7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION
In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model C 10FM Miter Saw by all of our
customers, it is very important that at the time of sale the salesperson carefully ensures that the buyer seriously
recognizes the importance of the contents of the Instruction Manual, and fully understands the meaning of the
precautions listed on the various Caution Plates attached to each machine.
7-1. Instruction Manual
Although every effort is made in each step of design, manufacture and inspection to provide protection against
safety hazards, the dangers inherent in the use of any power saw cannot be completely eliminated. Accordingly,
general precautions and suggestions for the use of electric power tools, and specific precautions and suggestions
for the use of the compound saw are listed in the Instruction Manual to enhance the safe, efficient use of the tool
by the customer. Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar with the contents of the Instruction Manual to be able
to offer appropriate guidance to the customer during sales promotion.
(1) Precautions on the Name Plate
Each Model C 10FM is furnished with a Name Plate that lists the following precautions.
Instruct the customer to thoroughly read the Instruction Manual prior to attempting to operate the machine.
(2) Warning Label (A)
The Warning Label (A) specified by the UL is affixed
on the upper righthand portion of the motor housing.
Please instruct users to strictly observe the contents
in 1 to 9 in the Warning Label (A) shown at left.
--- 5 ---
8. ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
8-1. Confirmation of Saw Blade Lower Limit Positioning
The lower limit of the saw blade cutting depth is factory-adjusted
M6 x 20 mm
hex. hd. bolt
so that when the saw blade is fully lowered, its cutting edge is
28 mm to 30 mm (1-3/32" to 1-5/32") below the upper surface of
the table insert. Lower the saw blade and confirm that it stops at
the correct position.
If it is necessary to adjust the saw blade lower limit, loosen the
6 mm hex. nut on the M6 x 20 mm hex. hd. bolt, and turn the
6 mm hex. nut
M6 x 20 mm hex. hd. bolt if necessary. (See Fig. 3.)
Fig. 3
[CAUTION] Perform the adjustment carefully to ensure that the saw blade does not cut into the table. Also,
on completion of adjustment, ensure without fail that the 6 mm hex. nut is securely tightened.
8-2. How to Use the Vise Ass'y
(1) The vise ass'y can be mounted on either the left side
base or the right side base, and can be raised or
Knob

2
Then tighten the 5 mm clamp bolt, as shown in Fig. 4.
3
Turn the knob to thoroughly clamp the workpiece.
[NOTE] The support has two locking grooves into which
the tip of the 5 mm clamp bolt is designed to fit,
to lock the vise ass'y in the desired position.
(2) The vise ass'y can be mounted on either the left side
fence or the right side fence, and can be raised or
lowered according to the height of the workpiece.
Insert the support of the vise ass'y into the hole

--- 6 ---
8-3. Cutting Operation
(1) Cutting efficiency will be reduced if a dull saw blade is used, if an excessively long extension cord is used, or if
the wire gauge of the extension cord is too small. (For details on extension cords, please refer to the
Instruction Manual.) This is particularly important when cutting materials with dimensions which are at or near
the maximum capacity for the machine.
(2) The customer should be advised to thoroughly inspect the workpiece to ensure that there are no metallic
objects (nails in particular), sand, or other foreign matter in or on the workpiece. Saw blade contact with such
foreign matter will not only shorten the service life of the saw blade, but could cause serious accident. Should
the saw blade tips be broken off, the tips may fly toward the operator.
(3) Press cutting
Like Mode C 10FC2, C 10FM can be used for press cutting of workpieces up to 66 mm x 144 mm (2-19/32" x
5-11/16") in a single operation by simply pushing the saw blade section (head) downward. The customer
should be cautioned that excessive pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed. On the
contrary, excessive pressure may result in reduced cutting efficiency (irregular or rough cutting of the
workpiece), and could also cause overload and subsequent burnout of the motor.
On completion of the cutting operation, turn the switch OFF and wait for the saw blade to come to a complete
stop before raising the saw blade section (head) to its original position. Raising the saw blade section (head)
while the saw blade is rotating may cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece.
Techniques to avoid unwanted cutting marks
Uneven and unwanted cutting marks can be avoided throughout the cutting operation by gently and smoothly
pressing down on the handle, so that the entire cutting operation is accomplished in a single uninterrupted
motion.
(4) Miter cutting
Miter cutting is accomplished by turning the table. (For details, please refer to the Instruction Manual.)
--- 7 ---
(5) Cut surface quality during miter cutting
The quality of the cut surface depends on the
type of cutting operation (miter), the type and
sharpness of the saw blade, whether the
workpiece is cut to the right or left. In miter
cutting in particular, cutting is performed across
the wood grain, so the condition of the cut
surface depends on whether the wood is cut
with or against the grain. This is the same as
when using electric portable planers.
Customers should be advised of these
phenomena so that they understand that in
cases when the cut surface may not be as
smooth as expected or hoped for, it is not
caused by the performance of the saw blade or
the Model C 10FM.
In the cutting examples illustrated in Fig. 6, the
cut surfaces on the sides marked are better
than those on the sides marked .

