2. Make sure the trigger switch is turned OFF.
WARNING:
If the power cord is connected to the power source with the trigger
switch turned ON the power tool will start suddenly and can cause
a serious accident.
3. Check the saw blade for visible defects.
Confi rm that the saw blade is free of cracks or other visible damage.
4. Confi rm that the saw blade is attached securely to the power tool.
Using the supplied 5mm hex. bar wrench, tighten the bolt on the saw
blade spindle to secure the saw blade.
For details, see Fig. 27-a, Fig. 27-b, Fig. 27-c and Fig. 27-d in the section
on "SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING".
5. Check the lower guard for proper operation.
Lower guard is designed to protect the operator from coming into contact
with the saw blade during operation of the tool.
Always check that the lower guard moves smoothly and covers the saw
blade properly.
WARNING:
NEVER OPERATE THE POWER TOOL if the safety cover does not
function smoothly.
6. Confi rm the position of the spindle lock before using the tool.
After installing the saw blade, confi rm that the spindle lock has been
returned to the retract position before using the power tool (see Fig. 27-b).
7. Check the Power Receptacle.
To prevent overheating, accidental stopping or intermittent operation,
confi rm that the power cord plug fi ts properly in the electrical receptacle
and does not fall out after it is inserted. Repair or replace the receptacle
if it is faulty.
8. Confi rm the tool's power cord is not damaged.
Repair or replace the power cord if an inspection indicates that it is
damaged.
9. Eye protection
Always wear eye protection with side shields that meets the requirements
of ANSI Standard Z87.1. Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate
protection because they do not contain impact resistant safety glass.
WARNING:
Operating the tool without wearing proper eye protection may
result in serious injury.
10. Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake which will typically stop the
blade within 5 seconds after the trigger switch is released.
Occasionally, there will be a delay in the brake engaging which will result
in a longer blade stopping time. On rare occasions, the brake may not
engage at all and the saw blade will coast to a stop.
If the brake fails to engage frequently, depress and release the trigger
switch to turn the tool on and off 4 or 5 times. If the brake still does not
engage, have the tool serviced at a Hitachi authorized service center.
Always confi rm that the saw blade has completely stopped before raising
it from the workpiece.
The brake is not a substitute for a properly functioning lower guard. Check
the function of the lower guard before each use. Serious personal injury
may occur if the lower guard does not move smoothly and cover the blade
properly.
