Cutting - Hitachi CJ 90VST Handling Instructions Manual

English
10. Sub base
Using the sub base (made from steel) will reduce abrasion of aluminium base especially in
cutting metals.
Using the sub base (made from resin) will reduce scratching of cut surface. Attach the sub
base to the bottom surface of base by attached 4 screws.

CUTTING

CAUTION
In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage or excessive wear on the Plunger,
please make sure to have surface of the base plate attached to the work piece
while sawing.
1. Rectilinear cutting
When cutting on a straight line, fi rst draw a marking gauge
line and advance the saw along that line. Using the guide
(sold separately) will make it possible to cut accurately on
a straight line.
(1) Loosen the base bolt hexagonal bar wrench attached on
base. (Fig. 7)
(2) Move the base fully forward (Fig. 8), and tighten the base
bolt again.
(3) Attach the guide by passing it through the attachment hole
on the base and tighten the M5 bolt. (Fig. 9)
(4) Set the orbital position to "0".
NOTE
To ensure accurate cutting when using the Guide
(Fig. 9), always set the orbital position to "0".
2. Sawing curved lines
When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the feeding
speed of the machine. If the machine is fed too fast, it
could cause the blade to break.
