Product Overview
The HiKOKI D 10VF, D 10VG, D 13VF, and D 13VG are professional-grade mains-operated rotary drills designed for boring holes in metal, wood, and plastic. These models feature high-torque motors and are available with either keyed or keyless chucks depending on the specific configuration.
Safety Precautions
- Always wear ear protection when using impact drills to prevent hearing loss.
- Use the supplied auxiliary side handle to maintain control and prevent personal injury.
- Do not wear loose clothing or gloves made of materials that can roll up (e.g., cotton, wool, string).
- Before drilling into walls, ceilings, or floors, ensure there are no hidden electrical cables or conduits.
- Always disconnect the power plug before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Operation
The drill speed is controlled by the trigger switch; pulling it slightly results in low speed, while pulling it further increases the speed. A stopper button is provided for continuous operation. The rotational direction can be reversed using the push button on the body (R for clockwise, L for counter-clockwise). For models D13VF and D13VG, an optional angle attachment is available for specialized drilling tasks.
Maintenance and Inspection
- Drill Bits: Replace or resharpen abraded drill bits immediately to prevent motor malfunction and maintain efficiency.
- Mounting Screws: Regularly inspect all screws to ensure they are properly tightened.
- Motor: Keep the motor winding clean and free from oil or water.
- Carbon Brushes: Inspection and replacement of carbon brushes must only be performed by a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center to ensure electrical safety.

Before use
- Ensure the power source matches the voltage on the product nameplate.
- Check that the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in.
- Verify that the side handle and handle joint (if applicable) are securely installed.
- Ensure the drill bit is correctly mounted and tightened in the chuck.
- Check that the rotational direction is set correctly (R/L).
- Confirm no electrical cables or pipes are behind the drilling surface.
Specs in practice
- No load speed
- The rotational speed of the drill without any resistance, varying by model (e.g., 0-3000 min-1 for D10VF).
- Drill chuck capacity
- The maximum diameter of the drill bit shank that the chuck can securely hold (10 mm or 13 mm depending on model).
Model compatibility
- Angle attachment is an optional accessory specifically for models D13VF and D13VG.
