Fig. 4

Attach the power tool to a level, horizontal work bench in accordance with Fig. 4.

Select 5/16" (8mm) diameter bolts suitable in length for the thickness of the work bench. Bolt length should be at least 1-3/8" (35mm) plus the thickness of the work bench.

For example, use 2-11/32" (60mm) or larger bolts for a 1" (25mm) thick work bench. The holder attached to the rear of the base helps stabilize the power tool.

Holder (B) adjustment:

Loosen the 6mm bolt with the supplied 10mm box wrench. Adjust the holder (B) until its bottom surface contacts the work bench surface.

After adjustment, firmly tighten the 6mm bolt.

CAUTION: Attach the power tool to a work bench with bolts (6mm), and if the turntable has been swiveled 45° degrees or more, be careful not to let the hand that is holding the side handle get caught between the side handle and heads of bolts (6mm). Injuries could result.

Renowned for its precision and ease of use, this tool is engineered to deliver accurate cuts while offering a range of features that enhance its functionality.

One of the standout features of the C 10FCE is its 15-amp motor, which delivers a robust performance capable of cutting through a variety of materials, including hardwoods, softwoods, and engineered woods. The motor provides a no-load speed of 5,000 RPM, allowing for swift and efficient cutting tasks. The saw is equipped with a unique 0 to 52-degree miter angle range, providing versatility for making precise crosscuts at various angles. The dual-bevel functionality allows users to make beveled cuts in both directions, amplifying the tool’s adaptability for a wide range of projects.

The C 10FCE is also equipped with a laser guide system, which aids in ensuring accuracy by projecting a line on the workpiece where the cut will occur. This feature is particularly useful for achieving clean and precise cuts, reducing the likelihood of errors. Additionally, the saw boasts a large, robust table that provides ample support for larger workpieces, enhancing stability during use.

Durability is an important characteristic of the Hitachi C 10FCE. The saw features a rigid base that minimizes vibration and maximizes stability, resulting in smoother operation. The model is constructed with high-quality materials, ensuring longevity and consistent performance over time.

Safety is another key aspect integrated into the C 10FCE design.
