*2: ø8 x 75mm wood screws into American pine (with 6.5mm pilot holes)
*3: ø8 x 100mm wood screws into American pine (with 6.5mm pilot holes)
- Compact Design with a Shorter Overall Length
DS18DBSL / DS14DBSL: 175mm *
DS18DBEL / DS14DBEL: 202mmm

| DS14DBSL | 45mm | 13mm |
- Double-Molded, Large Clutch Dial
is clearly readable even when it's worn out.
It's also easy to grip for better handling.
- Feedback Speed Control
reduces torque (rpm) fluctuation in a low speed range and ensures stable operation.
This makes follow-up tightening and drill positioning easier.
(Continuous work within a low speed range may cause the temperature of the unit to rise, activating a temperature protection circuit and automatically stopping operation.)
Hitachi Original Brushless Motor Technology
- ► No wearing parts (carbon brushes, commutator, field coil)
- ► Hitachi original compact controller
- Long Lifetime, Maintenance-Free
The brushless motor offers a significantly extended product life cycle by eliminating trouble including armature burnout, layer short or commutator wear even in severe work environments. Besides, no carbon brush replacement is required.
