Practical Applications - Hitachi C 10FCB Mode D'emploi

English
Bolt length should be at least 25 mm plus the thickness
of the work bench.
For example, use 8mm × 50 mm bolts for a 25 mm
thick work bench.
ADJUSTING THE POWER TOOL PRIOR TO USE
CAUTION
Make all necessary adjustments before inserting the
plug in the power source.
1. Check to see that the safety cover operates smoothly.
CAUTION
This compound saw is equipped with a saw head lock
as safety device.
To lower the saw head to cut, the lock must be released
by pressing the lever with your thumb.
(1) When you push down the handle while pushing the
lever, check that the safety cover revolves smoothly
(Fig. 6).
(2) Next, check that the safety cover returns to the original
position when the handle is raised.
2. Checking the saw blade lower limit position (Fig. 7)
Check that the saw blade can be lowered 41 mm to 42
mm below the table insert.
If necessary, adjust as follows:
(1) Loosen the 8 mm lock nut on the 8 mm depth
adjustment bolt.
(2) Turn the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt as necessary to
set the lower limit position. The saw blade goes up
when the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt is turned
counterclockwise and down when it is turned
clockwise.
(3) Once the adjustment is complete, fully tighten the 8
mm lock nut.
CAUTION
Before tightening the 8 mm lock nut, confirm that the
saw blade is adjusted so that it will not contact into
the table.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

CAUTION
It is dangerous to remove or install the wrokpiece
while the saw blade is turning.
When sawing, clean off the shavings from the
turntable.
If the shavings accumulate too much, the saw blad
from the cutting material will be exposed. Never
subject your hand or anything else to go near the
exposed blade.
1. Tightly secure the material by vise assembly to be
cut so that it does not move during cutting.
2. Switch operation.
Pulling the trigger turns the switch on. Releasing the
trigger turns the switch off.
3. Cutting a groove on the table insert.
A groove has to be cut in the table insert, before
starting operation. Secure a place of wood about 40
mm wide to the turntable with the vise assembly, to
prevent the breakage of the table insert. After the
switch has been turned on and the saw blade has
reached maximum speed, slowly lower the handle to
cut a groove on the table insert.

CAUTION
Do not cut the groove too quickly; otherwise the table
insert might become damaged.
4. Using the vise assembly (Standard accessory) (Fig.
3)
(1) The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left
fence {Fence (B)} or the right fence {Fence (A)} by
loosening the 6 mm wing bolt (A).
(2) The screw holder can be raised or lowered according
to the height of the workpiece by loosening the 6 mm
wing bolt (B). After the adjustment, firmly tighten the
6 mm wing bolt (B) and fix the screw holder.
(3) Turn the upper knob and securely fix the workpiece
in position.
WARNING
Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the workpiece
to the fence; otherwise the workpiece might be thrust
from the table and cause bodily harm.
CAUTION
Always confirm that the motor head does not contact
the vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If
there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the 6
mm wing bolt (B) and move the vise assemlby to a
position where it will not contact the saw blade.
5. Cutting operation
(1) After turning on the switch and checking that the saw
blade is rotating at maximum speed, slowly push
down the handle while holding down the lever and
bring the saw blade in the vicinity of the material to
be cut.
(2) When the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the
handle down gradually to produce cutting.
(3) When the cutting (or desired cutting-in) has been
completed, raise the handle up to the retract position.
(4) Turn the tool OFF after each cutting operation is
completed, and allow the saw blade to come to a
complete stop before preparing for the next operation.
CAUTION
Increased pressure on the handle does not necessarily
mean faster cutting of the workpiece. On the contrary,
too much force may result in overload of the motor
and/or decreased cutting efficiency.
Ensure the switch is turned OFF and the plug is
removed from the power outlet when work has been
completed.
6. Miter cutting procedure side handle (Fig. 8)
(1) Loosen the side handle.
(2) Adjust the turntable until the indicator aligns with the
desired setting on the miter angle.
(3) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in
the desired position.
CAUTION
Never remove the side handle; use of the tool without
it would be hazardous.
To prevent an accident or personal injury always firmly
tighten the miter handle.
NOTE
Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the
0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45° and 60° right
and 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45° left settings.
Check that the miter angle scale and the tip of the
indicator are properly aligned.
Operation of the power tool with the miter angle scale
and indicator out of alignment, or with the miter
handle not properly tightened, will result in poor
cutting precision.
