PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, inviting serious
accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
CAUTION:
Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
4. Prepare a wooden workbench. (Fig. 1)
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower
surface of the lumber, place the lumber on a
workbench when cutting. If a square block is utilized
as a workbench, select level ground to ensure it is
properly stabilized. An unstable workbench will result
in hazardous operation.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that the
portion of lumber remaining after cutting is securely
anchored or held in position.
ADJUSTING THE POWER TOOL PRIOR TO USE
1. Adjusting the cutting depth
As shown in Fig. 2, hold the handle with one hand
while loosening the knob with the other.
The cutting depth can be adjusted by moving the
base to the desired position. In such manner adjust
the cutting depth and then securely retighten the
knob.
2. Adjusting the riving knife
Loosen the hexagonal–head bolt used to clamp the
riving knife, adjust the riving knife to the position
shown in Fig. 3 and securely retighten the bolt. After
adjustment, ensure that that riving knife moves in
accordance with the adjusted cutting depth.
3. Adjusting the angle of inclination
As shown in Fig. 4 (A), Fig. 4 (B) by loosening the
knob on the incline gauge and the wing-bolt on the
base, the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum
angle of 45° in relation to the base. After having
completed the adjustment, reconfirm that the knob
and the wing-bolt are firmly tightened.
4. Regulating the guide (Fig. 5)
The cutting position can be regulated by moving the
guide to the left or right after loosening its wing bolt.
The guide can be mounted on either the left or the
right sides.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
1. Place the saw body (base) on the lumber, and align
the marked off line with the saw blade by use of the
front scale. When the saw blade is not inclined, the
right-hand side is the reference (Fig. 6 (A)); when the
saw blade is inclined (45°), the left-hand side (marked
“45” on the base) is the reference (Fig. 6 (B)).
2. Turn ON the switch before the saw blade contacts the
lumber. The switch is turned ON when the trigger is
squeezed, and turned OFF when the trigger is
released.
3. Moving the saw straight at a constant speed will
produce optimum cutting.
CAUTIONS:
䡬 Before starting to saw, confirm that the saw blade
has attained full-speed revolution.
9
䡬 Should the saw blade be stopped or made an
abnormal noise while operating, promptly turn OFF
the switch.
䡬 Always take care in preventing the power cord from
coming near to the revolving saw blade.
䡬 Using the Circular Saw with the saw blade facing
upwards or sideways is very hazardous. Such
uncommon applications should be avoided.
䡬 When cutting material, always wear eye protection.
䡬 When finished a job, disconnect the plug from the
receptacle.
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE SAW
BLADE
CAUTION:
To avoid serious accident, ensure that the switch is in
the OFF position, and the power source is
disconnected.
1. Dismounting the saw blade
(1) Set the cutting depth to maximum and place the
circular saw on a stable place. (Fig. 7)
(2) Keeping the lock lever depressed, carefully turn the
hexagonal-head bolt with the box wrench.
(3) When the saw shaft is fixed, turn the wrench
counterclockwise to remove bolt and washer (B).
(4) While gripping the safety cover knob, retract the
safety cover into the saw cover and take out the saw
blade.
2. Mounting the saw blade
(1) Install the saw blade in the reverse order to removal.
(2) Wipe off the swarf from the spindle, washer, etc.
(3) As shown in Fig. 8, the side of Washer (A) with a
projected center the same diameter as the inner
diameter of the saw blade and the concave side of
Washer (B) must be fitted to the saw blade sides.
* Washer (A) is supplied for 3 types of saw blades
with the inner diameters of 16 mm, 20 mm and 30
mm. (When buying the Circular Saw, one type of
washer (A) is supplied.)
In case the inner diameter of your saw blade does
not correspond to that of washer (A), please contact
the shop where you purchased the Circular Saw.
(4) The saw blade should be installed so that the arrow
in the saw blade is aligned with the arrow on the saw
cover.
(5) Using the fingers, tighten the hexagonal-head bolt
retaining the saw blade as much as possible. Then
depress the lock lever, lock the spindle, and
thoroughly tighten the bolt.
CAUTIONS:
䡬 If a wrench other than the one supplied is used, the
bolt cannot be tightened correctly. Always use the
supplied wrench.
䡬 Before connecting the power plug, check that the
lock lever is returned to its original position and the
saw blade rotates smoothly.
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
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the
power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding
does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or
water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 9)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush could result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brushes with new ones which have the same carbon
brush No. shown in the figure when they become
worn to or near the “wear limit”. In addition, always
keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide
freely within the brush holders.
䡬 Replacing carbon brushes
Disassemble the brush caps with a slotted-head
screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily
removed.
5. Inspecting safety cover functioning and its
maintenance
Carefully maintain the safety cover so that it remains
capable of smoothly functioning. Completely remove
sawdust deposited around the rotary portion of the
safety cover, and then apply spindle oil to its sliding
section to attain better functioning.
6. Adjusting the base and saw blade to maintain
perpendicularity:
The angle between the base and the saw blade has
been adjusted to 90°, however should this
perpendicularity be lost for some reason, adjust in
the following manner:
(1) Turn the base face up (Fig. 10) and loosen the knob
and wing-bolt (Fig. 4 (A), Fig. 4 (B)).
(2) Apply a square to the base and the saw blade and
turning the set screw, shift the position of the base to
produce the desired right angle.
Note
Due to HITACHI’s continuing program of research
and development, the specifications herein are subject
to change without prior notice.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Since use of a dull saw blade will cause motor
malfunctioning and degraded efficiently, replace with
a new one without delay if abrasion is noted.
