Hitachi DH 38MS Technical Data And Service Manual page 5

Refer to the Technical Data and Service Manual of the current Model DH 40MR for the following.
Easy-to-operate and double-molded side handle
The base material of the side handle is plastic resin. The plastic resin base is integrally molded with soft
resin to realize a double-layer structure. As a result, the grip of the soft side handle affords easier operation.
Change lever for switching between "Rotation + Hammering,"
"Neutral" and "Hammering only"
The Models DH 38MS provides three functions; the
"rotation + hammering" function (for drilling), "neutral"
function (for positioning the tool tip) and "hammering
only" function (for chiseling and chipping).
These function modes can be easily switched by
using the change lever. The tool angle can be easily
changed in 12 steps by turning the grip with the
change lever positioned at "Neutral."
Needle-pin type of slip clutch
The Model DH 38MS is equipped with a needle-pin type of slip clutch for higher slip torque accuracy and
enhanced safety (same as the Model DH 40MR).
