Prior To Operation; Adjusting The Saw Prior To Use - Hitachi C 18DSL Handling Instructions Manual

○ If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or
exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp may light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery
cool before charging.
○ When the pilot lamp fl ickers in red (at 0.2-second intervals),
check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger's battery
installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that
the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized
Service Center.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Setting up and checking the work environment
Check if the work environment is suitable by
following the precautions.
2. Prepare a wooden workbench (Fig. 15)
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the
lower surface of the lumber, place the lumber
on a workbench when cutting. If a square block
is utilized as a workbench, select level ground
to ensure it is properly stabilized. An unstable
workbench will result in hazardous operation.
CAUTION
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that the portion of
lumber remaining after cutting is securely anchored or held in
position.

ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE

CAUTION
Pull out battery before doing any adjusting.
1. Adjusting the cutting depth
As shown in Fig. 16, hold the handle with one
hand while loosening the wing nut with the other.
The cutting depth can be adjusted by moving
the base to the desired position. In such manner
adjust the cutting depth and then securely
retighten the wing nut.
