COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Y)

This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a bevel angle.

WARNING

Always work to the right side of the blade during this type of cut. The miter gauge (3) must be in the right side groove because the bevel angle may cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on the left side groove.

When tilting the workpiece to 45° and push it toward the blade, the blade guard may hit the blade. To avoid inju ry, stop the work at that time.

1.Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle.

2.Place the miter gauge (3) in the right side groove (2) of the table.

3.Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired bevel angle and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

4.Hold workpiece fi rmly against the face of the miter gauge (3) throughout the cutting operation.

MITER CUT (FIG. Z)

This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90°.

1.Set the blade (1) to 0° bevel angle and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

2.Set the miter gauge (3) at the desired miter angle and lock in position by tightening the miter gauge locking handle.

3.Hold the workpiece (2) fi rmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. AA)

When performing some special cutting operations, add a wood facing (1) to the side of the rip fence (2).

1 . Use a smooth straight 3/4” thick wood board (1) that is as long as the rip fence.

2.Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screw (3) through the hole in the fence. A wood fence should be used when ripping material such as thin paneling to prevent the material from catching between the bottom of the fence and the table.

AUXILIARY FENCE (FIG. BB)

Making the base:

•Start with a piece of 3/8” plywood at least 5-1/2” wide or wider and 30” long or longer.

•Cut the piece to shape and size shown:

Making the side:

•Start with a piece of 3/4” plywood at least 2-3/8” wide or wider and 27” long or longer.

•Cut the piece to shape and size shown:

Putting it together:

•Put the pieces together, as shown:

WARNING

Make sure the screw heads do not stick out from the bottom of the base, they must be flush or recessed. The bottom must be flat and smooth enough to rest on the saw table without rocking.

C 10LA specifications

The Hitachi C 10LA is a powerful and versatile miter saw that stands out in the realm of woodworking and construction tools. Known for its precision, efficiency, and durability, this saw is designed to meet the needs of both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts.

One of the main features of the Hitachi C 10LA is its robust 15-amp motor, which delivers a remarkable no-load speed of up to 5,000 RPM. This high-speed capability allows users to make clean and accurate cuts through various materials, including hardwood, softwood, and even composite materials. The saw’s large cutting capacity provides a maximum miter cut of 52 degrees to the right and 45 degrees to the left, along with a maximum bevel cut of 45 degrees. This range of motion makes it ideal for creating precise angled cuts, commonly required for crown molding and other intricate woodworking projects.

The C 10LA also features a unique laser marker system that enhances cutting accuracy. This technology projects a laser line onto the workpiece, indicating exactly where the blade will cut, thereby eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of errors. Additionally, the saw is equipped with a large, sturdy base, providing stability during use and reducing vibration for smoother operation.

Safety is a significant consideration in the design of the Hitachi C 10LA. It includes an electric brake that halts the blade almost instantly after the trigger is released, ensuring that users can operate the saw with confidence. Its dust collector attachment helps maintain a clean work environment by capturing sawdust and debris, which not only improves visibility but also promotes a safer workspace.

The C 10LA’s lightweight design, weighing approximately 26.3 lbs, coupled with a comfortable handle, makes it easy to transport and maneuver, whether in a workshop or on a job site. The saw is also designed for easy blade changes and maintenance, further enhancing its usability and convenience.

In summary, the Hitachi C 10LA miter saw combines powerful performance with advanced features, making it a reliable choice for tradespeople and hobbyists alike. With its high-speed motor, accurate laser guide, impressive cutting capacity, and safety features, it is well-equipped to handle a wide variety of cutting tasks with precision and ease.