10-2. Reassembly
Reassembly can be accomplished by following the disassembly procedures in reverse. However, special
attention should be given to following items.
(1) Prior to reassembly, measure the insulation resistance of the armature, field, switch and other electrical
components and confirm that the insulation resistance of each part is more than 7 M Ω.
(2) When assembling the Support [39] and the Upper Arm [86], apply 2 grams (2 pcs.) of Hitachi Motor Grease to
the oil groove of the Upper Arm [86].
(3) When replacing the Torsion Spring [48], apply approximately 5 grams of Hitachi Motor Grease to the inner
circumference of the new Torsion Spring [48] prior to reaasembly.
(4) When replacing the Slide Plate [75], assemble it into the unit as illustrated in Fig. 12. During reassembly,
apply 6 grams of Hitachi Motor Grease to the Slide Plate [75] against the sliding surface of the Base [59].
Ensure that the Slide Plate [75] fits into
the groove portion of the Base [59].
Fig. 12
(5) If the Center Shaft [74] at the bottom of the Base [59] is tightened excessively, the movement of the Table [64]
will become sluggish and heavy. If the bolt is loose, it will cause vibration and looseness of the Table [64]
which will reduce cutting accuracy. Adjust the Nut Chuck M8 [60] so that the Table [64] moves smoothly with
minimum play and vibration.

10-6. Reassembly Requiring Adjustment
(1) Adjustment of squareness between the saw blade (dummy disc) and the fence
After disassembly/reassembly or replacement of the Base [59], the
Table [64], the Fence [55] or the Support [39], it is necessary to
check the squareness between the saw blade (or dummy disc) and
Fence
Square
Saw blade or
dummy disc
Fig. 15
the Fence [55], and perform adjustment as necessary if they are not
at an exact right angle with relation to each other. Adjustment
procedure is as follows. First, position the saw blade (or dummy
disc) so that it is in the exact center of the groove on the Table [64]
which houses the Table Insert [66]. Next, as illustrated in Fig. 15,
place a square so that it is flush against the side surface of the saw blade (or dummy disc), and move the
Fence [55] as necessary so that it is in an exact right angle with relation to the saw blade (or dummy disc).
Finally, tighten the two Hex. Socket Hd. Bolts M8 x 45 [54] to fix the Fence [55] in position.
*Dummy disc: A dummy disc is a toothless disc with the same external diameter as a saw blade, and is used
to perform accurate inspection and adjustments.
(2) Confirmation of saw blade height
The lower limit of the saw blade cutting depth is factory-adjusted so that when the saw blade is fully lowered,
its cutting edge is 28 to 30 mm (1-3/32" to 1-5/32") below the upper surface of the Table Insert [66]. Lower the
saw blade and confirm that it stops at the correct position.
(3) Adjustment of saw blade lower limit position
When adjusting the lower limit of the saw blade, be sure to use a saw blade with an external diameter of 255
mm. Failure to properly adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade may result in the following problems.
1
Inability to obtain the maximum cutting capacities of the machine
2
There is a danger that the saw blade may come in contact with and cut into the Table [64].
The lower limit of the saw blade cutting depth is adjusted at the factory so that when the saw blade is fully
lowered, its cutting edge is 28 mm to 30 mm (1-3/32" to 1-5/32") below the upper surface of the Table Insert
[66]. If this position is lower than the specified values, confirm without fail that it does not come in contact with
the Table [64]. If it is necessary to adjust the saw blade lower limit, loosen the Hex. Nut M6 [38] on the Hex.
Bolt M6 x 20 [37] and turn the Hex. Bolt M6 x 20 [37] if necessary. By turning the Hex. Bolt M6 x 20 [37]
clockwise, the saw blade lower limit is lowered. By turning the Hex. Bolt M6 x 20 [37] counterclockwise, the
saw blade lower limit is raised. On completion of adjustment, ensure that the Hex. Nut M6 [38] is properly
tightened.
[Caution]
Perform the adjustment carefully to ensure that the saw blade does not cut into the Table [64].
--- 17 ---
(4) Reassembly of the Table [64]
When reassembling the Table [64] and the Base [59], tighten the Nut Chuck M8 [60] so that the Table [64]
turns smoothly without excessive play or vibration.
During reassembly, liberally apply grease (Hitachi Motor Grease No. 29, Code No. 930035 is recommended.)
