7. Check if lever (A)s are tightened.
If the lever (A) to adjust cutting depth (Fig. 7) and lever (A) to adjust angle of inclination (Fig. 8) are loose, injury can
result. Make sure that they are tightened securely.
8. Check performance of lower guard.
WARNING:
Make absolutely sure that the safety cover is not fi xed. Also, check and see if it can move smoothly. If the
saw blade is kept exposed injury can result.
The lower guard (refer to Fig. 5) serves to protect your body from coming into contact with the saw blade. Make
absolutely certain that the cover smoothly performs to cover the saw blade. If the lower guard should not move
smoothly, never use it without repairing it.
In such a case, get in touch with the store where you bought the circular saw or the HITACHI Authorized Service
Center for necessary repair.
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.
WARNING:
Operating the tool without wearing proper eye protection may result in serious injury.
10. Check if saw blade is tightened
Refer to [mounting and dismounting the saw blade] in Page 15, and make sure that the fl ange bolt is tightened
securely.
11. Check for proper operation of the electric brake
For model C7BUR, this tool is equipped with an electric brake which will typically stop the blade within 7 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, replace the brushes and try the saw again.
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.
