Adjustment And Operational Precautions; Confirmation Of Saw Blade Lower Limit Position; Confirmation For Use Of Sub Fence - Hitachi C 10FSB Technical Data And Service Manual

8. ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS

8-1. Confirmation of Saw Blade Lower Limit Position

The lower limit of the saw blade cutting depth is factory-adjusted so that when the saw blade is fully lowered, its
cutting edge is 9 to 11 mm (13/32" to 7/16") below the upper surface of the turn table in order to cut workpieces
completely without cutting the bottom of the turn table groove. Lower the saw blade and check that it stops at the
correct position (Fig. 24). When changing the position of the 8-mm depth adjustment bolt that is the lower limit
position stopper, it is necessary to shift the position of the 8-mm hexagon socket set screw (Fig. 25) in the screw
hole of the 8-mm depth adjustment bolt. The 8-mm depth adjustment bolt must be ready to be easily turned by
hand when performing the operations specified in the Instruction Manual "Lower limit position of saw blade when
cutting a large workpiece" and "Groove cutting procedures" after adjustment. Check that the 8-mm depth
adjustment bolt can be turned idly by hand. On completion of adjustment, ensure that the 8-mm wing nut is
properly tightened. (Fig. 25).
[CAUTION] Perform adjustment carefully to ensure that the saw blade does not cut into the turn table.
Also, on completion of adjustment, ensure without fail that the 8-mm wing nut is securely
tightened.

8-2. Confirmation for Use of Sub Fence

The Models C 10FSH and C 10 FSB are equipped with a
sub fence. Use the sub fence for miter cutting and right
bevel cutting. The sub fence supports the workpiece
widely for stable cutting. In the case of left bevel cutting,
raise the sub fence as illustrated in Fig. 26 and turn it
counterclockwise.
WARNING: In the case of left bevel cutting, turn the sub fence
counterclockwise. Unless it is turned counterclockwise,
the main body or saw blade may contact the sub fence,
resulting in an injury. Be sure to instruct the customers to turn the sub fence
counterclockwise in the case of left bevel cutting.
For Europe: Turn the sub fence to avoid contacting. Otherwise, the sub fence contacts
