Adjusting The Saw Prior To Use - Hitachi C 7D Safety And Instruction Manual

CAUTION: Always insert the battery all the way until it locks in place with a little click,
if not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool causing injury to you or
someone around you.
6. Check for proper operation of the brake.
This circular saw features an electric brake that functions when the switch is released.
Before using the circular saw, ensure that the electric brake functions properly. If it does
not, bring the tool to an Hitachi Authorized Service Center.
7. Prepare a wooden work bench (Fig. 12)
Since the saw blade will extend beyond
the lower surface of the lumber, place the
lumber on a work bench when cutting. If
a square block is utilized as a work bench,
select level ground to ensure it is properly
stabilized. An unstable work bench will
result in hazardous operation.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible accident, always ensure
that the portion of lumber remaining
after cutting is securely anchored or held
in position.

ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE

1. Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 13,
Fig. 14)
WARNING:
To adjust cutting depth, loosen the clmap
lever and, while holding the base with
one hand, move the main body up and
down to obtain the prescribed cutting
depth.
After adjusting to the prescribed cutting
depth, tighten the clamp lever securely.
If the clamp lever is loose,
injury can result. Tighten
it securely after adjust-
ment.
