IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE OF THE IMPACT WRENCH
WARNING: Death or serious bodily injury could result from improper or unsafe use
of the impact wrench. To avoid these risks, follow these basic safety
instructions:
1. When working in high places, check there is nobody below. During operation, take care
not to catch or tighten the cord accidentally.
2. Use the earplugs if using for a long time use.
3. Switch the reversing switch only after the motor is stopped when it is necessary to change
the direction of the rotation.
4. Use a step up transformer when a long extension cable is used.
5. Confirm the tightening torque by a torque wrench before use in order to ascertain the
correct tightening torque to be used.
6. Attach the hex. socket securely onto the anvil. If the hex. socket is insufficiently secured,
it may drop out and cause an accident. For hex. socket attachment refer to "PRIOR TO
OPERATION" on page 13.
7. Confirm whether the socket has any crack in it.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Repairs should be conducted only by a Hitachi authorized service center.
POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electrick shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
English

DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER OPERATION
To ensure safer operation of this power tool, HITACHI has adopted a double insulation
design. “Double insulation “ means that two physically separated insulation systems have
been used to insulate the electrically conductive materials connected to the power supply
from the outer frame handled by the operator. Therefore, either the symbol “
” or the words
and “Double insulation” appear on the power tool or on the nameplate.
Although this system has no external grounding, you must still follow the normal electrical
safety precautions given in this Instruction Manual, including not using the power tool in wet
environments.
To keep the double insulation system effective, follow these precautions:
䡬 Only HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER should disassemble or assemble this
power tool, and only genuine HITACHI replacement parts should be installed.
䡬 Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water,
and dry thoroughly.
Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on plastic components; otherwise the plastic
may dissolve.

2. Extension bar : Code No. 873633 (WH14, WH16) Code No. 874535 (WH22)
The extension bar is convenient for working in very restricted spaces or when the socket
provided cannot reach the bolt to be tightened.
CAUTION:
When the extension bar is used the tightening torque is reduced slightly compared with
the ordinary socket. So it is necessary to operate the tool a little longer to get the same
torque.
3. Universal joint : Code No. 955135 (WH14) Code No. 955088 (WH22)
The universal joint is convenient for impacting nuts when there is an angle between the
socket and wrench, or when working in a very narrow space.
4. Corner attachment (Model EW-14R) (WH14, WH16)
Use this attachment only when the machine is applied to the nut or bolt at a right angle.
English
13
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements
specified on the product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while
the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately and can
cause serious injury.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient
thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
WARNING: Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
4. Check the receptacle
If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact
a licensed electrician to make appropriate repairs.
If such a fautly receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.
5. Confirming condition of the environment:
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to
prescribed precautions.
6. Attacking the side handle
The position of the side handle attached to
the hammer case can be changed by
unscrewing the handle. (Right hand screw)
Turn the handle to the desired position for
the job and secure the handle by screwing
up tight.
7. Mounting the socket
(1) Pin, O-ring type (WH22) (Fig.2)
Select a socket matched to the bolt to be
tightened or loosened. Insert the socket on
the anvil of the wrench, and secure it with
the pin and ring. When removing the socket,
reverse the sequence.
(2) Plunger type (WH14, WH16) (Fig.3)
Align the plunger located in the square
part of the anvil with the hole in the hex.
socket. Then push the plunger, and mount
the hex. socket on the anvil. Check that the
plunger is fully engaged in the hole. When
removing the socket, reverse the sequence.

HOW TO USE
1. Operation of switch (Fig.4)
The switch in this machine functions as a
motor switch and rotational direction
selector switch. When the switch is set to R
indicated on the handle cover, the motor
rotates clockwise to tighten the bolt. When
the switch is set to L, the motor rotates
counterclockwise to loosen the bolt. When
the switch is released, the motor stops.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn the switch OFF and wait
until the motor completely stops before
changing the direction of wrench
revolution. Switching while the motor is
rotating will result in burning the motor.
2. Tightening and loosening bolts
A hex. socket matching the bolt or nut must first be selected. Then mount the socket on
the anvil, and grip the nut to be tightened with the hex. socket. Holding the wrench in line
with the bolt, press the power switch to impact the nut for several seconds. If the nut is
only loosely fitted to the bolt, the bolt may turn with the nut, therefore preventing proper
tightening. In this case, stop impact on the nut and hold the bolt head with a wrench
before restarting impact, or manually tighten the bolt and nut to prevent them slipping.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
1. Confirm the line voltage (Figs.5, 6, 7,
8 and 9)
The available tightening torque is
influenced by line voltage. Reduced line
voltage lowers the available tightening
torque.
For example, if you use a 115 V type wrench
on a 105 V line the available tightening
torque will be reduced to 70 to 90%. When
extending the power cord, use an extension
cord which is as short as possible. When
the line voltage is low and a long extension
cord is needed a step up transfomer should
be used. The relation between the line
voltage and the tightening torque are
shown in the figures.

