DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER OPERATION

To ensure safer operation of this power tool, HITACHI has adopted a double insulation design.

“Double insulation” means that two physically separated insulation systems have been used to

insulate the electrically conductive materials connected to the power supply from the outer frame

handled by the operator. Therefore, either the symbol “

” or the words and “Double insulation”

appear on the power tool or on the nameplate.

Although this system has no external grounding, you must still follow the normal electrical

safety precautions given in this Instruction Manual, including not using the power tool in wet

environments.

To keep the double insulation system eﬀ ective, follow these precautions:

* Only HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER should disassemble or assemble this power

tool, and only genuine HITACHI replacement parts should be installed.

* Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water and dry

thoroughly.

* Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on plastic components; otherwise the plastic may

dissolve.

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.

WARNING: Please be aware of the reaction of the Motor Head (Fig.1) when

the brake is activated. Braking causes the Motor Head to jerk

downward and the user should be prepared for this reaction,

especially when the trigger switch is released before the blade is

completely down. Failure to be familiar with, and prepared for, the

operational characteristics of the tool may cause serious injury.

AFTER CONNECTING THE POWER PLUG TO AN APPROPRIATE AC

POWER SOURCE, CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE TOOL AS FOLLOWS:

11. Trial Run

After conﬁ rming that no one is standing behind, the power tool start and conﬁ rm that no

operating abnormalities exist before attempting a cutting operation.

12. Inspect the rotating stability of the saw blade.

For precise cutting, rotate the saw blade and check for deﬂ ection to conﬁ rm that the blade

is not noticeably unstable; otherwise vibrations might occur and cause an accident.

Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When shipping the tool from the factory, the

table inserts are so ﬁ xed that the saw blade does not contact them. The burr of the bottom

surface of the workpiece is remarkably reduced, if the table insert is ﬁ xed so that the gap

between the side surface of the table insert and the saw blade will be minimum. Before

using the tool, eliminate this gap in accordance with the following procedure.

(1) Right angle cutting

Loosen the three 4 mm machine screws, then secure the left side table insert and

temporarily tighten the 4 mm machine screws of both ends. Then ﬁ x a workpiece

(about 7-7/8" (200 mm) wide) with the vise assembly and cut it oﬀ . After aligning the

cutting surface with the edge of the table insert, securely tighten the 4 mm machine

screws of both ends. Remove the workpiece and securely tighten the 4 mm center

machine screw. Adjust the right hand table insert in the same way.

(2) Left and right bevel angle cutting

Adjust the table insert in the manner shown in Fig. 10-b and Fig. 10-c following the

same procedure for right angle cutting.

CAUTION: After adjusting the table insert for right angle cutting, the table

insert will be cut to some extent if it is used for bevel angle cutting.

When bevel cutting operation is required, adjust the table insert

for bevel angle cutting.

2. Use of sub fence (A)

WARNING: The sub fence (A) must be extended when making any right angle

bevel cut. Failure to extend the sub fence (A) will not allow enough

space for the blade to pass through which could result in serious

injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also

contact the fence.

This power tool is equipped with a sub fence (A).

In the case of direct angle cutting and left bevel angle cutting,

use the sub fence (A). Then, you can realize stable cutting of

the material with a wide back face.

When right angle cutting, loosen the lock knob, then slide the

sub fence (A) outward, as shown in Fig. 11.

When you slide sub fence (A) outward, if enough space

cannot be secured or the sub fence (A) comes into contact

with other parts of the tool including the motor, fully remove

sub fence (A) from fence (A). Also, make sure to remove the

lock knob from fence (A).

NOTE: When transporting the saw, always secure the sub fence (A) in the

collapsed position and lock it.

3. Use of sub fence (B)

WARNING: The sub fence (B) must be extended when making any left angle

bevel cut. Failure to extend the sub fence (B) will not allow enough

space for the blade to pass through which could result in serious

injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also

contact the fence.

This power tool is equipped with a sub fence (B). In the case of

direct angle cutting and right bevel angle cutting, use the sub

fence (B). Then, you can realize stable cutting of the material

with a wide back face. When left angle cutting, loosen the lock

knob, then slide the sub fence (B) outward, as shown in Fig. 12.

When you slide sub fence (B) outward, if enough space cannot

be secured or the sub fence (B) comes into contact with other

parts of the tool including the lower guard, fully remove sub

fence (B) from fence (B).

NOTE: When transporting the saw, always secure the sub fence (B) in the

collapsed position and lock it.

4. Securing the workpiece

WARNING: Always clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the fence;

otherwise the workpiece might be thrust from the table and cause

bodily harm.

5. Slide carriage system

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, return slide carriage to the full rear

position after each crosscut operation.

For chop cutting operations on small workpieces, slide the cutting

head assembly completely toward the rear of the unit and tighten

the slide securing knob.

To cut wide boards up to 305 mm, the slide securing knob must

be loosened to allow the cutting head slide freely.

6. Quick-cam locking lever operation

If miter angles required are NOT one of the

nine positive stops, the miter table can be

locked at any angle between these positive

stops by using the postive stop lock button

and miter lock handle.

Unlock the miter table by lifting up the miter

lock handle, grasp the miter lock handle and

pressing down on the postive stop lock button

to move the table to the desired angle, then

release the postive stop lock button. Press

down on the miter lock handle to lock the table

in position.
