2.Acceptable commercial blades (Fig. 14)

This machine is designed to accept most blades available on the open market. As illustrated in

Fig. 14, blade dimension restrictions are as follows:

Thickness : L2 ..... Less than 1.6mm

Width : L3 .....	6.3mm
L4 .....	8mm
L5 .....	7mm

NOTE

When cutting thick materials, use HITACHI genuine blades which have an inclination as shown in Fig. 4-Aor B.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION1.Inspecting the blade

Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will result in reduced cutting efficiency and may cause overloading of the motor. Replace the blade with a new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.

2.Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.

3.Maintenance of the motor
