Hitachi C 10FSH Instruction Manual page 19

In case of compound cutting of left bevel angle and left miter angle, a workpiece of
up to 2-3/16" (55mm) can be fixed with a vise assembly mounted on the left side. In
case the workpiece height exceeds 2-3/16" (55mm), mount the vise assembly on the
opposite side of the inclination of the motor head. For other compound cutting (left
bevel + right miter, right bevel + left miter and right bevel + right miter), mount the
vise assembly on the opposite side of the inclination of the motor head to avoid the
contact of the vise assembly with the motor head.

CAUTION:
* Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed.
On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or
decreased cutting efficiency.
WARNING:
* Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed
from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.
* Always remove the lock-off button from the handle and store it in a secure place
after completing the work.
* Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the
handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may
become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about
dangerously.
* Every time one cutting or deep-cutting operation is finished, turn the switch off,
and check that the saw blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it to
the full retract position.
* Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the top of the turntable, and
then proceed to the next step.
* Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the motor. Touch the motor
and if it's hot, stop your cutting operation once and rest for 10 minutes or so, and
then restart your cutting operation.
