*Laser radiation- Do not stare into beam.

*Laser radiation on work table. Do not stare into beam.

If your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be hurt.

*Do not dismantle it.

*Do not give strong impact to the laser marker (main body of tool); otherwise, the position of a laser line can go out of order, resulting in the damage of the laser marker as well as a shortened service life.

*Keep the laser marker lit only during a cutting operation. Prolonged lighting of the laser marker can result in a shortened service life.

*Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

NOTE: * Perform cutting by overlapping the ink line with the laser line.

*When the ink line and the laser line are overlapped, the strength and weakness of light will change, resulting in a stable cutting operation because you can easily discern the conformity of lines. This ensures the minimum cutting errors.

*In outdoor or near-the-window operations, it may become difficult to observe the laser line due to the sunlight. Under such circumstances, move to a place that is not directly under the sunlight and engage in the operation.

*Do not tug on the cord behind the motor head or hook your finger, wood and the like around it; otherwise, the cord may come off and the laser marker may not be lit up.

Laser Line

Ink lining can be easily made on this tool to the laser marker. A switch lights up the laser marker. (Fig. 14)

Depending upon your 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.

The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at the time of factory shipment. Adjust the positions of the saw blade and the laser line taking the following steps to suit the use of your choice.

Marking (pre-marked)

(1)Light up the laser marker and make a groove of about 3/16" (5mm) deep on the workpiece that is about 1-1/2" (38mm) in height and 3-1/2"(89mm) in width. Hold the grooved workpiece by vise as it is and do not move it.

(2)Then insert a 4mm hex. bar wrench in the 12 diameter hole on the side of the gear case, turn the hex. socket set screw to move the laser line. (If you turn the Hex. socket screw clockwise, the laser line will shift to the right and if you turn it counterclockwise, the laser line will shift to the left.) When you work with the ink line aligned with the left side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the left end of the groove. (Fig. 16) When you align it with the right side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the right side of the groove.

C 10FCE specifications

The Hitachi C 10FCE is a powerful and versatile 10-inch sliding compound miter saw designed to meet the needs of both professional contractors and serious DIY enthusiasts. 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. The saw includes a blade guard that covers the upper portion of the blade while in operation, protecting users from accidental contact. The electric brake system stops the blade quickly after the trigger is released, further enhancing user safety.

In conclusion, the Hitachi C 10FCE sliding compound miter saw is a feature-rich tool combining power, precision, and safety. With its reliable motor, versatile cutting angles, laser guide system, and durable construction, it stands as an ideal choice for anyone looking to tackle complex cutting tasks with confidence and accuracy. Whether for intricate trim work or larger construction projects, the C 10FCE is built to handle a diverse range of applications efficiently.
