MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING YOUR TABLE SAW
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the
switch key. Remove the plug from the power source outlet
before maintaining or lubricating your saw.
1. Clean out all sawdust that has accumulated inside the
saw cabinet and the motor.
2. Polish the saw table with an automotive wax to keep it
clean and to make it easier to slide the workpiece.
3. Clean cutting blades with pitch and gum remover.
4. A worn, cut, or damaged power cord should be
replaced immediately.
All electrical or mechanical repairs should be attempted
only by a trained repair technician. Contact Hitachi
Authorized Service Center for service. Use only identical
replacement parts. Any other parts may create a hazard.
5. Use liquid dish washing detergent and water to clean
all plastic parts.
NOTE: Certain cleaning chemicals can damage plastic
parts.
6. Avoid use of cleaning chemicals or solvents, ammonia
and household detergents containing ammonia.
BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM (Fig. HH)
After each five hours of operation, the blade raising
mechanism and tilting mechanism should be checked for
looseness, binding, or other abnormalities.
1. With the saw disconnected from the power source,
turn the saw upside down and alternately pull upward
and downward on the motor unit.
2. Observe any movement of the motor mounting
mechanism. Looseness or play in the blade raising
screw rod (1) should be limited to 1/8" or less.
3. If excessive looseness is observed in any other part of
the blade raising mechanism or tilting mechanism,
contact Hitachi Authorized Service Center immediately.

Place a small amount of dry lubricant on the bevel gear
(2). The screw rod (1) must be kept clean and free of
sawdust, gum, pitch, and other contaminants for smooth
operation.
If excessive looseness is observed in any parts of the
blade raising mechanism or tilting mechanism, contact
Hitachi Authorized Service Center.
LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the
factory and require no additional lubrication.
On all mechanical parts of your table saw where a pivot or
threaded rod are present, lubricate using graphite or
silicone. These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust as
would oil or grease.
