7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model C 10RA2 Table Saw by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale, the salesperson carefully ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Instruction Manual, and fully understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the various caution plates attached to each machine.
(1) Be sure to wear the protective glasses. (2) Advise the user to use the saw blade guard and spreader when using the table saw. The saw blade guard prevents the operator from touching the saw blade and the dislodging of workpieces. This should be employed to ensure safety.
7-5. Package The table saw Model C 10RA2 is divided into the main body and the saw blade guard sections before packing and shipping. Therefore, buyers of this machine are required to perform some light assembly. Instruct customers to carefully read the assembly procedure in the Instruction Manual.
8. PRECAUTIONS ON OPERATION 8-1. Unpacking The parts illustrated in Fig. 6 are packaged together with the tool. When unpacking, carefully confirm that all parts are accounted for. Refer to the instructions packed in the carton box for the components of the table saw stand. Fig.
8-2. Assembly WARNING: To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confirm that the switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been disconnected from the receptacle before assembly of this tool. 8-2-1. Assembly of the Handle Bar The handle allows faster turning of the wheel. When properly assembled, it will rotate freely but with only a small amount of play, (1) Tighten the screw of the handle until it hits against the...

4 Raise the grip to the upside and release the fixation of the rip fence. Move and return the parallel bracket adjacent to the miter gauge groove. Lower the grip to the bottom and fix the rip fence. And verify that the parallel bracket is parallel to the miter gauge groove.
OFF, the rotation usually stops in 3 to 5 seconds. Should it take more than 15 seconds before stopping, the machine should not be used. Instruct the customer to contact a Hitachi electric tool dealer for inspection or repair if this occurs.
8-7. Extension Cords The Instruction Manual contains a table of cord lengths and lead wire diameters. Select an appropriate extension cord. If the lead wire diameter is too small compared with the cord length, it may cause considerable voltage drop, resulting in lowered efficiency. Use only three-wire extension cords which have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the saw's plug.
8-8. Cutting Work Precautions on cutting work are provided in the Instruction Manual. Read them carefully and advise the user on correct operation. In this section, important items and the items not described in the Instruction Manual are explained to help you advise the user. (1) For cutting work, be sure to use the saw blade guard and check that everything functions properly.
9. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION WARNING: To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confirm that the switch is turned OFF and that the power plug has been disconnected from the receptacle before performing any maintenance or inspection of this tool. 9-1.
9-4. Inspecting the Saw Blade Guard for Proper Operation Before each use of the tool, test the saw blade guard to assure that it is in good condition and that it moves smoothly. Never use the tool unless the saw blade guard operates properly and unless it is in good mechanical condition.