2. Work at a tightening torque suitable
for the bolt under impact
The optimum tightening torque for nuts
and bolts differs with material and size of
the nuts and bolts. An excessively large
tightening torque for a small bolt may
stretch or break the bolt. The tightening
torque increases proportionally to the
operating time. Use the correct operating
time for the bolt.
3. Selecting the socket to be matched
to the bolt
Be sure to use a socket which is matched to
the bolt to be tightened. Using an improper
socket will result not only in insufficient
tightening but also in damage to the socket
or nut.
A worn or deformed hex. or square-holed
socket will not give an adequate tightness
for fitting to the nut or anvil, consequently
resulting in loss of tightening torque.
Pay attention to wear of socket holes, and
replace before further wear has developes.
Matching socket and bolt sizes are shown
in Tables 1 and 2.
The numerical value of a socket designation
denotes the side-to-side distance (S) of its
hex. hole.
4. Holding the tool
Hold the Impact Wrench firmly with both
hands by the body handle and the side
handle. In this case hold the wrench in line
with the bolt.
It is not necessary to push the wrench very
hard. Hold the wrench with a force just
sufficient to counteract the impact force.
5. Confirm the tightening torque
The following factors contribute to a
reduction of the tightening torque. So
confirm the actual tightening torque
needed by screwing up some bolts before
the job with a hand torque wrench.
Factors affecting the tightening torque are
as follows.
(1) Line voltage:
The tightening torque decreases when the
line voltage becomes low. (See Figs. 5, 6, 7,
8 and 9)

(2) Operating time:
The tightening torque increases when the
operating time increases. But the tightening
torque does not increase above a certain
value even if the tool is driven for a long
time. (See Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9)
(3) Diameter of bolt:
The tightening torque differs with the
diameter of the bolt as shown in Figs. 5, 6,
7, 8 and 9. Generally a larger diameter bolt
has a larger tightening torque.
(4) Tightening conditions:
The tightening torque differs according to
the torque ratio; class, and length of bolts
even when bolts with the same size threads
are used. The tightening torque also differs
according to the condition of the surface of
metal through which the bolts are to be
tightened.
(5) Using optional parts:
The tightening torque is reduced a little when an extension bar, universal joint or a long
socket is used.
(6) Clearance of the socket:
A worn or deformed hex. or a square-holed socket will not give an adequate tightness to
the fitting between the nut or anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tightening torque.
Using an improper socket which does not match to the bolt will result in an insufficient
tightening torque. Matching socket and bolt sizes are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING: Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the receptacle
during maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the socket
A worn or deformed hex. or a square-holed socket will not give an adequate tightness to
the fitting between the nut or anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tightening torque.
Pay attention to wear of socket holes periodically, and replace with a new one if needed.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened.
Should any of the screws be lossened, retighten them immediately.
WARNING: Using this impact wrench with loosened screws is extremely dangerous.

3. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 10)
The motor employs carbon brushes which
are consumable parts. Replace the carbon
brush with a new one when it becomes
worn to its wear limit. Always keep carbon
brushes clean and ensure that they slide
freely within the brush holders.
CAUTION : Using this impact wrench with
a carbon brush which is worn
in excess of the wear limit will
damage the motor.
NOTE: Use HITACHI carbon brush number
indicated in Fig. 10.
4. Replacing carbon brushes
To replace carbon brushes, use a slotted
head screwdriver to disassemble the brush
caps after disassembling the cap covers.
Then remove the carbon brushes together
with the spring.
When assembling, reverse the procedure
for disassembling. In this case assemble
the cap covers after screwing up the brush
caps firmly.
SERVICE AND REPAIRS
All quality power tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts because of
wear from normal use. To assure that only authorized replacement parts will be used, all
service and repairs must be performed by a HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER, ONLY.
NOTE:
Specifications are subject to change without any obligation on the part of the HITACHI.
