Maintenance And Inspection - Hitachi C12RSH2S Safety Instructions And Instruction Manual

Turn and loosen the side handle, turn the turntable as far
right as it will go, and secure the turntable by turning the
handle to the fi xed position. This will make the main body
even more compact.
When transporting the main body, carry it in your arms,
holding the grip located on the base with both hands.
When transporting with two people, each person should
use both their hands to hold the carry handle, side handle
and the base grip.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING:
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the fi rst sign of deterioration or damage.
A damaged saw blade can cause personal injury and a worn saw blade can cause ineff ective
operation and possible overload to the motor.
CAUTION:
2. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 53 and Fig. 54)
The carbon brushes in the motor are expendable parts.
If the carbon brushes become excessively worn, motor trouble might occur.
Therefore, inspect the carbon brushes periodically and replace them when they have
become worn to the wear limit line as shown in Fig. 53.
Also, keep the carbon brushes clean so that they will slide smoothly within the brush
holders.
The carbon brushes can easily be removed after removal of the brush caps (see Fig. 54)
with a slotted (minus) screwdriver.
To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confi rm that
the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been
disconnected from the receptacle before performing any
maintenance or inspection of this tool.
Never use a dull saw blade. When a saw blade is dull, its resistance
to the hand pressure applied by the tool handle tends to increase,
making it unsafe to operate the power tool.
