Now, we bring out the new cordless impact driver Model WH 12DH developed based on the previous Model WH 12DC. The Model WH 12DH has more compact body, better tightening performance and longer service life than those of the previous model, and is equipped with a replaceable carbon brush motor.
5-1. Selling Point Descriptions (1) Faster tightening speed The Model WH 12DH provides faster driving speed than the previous model thanks to the high power rare- earth magnet motor and the higher moment of inertia of the hammer. The comparisons with the previous Model WH 12DC and maker C's model are shown below.

(5.31 lbs) (3) Improved motor performance The Models WH 12DH and WR 12DH are compact and have high power thanks to the rare-earth magnet motor. Furthermore, these models have better heat resistance because the built-in fan enhances cooling efficiency. Their motors have replaceable carbon brushes, and the service life of the carbon brush has been extended by increasing its volume (by about 30 % compared to our previous model) and making seven slots in a motor armature core.

(5) Safe handle shape Compared with the previous WH 12DC, the housing of the Model WH 12DH produces no clearance caused by vibration because grips (R) and (F) (made of rubber) are provided at the juncture of the handle and the housing is secured with two screws at the center of the handle to prevent the operator's hand from being pinched.

7-3-1. Tightening Torque Characteristic comparisons The Model WH 12DH and WR 12DH provide greater tightening torque than that of the previous models thanks to the high power rare-earth magnet motor and the higher moment of inertia of the hammer. The tightening torque does not drop even when loosening bolts because the motor runs at the same torque and speed in both the forward and reverse directions.

7-3-2. Screw Diameter and Appropriate Tightening Torque Generally speaking, the appropriate tightening torque for a screw can be determined by the strength grade of the screw and the material tightened. Tables 1 and 2, and Fig. 5 below list data relative to the strength grade of various screws and the appropriate tightening torque.

8. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION 8-1. Safety Instructions In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of these tools by all 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.
Page 23
Ensure that all customers understand that Type EB 12B or EB 12H Storage Batteries should be turned into any Hitachi power tool sales outlet or authorized service center when they are no longer capable of being recharged or repaired. If thrown into a fire, the batteries may explode, or if discarded indiscriminately, leakage of the cadmium compound contained in the battery may cause environmental pollution.
8-2. Tightening Torque Inspection Prior to Operation As described and shown in Para. 7-3-3, the output tightening torque of which the Models WH 12DH and WR 12DH are capable in excess of the rated tightening torque of certain bolts and screws. Accordingly, if the tightening time is prolonged for such bolts and screws, it could cause damage to their threads or, in the worst case, cause them to be sheared off.
Page 25
(1) Voltage of battery Tightening torque is affected by the voltage output of the battery. For example, the relationship between tightening torque and the number of M14 x 50 mm (9/16" x 1-7/8") high-strength bolts tightened is shown in Fig. 8 below. As can be seen in the graph, tightening torque decreases as the number of bolts tightened increases.
(6) Wear and looseness of the socket With extended use, the hexagonal portion of the socket which is fitted to the head of the bolt or drill bit, and/or hexagonal portion of the driver chuck which is fitted onto the anvil in the main body will become worn and loose.
9. OTHER PRECAUTIONS (1) Check for cracks or other damage on the socket Cracks or any other faults on the socket are very hazardous. In addition, cracks or other damage to accessories will cause loss of tightening torque efficiency. Advise the customer to inspect accessories often, and ensure there are no abnormalities.
