8. 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. 31-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.

In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the wood plate as shown in Fig. 31-b to ensure stability in the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting section of the workpiece and tighten it using both the vise assembly and the clamp available in the market.

9. How to use the dust bag (Standard accessory)

Dust Bag

Duct

Base

Right Angle

(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. 32.

Fig. 32

CAUTION: Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and the safety cover from becoming 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 disconnect 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 lower guard can get damaged, resulting in injuries.

Also, check that the bolts are properly tightened before plugging the power plug into the receptacle.

*If the bolts are attached or detached using tools other than the 10mm box wrench (standard accessory), excessive or improperly tightening occurs, resulting in injury.

1.Mounting the saw blade (Fig. 33-a, Fig. 33-b, Fig. 33-c and Fig. 33-d)

(1)Rotate the lower guard (plastic) to the top position.

(2)Use the driver to loosen the 4mm screw fastening the spindle cover and then remove the spindle cover.

(3)Press in spindle lock and loosen bolt with 10mm box wrench (standard accessory).

Since the bolt is left-hand threaded, loosen by turning it to the right as shown in Fig. 33-c.

NOTE: If the spindle lock cannot be easily pressed in to lock the spindle, turn the bolt with 10mm box wrench (standard accessory) while applying pressure on the spindle lock.

The saw blade spindle is locked when the spindle lock is pressed inward.

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.
