MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the saw blade
Since use of as dull saw blade will degrade effi ciency
and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or
replace the saw blade as soon as abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 11)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brushes with new ones having the same carbon brush
No. ⓐ shown in the fi gure when it becomes worn to or
near the "wear limit" ⓑ. In addition, always keep carbon
brushes clean and ensue that they slide freely within the
brush holders.
5. Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 11)
Disassemble the brush caps with a slotted-head
screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily
removed.
6. Replacing supply cord
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this
has to be done by the manufacturer of this agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
7. Maintenance of the lower guard
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean. The lower guard must
always be able to move freely and retract automatically.
Therefore, always keep the area around the lower guard
clean. Remove dust and chips by blowing out with
compressed air or with a brush.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the safety
regulations and standards prescribed in each country must
be observed.

This requirement is provided according to BRITISH
STANDARD 2769: 1984.
Therefore, the letter code and colour code may not be
applicable to other markets except The United Kingdom.
Information concerning airborne noise and vibration
The measured values were determined according to
EN60745 and declared in accordance with ISO 4871.
Measured A-weighted sound power level: 100 dB (A)
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 89 dB (A)
Uncertainty K: 3 dB (A).
Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN60745.
Cutting chipboard:
Vibration emission value
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s
The declared vibration total value has been measured in
accordance with a standard test method and may be used
for comparing one tool with another.
It may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING
○ The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can diff er from the declared total value depending in
the ways in which the tool is used.
○ Identify safety measures to protect the operator that
are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual
conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
NOTE
Due to HITACHI's continuing program of research and
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
