Cutting Easily-Deformed Materials; How To Use The Dust Bag - Hitachi C 10FSH Handling Instructions Manual

12. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum sash
Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when tightened too much in a vise
assembly. This will cause inefficient cutting and possible overload of the motor.
When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect the workpiece as shown in
Fig. 48-a. Set the wood plate near the cutting section.
When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade with cutting oil (non-combustible)
to achieve smooth cutting and a fine finish.
In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the wood plate as shown in Fig. 48-b
to ensure stability in the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting section of the
workpiece and tighten it using both the vise assembly and the clamp available in the
market.

CAUTION:
Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and the lower guard
from becoming clogged.
Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal during bevel cutting.

(1) When the dust bag has become full of sawdust,
dust will be blown out of the dust bag when
the saw blade rotates.
Check the dust bag periodically and empty it
before it becomes full.
(2) During bevel and compound cutting, attach the
dust bag at a right angle to the base surface as
shown in Fig. 49.
