To all Hitachi M12V Owners

There is only supposed to be one brass bushing. Two bushings would increase
the chances of binding because neither plunge posts are perfectly straight
nor parallel to each other (manufacturing tolerance).

Try some light machine oil on both rods, as suggested in the manual. It
should take care of the problem.

That's actually the worst thing you could do....It will bind for
sure.....clean thoroughly & smear a dab of white lithium grease on the
pillars, work it up & down until it moves with ease then wipe any excess
off. Very light machine oil will help but again wipe any excess off once it
is plunging freely.
