Hitachi C12FSA SAW Blade Mounting and Dismounting, Cutting depth adjustment procedure

English

Cutting depth adjustment procedure:

(1)Loosen the 8mm wing nut and turn the 8mm depth adjustment bolt by hand.

(2)Adjust to the desired cutting depth by setting the distance between the saw blade and the surface of the base (see b in Fig. 37).

(3)The 8mm wing nut must be properly tightened after the adjustment has been completed.

NOTE: When cutting a single groove at either end of the workpiece, remove the unneeded portion with a chisel.

12. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum sash

Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when tightened too much in a vise assembly. This will cause inefficient cutting and possible overload of the motor.

When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect the workpiece as shown in Fig. 39-a. Set the wood plate near the cutting section.

When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade with cutting oil (non-combustible) to achieve smooth cutting and a fine finish.

Furthermore, if the material flutters during cutting in the lateral direction as well, tighten it with the help of a vise (A) (Code No. 305174) sold separately. (Fig. 39-b)

(1)When the dust bag has become full of sawdust, dust will be blown out of the dust bag when the saw blade rotates.

Check the dust bag periodically and empty it before it becomes full.

(2)During bevel and compound cutting, attach the dust bag at a right angle to the base surface as shown in Fig. 40.

CAUTION: Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and the safety cover from becom- ing clogged.

Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal during bevel cutting.

SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING

WARNING: To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the trigger switch and discon- nect the power plug from the receptacle before removing or installing a saw blade.

If cutting work is done in a state where the bolt is not sufficiently tightened, the bolt can get loose, the blade can come off, and the safety cover can get damaged, resulting in injuries.
