(1)The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left fence {Fence (B)} or the right fence {Fence (A)} by loosening the 6mm wing bolt (A).

(2)The screw holder can be raised or lowered according to the height of the workpiece by loosening the 6mm wing bolt (B). After the adjustment, firmly tighten the 6mm wing bolt (B) and fix the screw holder.

(3)Turn the upper knob and securely fix the workpiece in position (Fig. 20).

WARNING: Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the fence; otherwise the

workpiece might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.

CAUTION: Always confirm that the motor head (see Fig. 1) does not contact the vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the 6

mmwing bolt (B) and move the vise assembly to a position where it will not contact the saw blade.

(1)As shown in Fig. 21 the width of the saw blade is the width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the right (viewed from the operator’s position) when length is desired, or to the left when length is desired.

(Only Model C10FCH)

If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with the laser line.

(2)Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push the handle down carefully until the saw blade approaches the workpiece.

(3)Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.

(4)After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece to return it to the full retract position.

WARNING: * Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.

*When you cut the workpiece, avoid any cutoff thinner than the clearance between the cutting edge and the saw blade. Otherwise, the cut-off material can enter the clearance between the cutting edge and the saw blade and scatter around you, resulting in an injury.

CAUTION: * Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed.

On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency.

*If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw blade may vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut. Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully.

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.
