Selling Point Descriptions - Hitachi C 12LCH Technical Data And Service Manual

4-1. Selling Point Descriptions

(1) Digital display panel that indicates miter/bevel angles
Use the digital display panel when cutting a workpiece at an
optional angle. The class-first digital display panel indicates a
miter/bevel cutting angle with a numeric value. There is no
reading error caused by visual check between the indicator and
the scale. The digital display indicates a miter angle or a bevel
angle in increments of 0.5û. The digital display is equipped with
the convenient back light ON/OFF switch that makes the
display easily readable even in a dimly lit place.
(2) Laser guide system (Only Models C 12LCH and C 12FCH)
Use the laser marker for aligning with the ink line on the workpiece.
1 Cutting position can be properly adjusted by aligning the positioning ink line with the laser line. There is no
need to make a long ink line on the workpiece.
2 There is no need to lower the motor head to align with the ink line because the laser marker makes a laser
line on the workpiece. In addition, cutting position can be easily adjusted because the operator can hold the
workpiece with both hands to move.
3 Cutting position can be easily adjusted because the laser line can be aligned with an optionally angled ink
line.
4 Even the workpieces such as crown moldings and base boards that have decorative surfaces and are
difficult to be made an ink line can be cut just by aligning the laser line with the ink line on the fence side.
The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at the time of factory shipment. Depending upon the
user's cutting choice, the laser line can be aligned with the left side of the cutting width (saw blade) or the
ink line on the right side. Adjust the position of the laser line according to "8-1. Position Adjustment of Laser
Line" on page 10.
(3) Bevel angle fine adjustment
The Models C 12LCH, C 12LC and C 12FCH are easily and finely adjustable to an optional bevel angle.
Pulling the plates allows the bevel angle to be adjusted by about 48û to the left or about 3û to the right with
one-touch simple operation.
(4) Soft, vibration reducing grip
The handle grip is comfortable and slip-resistant thanks to the integrally molded rubber. In addition, it reduces
vibration transmitted to the operator's hand. The Models C 12LCH, C 12LC and C 12FCH are easier to
operate.
(5) 130-mm high fence (Turning sub fence)
The Models C 12LCH, C 12LC and C 12FCH realize stable cutting thanks to the widely supportable high
fence.
(6) Aggressive tool design
The tool color is gunmetallic silver to give a sturdier image. The circular saw portion is of a powerful, original
and aggressive design.
