Hitachi CR 18DMR instruction manual HOW to USE the Cordless Reciprocating SAW, Adjusting the base

English

Under the circumstances, pull a rubber cap provided on the lever in the direction of an arrow mark as shown in Fig. 17 and remove the rubber cap from the lever. Then, clean up the inside of the blade holder with air and the like and carry out sufficient lubrication.

The rubber cap can be fitted on if it is pressed firmly onto the lever. At this time, make certain that there exists no clearance between the blade holder and the rubber cap, and furthermore ensure that the saw-blade-installed area can function smoothly.

CAUTION:

Do not use any saw blade with a worn-out blade hole. Otherwise, the saw blade can come off, resulting in personal injury. (Fig. 18)

3.Adjusting the base

Loosen the set screw with an Allen wrench and move the base forward, as shown in Fig. 19, Fig. 20. Tighten the set screw slightly, ensure the base does not move back and forth, and firmly tighten the set screw. Ensure that the base does not contact the blade.

4.Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.
