Before Cutting - Hitachi C 12LDH Technical Data And Service Manual

8-2. Before Cutting

(1) Oblique angle
Before the power tool is shipped from the factory, it is adjusted for 0˚, right angle, left 45˚ bevel cutting angle
and right 45˚ bevel cutting angle with 8 mm bolt (A), 8 mm bolt (B) and 8 mm bolt (C). When changing the
adjustment, change the height of 8 mm bolt (A), 8 mm bolt (B) or 8 mm bolt (C) by turning them.
When changing the bevel angle to the right 45˚, pull the set pin on the direction shown in Fig. 8-b and incline
the motor head to the right.
When adjusting the motor head to 0˚, always return the set pin to its initial position as shown in Fig. 15-a.
NOTE: Do not adjust the 8 mm bolt with bevel plates (Fig. 15-a) pulled.

(2) 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.
(3) Installing the holders (Optional accessory)
The holders help keep longer workpieces stable and in place during the cutting operation.
(1) As indicated in Fig. 16, use a steel square for aligning the upper edge of the holders with the base
surface. Loosen the 6 mm wing nut. Turn a height adjustment bolt 6 mm, and adjust the height of the
holder.
(2) After adjustment, firmly tighten the wing nut and fasten the holder with the 6 mm wing bolt (optional
accessory). If the length of the height adjustment bolt 6 mm is insufficient, spread a thin plate beneath.
Make sure the end of the height adjustment bolt 6 mm does not protrude from the holder.
