Operation - Hitachi C 18DL Safety Instructions And Instruction Manual

English
As shown in Fig. 9 by loosening the wing-bolt on
the inclined gauge, the saw blade may be inclined
to a maximum angle of 50° in relation to the base.
Always insure that the wing-bolt is thoroughly
tightened after making the desired adjustment.

NOTE:
Values of the inclined gauge provided on the base
merely serve as a rough guideline. For cutting
operation at an inclined posture, use the circular
saw after adjusting the angle between the base
and the saw blade with a protractor, etc.
3. Regulating the guide (Fig. 10)
The cutting position can be regulated by moving
the guide to the left or right after loosening its
knob-bolt. The guide may be mounted on either
the right or left side of the tool.

OPERATION

WARNING:
Never touch the moving parts.
Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade
turned upward or to the side.
Do not fix and secure the switch lock. Besides,
keep your finger off the switch trigger when the
circular saw is being carried around. Otherwise,
the main body switch can be inadvertently turned
ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.

Keep the light ON during cutting operation only.
If it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch
can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in
unexpected accidents.
CAUTION:
Don't remove circular saw from workpiece during
a cut while the saw blade is moving.
Pull out the battery after completing operation.
NOTE:
Take care not to lock the motor. If the motor is
locked, immediately turn the power off. If the motor
is locked for a while, the motor or battery may be
burnt.
1. Operation of switch (Switch trigger and light
switch) (Fig. 11)
For safe operation of the machine, a "switch lock"
is provided on the side of a handle.
If the "switch lock" is pulled in a state where it is
pressed in the direction of the arrow mark, the
main switch can be turned ON.
(1) Switch lock is used as the "light switch". If the
"switch lock (light switch)" is pulled in a state, the
light is turned ON.
(2) After the switch is turned ON, even when you
release your hand from the switch lock, the body
continues running and the light continues being
turned ON as long as you keep on pulling the
switch trigger.
(3) If you release the switch trigger, you can turn OFF
the switch and the "switch lock" returns to the
original position automatically and the light turns
OFF too.

2. Working performance per single charge (Reference
data)
Cutting capability differs according to the condition
of lumber, type of saw blade, ambient temperature,
battery characteristics, etc.
