Hitachi C 10FSB Saw User Manual

CAUTION:* When cutting a workpiece of 88mm (3-15/32") height, adjust the lower
limit position of the motor head so that the gap between the lower
edge of the motor head and the workpiece will be 2 to 3mm (3/32" to
1/8") at the lower limit position.
* If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw
blade may vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted
cutting marks on the workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut.
Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully.
* In slide cutting, gently push the handle back (rearwards) in a single,
smooth operation.
Stopping the handle movement during the cut will cause unwanted
cutting marks on the workpiece.
WARNING: * For slide cutting, follow the procedures indicated above in Fig. 29.
Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is very dangerous because
the saw blade could kick upward from the workpiece. Therefore,
always slide the handle away from the operator.
* Always return the carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut
operation in order to reduce the risk of injury.
* Never put your hand on the side handle during the cutting operation
because the saw blade comes close to the side handle when the motor
head is lowered.
7. Bevel cutting procedures
(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw
blade to the left or to the right.
When tilting the motor head to the right pull
the fixing pin towards the rear.
The clamp lever adopts a latchet system. When
contacting the work bench and the main body,
pull the clamp lever in the direction of the
arrow mark as illustrated in Fig. 30, and change
the direction of the clamp lever.
(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting
while watching the bevel angle scale and
indicator, then secure the clamp lever.
(3) Follow the procedures indicated in paragraphs 4,5 and 6 above. For maximum
dimensions for bevel cutting, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” table on page 6.
WARNING: When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side of the blade,
the short cut-off portion will come to rest on the right or left side of the
saw blade. Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop
completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off
piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments
to scatter about dangerously.
