(2) Attaching and adjusting the guide (Fig. 3)
Loosen the wing bolt and slide the guide into the
slot at the base. Move the guide left or right to
adjust the location of the cut to be made. After
adjusting the quide, fix it firmly in place by
tightening the wing bolt.
10. Check to see that the brake is functioning properly
This metal cutting saw is designed so that when
the switch is turned off, the brake automatically
functions. If for any reason the brake fails to
operate, please contact an Authorized Hitachi
Service Center for repair.
CAUTION
The metal cutting saw will recoil when the brake
operates.
This can cause the operator to drop the metal
cutting saw, resulting in accidents.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION
●
If the tipped saw blade stops suddenly, makes an
abnormal sound, etc., immediately turn off the
switch.
●
Do not use cutting oil on the blade.
Such substances as cutting oil, polishing oils and
waxes can catch fire from sparks when cutting.
●
When using the metal cutting saw, always wear
eye protection.
●
Be sure that the materials are secured firmly in
position. If the materials are not properly secured
in position, they may fly about causing damage
to the tipped saw blade.
●
When cutting is finished, immediately turn off the
power and unplug the metal cutting saw.
●
Be careful as not to cut the unit cord with the
rotating tipped saw blade.
●
Discard cutting dust before the dust cover
becomes completely full.
If the metal cutting saw is used when the cutting
dust is pressed against the dust cover, the
performance of the dust collector will drop and
the temperature of the dust cover (B) will rise. This
may cause dust cover (C) to warp or melt.
●
Wear ear plugs to protect ears from effects of the
sound.
●
If the cutting depth adjustment is too shallow, the
cut may tend to open lowering the performance
of the cutting dust collector.
●
When cutting the surface of a wall, the rate of
accumulation of cutting dust inside the dust cover
may change and may lower the performance of
the cutting dust collector.
●
Use a tipped saw blade that is suitable for the
material being cut.
●
When cutting, push the blade straight and forward
without letting the blade curve to the left and right.
●
Push the blade forward slowly, especially when
beginning to cut and when coming to the end of
the cut.
●
Do not turn on the metal cutting saw with the
blade pressed against the cutting material. Do not
turn off the metal cutting saw in the midst of
cutting a piece of material. In a case where it is
absolutely necessary to turn the metal cutting saw
off in the middle of cutting a work piece, pull the
chip saw back with the blade still turning and after
it is no longer in contact with the work piece
material, then turn the power switch off.
●
Do not to try to cut the same work piece two times
in the same location.
