Hitachi 12 V Cordless Driver Drill, Model DS 12DM 2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE The new Model DS 12DM is a compact and lightweight cordless driver drill that was developed to reinforce our 12-V product range including the well-reputed Model DS 12DVB. Thanks to the high-power rare-earth magnet...
4-1-2. Improved overload durability (improved cooling efficiency) The Model DS 12DM is equipped with the separate-type motor that is the same as a driver drill with a power cord. To improve the overload durability in continuous operation, the optimally designed cooling air path that is descended from the Model WH 12DM increases the cooling efficiency as well as the large radial fan increases the volume of air (see Fig.

4-1-4. Manual tightening mechanism The Model DS 12DM can be used as a manual screwdriver. When a screw cannot be driven completely by the operation with the clutch dial setting, flip off the switch and turn the main body by hand to drive the screw completely (maximum manual tightening torque: 22.5 N...

8-1. Safety Instructions In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model DS 12DM cordless driver drill by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale, the salesperson carefully ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Handling Instructions, and fully understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the Caution Plate and Name Plate attached to each tool.

Ensure that all customers understand that Type EB 1220BL or EB 1230HL storage battery should be returned to the Hitachi power tool sales outlet or the authorized service center when it is no longer capable of being recharged or repaired. If thrown into a fire, the battery may explode, or, if discarded indiscriminately, leakage of the cadmium compound contained in the battery may cause environmental pollution.
(5) Variation in amount of work possible per charge Although the nominal chargeable capacity of the storage batteries used with the Model DS 12DM is 2.0 Ah or 3.0 Ah, the actual capacity may vary within 10% of that value depending on the ambient temperature during use and charging, and the number of times the batteries have been recharged.

Please instruct the customers to avoid continuous use of the Model DS 12DM and take a pause about 15 minutes after a single charge operation as a guide.
80% of the full speed, the maximum torque is about 95% of that at a full speed (curve "A"). Even when the Model DS 12DM is operated at a speed about 30% of the full speed, the maximum torque does not decrease under about 65% of that at a full speed (curve "B") to ensure a sufficiently...
10. REPAIR GUIDE Be sure to remove the storage batteries from the main body before servicing. Inadvertent triggering of the switch with the storage battery connected will result in danger of accidental turning of the motor. 10-1. Precautions in Disassembly and Reassembly The [Bold] numbers in the descriptions below correspond to the item numbers in the Parts List and exploded assembly diagram for the Model DS 12DVB.
