Hitachi C10FSB - 10 Inch Sliding Dual Bevel Compound Miter Saw Safety & Instruction Manual page 19

WARNING:
Always remove the lock-off button from the handle when the power tool is not in
use. This will ensure that the power tool cannot be turned on accidentally or by
someone (especially a child) who is not qualified to use the power tool. If the lock-off
button is left in the handle, serious personal injury can result. Since the lock-off button
fits rather tightly, it may be necessary to turn it to the left and right during mounting
and removing.
2. Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory)

CAUTION:
Always confirm that the motor head (see Fig. 1) does not contact the vise assembly
when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the
8mm knob bolt slightly and move the vise assembly to a position where it will not
contact the saw blade.
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 ivse 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 asembly 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.
The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left fence (Fence
(B)) or the right fence (Fence (A)), and can be raised or lowered
according to the height of the workpiece.
Knob
To raise or lower the vise assembly, first loosen the 6mm knob
bolt. As shown in Fig. 26, the vise shaft has three locking grooves

to lock the screw holder in the desired position.
To ensure that the tip of the 6mm wing bolt is properly aligned
with the desired locking groove on the vise shaft, simply align the

upper surface of the fence to either of three v-grooves on the vise
shaft surface or to the lower surface of the screw holder.
Therefore, the vise assembly can be attached in either of three
positions to ensure proper height adjustment.
After adjusting the height, firmly tighten the 6mm wing bolt; then
turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely attach the workpiece
in position.
