into the air vents on the charger.
The charger case is equipped with air vents to protect internal electronic components against
overheating. Caution the customer not to drop or insert such foreign matter as metallic or flammable
objects into the air vents. This could cause electric shock, fire, or other serious hazards.
PRECAUTIONS ON SALES PROMOTION
-10-
(7) Do not attempt to disassemble the storage battery or the charger.
Special devices such as a thermostat are built into the storage battery and charger to permit rapid
charging. Incorrect parts replacement and/or wiring will cause malfunctions that could result in fire or
other hazards. Instruct the customer to bring these units to an authorized service center in the event
repair or replacement is necessary.
(8) Disposal of the storage battery
Ensure that all customers understand that the storage batteries should be returned to the Hitachi power
tool sales outlet or authorized service center when no longer capable of being recharged or repaired. If
thrown into a fire, the batteries may explode.
B. Caution plates
(1) The following cautions are listed on the nameplate attached to the main body of each tool.
[For the USA and Canada]
(2) The following cautions are listed on the nameplate attached to each storage battery.
[For Europe]
[For the USA and Canada]
(3) The following cautions are listed on the nameplate attached to the Model UC 18YGSL charger.

2. Inherent Drawbacks of Cordless Driver Drills Requiring
Particular Attention during Sales Promotion
The cordless driver drill offers many advantages; it can be used in places where no power source is
available, the absence of a cord allows easy use, etc. However, any cordless tool has certain inherent
drawbacks. Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar with these drawbacks in order to properly advise the
customer in the most efficient use of the tool.
A. Suggestions and precautions on efficient use of the tool
(1) Use the cordless driver drill for comparatively light work.
The motor output of battery driven cordless driver drills is rather low compared with conventional electric
power tools. Accordingly, they are not suitable for the continuous drilling of many holes in succession, or
for drilling into particularly hard material that imposes a heavy load. Salespersons should recommend
conventional electric power tools for such heavy work.
(2) Large-diameter holes should be drilled at low speed.
Instruct the customer that drilling large-diameter holes or performing other work that requires
particularly strong torque should be done at low speed. Because there is less torque at high speed,
attempting such work at high speed will not improve working efficiency.
(3) Do not insert a foreign object into body vent holes.
The body of this tool has vent holes for improved cooling efficiency. As a fan is built into the motor, a
foreign object inserted through a vent hole may cause failure. Please instruct customers to never insert
a foreign object into the vent holes.
(4) Use at thrust of 100 to 150 N (10 to 15 kgf, 22 to 23 lbs.)
The drilling speed of this unit does not accelerate even if the tool is pressed strongly against the
workpiece as when using a typical AC driver drill. Such operation will damage the drill bit, resulting in
not only poor working efficiency but also motor burnout.
(5) Avoid “locking” of the motor
Locking of the motor will generate an overload current that could result in motor burnout and/or rapid
battery deterioration. Salespersons should advise the customer to immediately release the switch and
stop operation if the motor becomes locked. (A jammed drill bit can be disengaged from the workpiece
material by setting the switch to reverse rotation, or by manually turning the main body of the tool.)
(6) Variation in amount of work possible per charge
Although the nominal chargeable capacity of the storage batteries used with the Models DS 14DSFL and
DS 18DSFL is 1.5 Ah, the actual capacity may vary within 10% of that value depending on ambient
temperature during use and charging, and the number of times the batteries have been recharged. It
should be noted that other factors that may affect the amount of work possible per charge are the
working conditions (e.g., ambient temperature, type and moisture content of the workpiece, sharpness
of the drill bit) and the operational skill of the user.

(7) Precautions on the use of HSS drill bits
For example, although the Model DS 18DSFL is designed for drilling capacities of 38 mm (1-1/2") in
wood, and 13 mm (1/2") in mild steel, this capability is not as efficient as conventional electric power
tools. In particular, when drilling through material with a 13 mm (1/2") drill bit, the drill tends to become
locked when the drill bit penetrates a material. For this reason, the customer should be cautioned to
reduce the thrust on the main body of the drill when drilling completely through a material to avoid
locking the tool. Repeated locking of the drill causes excessive current to flow from the battery, thereby
not only reducing the amount of work possible per charge, but also running the risk of motor burnout.
(8) Securely tighten the sleeve of the keyless chuck.
The keyless chuck may slip during operation when using a cylindrically shaped drill bit shank,
depending on the surface conditions, materials, and other factors. Please instruct customers to
retighten the keyless chuck more securely if the keyless chuck slips during operation. The holding force
of the keyless chuck increases as you increase the tightening force of the keyless chuck.
(9) Avoid continuous use.
Although the Models DS 14DSFL and DS 18DSFL can withstand continuous operation under certain
conditions, operating conditions differ depending on the workpiece material and sharpness of the drill bit
in use. Please instruct customers to avoid continuous use of the Models DS 14DSFL and DS 18DSFL,
and generally take about a 15 minute break following a single charge operation.
(10) Keep the battery out of dust.
Protect the battery from being covered with dust during operation. Protect the battery from being
covered with dust accumulated on the Models DS 14DSFL and DS 18DSFL during operation. Do not
leave the battery in a dusty area when not in use. Remove dust from the battery and store it separately
from such metallic parts as screws and nails.
B. Suggestions and precautions on efficient use of the charger and storage battery
If the Types BSL 1415 and BSL 1815 storage batteries are exposed to direct sunlight for an extended
period or if the tool has just been operated for a long time, charging may not be possible at battery
temperature above 50°C (122°F). In such case, the customer should be advised to place the battery in a
shaded area with a good airflow, and allow it to sufficiently cool down before recharging. This phenomenon
is common to all existing batteries and chargers that employ temperature-sensitive overcharge protection
devices. The cooling time required before recharging can be accomplished varies from a few minutes to
about 40 minutes, depending on the load, duration of use, and ambient temperature.
-13-
Be sure to remove the storage battery (Types BSL 1415, BSL 1815) from the main body before servicing.
Inadvertent triggering of the switch with the storage battery connected poses the danger of the motor
accidently turning.
