WARNING: Avoid electrical shock hazard. Never use this tool with a damaged or frayed electrical cord or extension cord.
Inspect all electrical cords regularly. Never use in or near water or in any environment where electric shock is possible.
DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER OPERATION
To ensure safer operation of this power tool, HITACHI has adopted a double insulation design. “Double insulation” means that two physically separated insulation systems have been used to insulate the electrically conductive materials connected to the power supply from the outer frame handled by the operator. Therefore, either the symbol “ 
” or the words and “Double insulation” appear on the power tool or on the nameplate. Although this system has no external grounding, you must still follow the normal electrical safety precautions given in this Instruction Manual, including not using the power tool in wet environments.
To keep the double insulation system effective, follow these precautions:
*Only HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER should disassemble or assemble this power tool, and only genuine HITACHI replacement parts should be installed.
*Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
*Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on plastic components; otherwise the plastic may dissolve.

CAUTION:
WARNING:
* If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw blade may vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut.
Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully.
* In slide cutting, gently push the handle back (rearwards) in a single, smooth operation.
Stopping the handle movement during the cut will cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece.
* For slide cutting, follow the procedures indicated above in Fig. 22.
Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is very dangerous because the saw blade could kick upward from the workpiece. Therefore, always slide the handle away from the operator.
*Always return the carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation in order to reduce the risk of injury.
*Never put your hand on the side handle during the cutting operation because the saw blade comes close to the side handle when the motor head is lowered.

(1)Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the left.
(2)Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then secure the clamp lever.
(3)Follow the procedures indicated in paragraphs 5 and 6 above. For maximum dimensions for bevel cutting of up to 1-25/32" (45mm) in height and 12" (305mm) width.
WARNING: When the workpiece is secured on the left side of the blade, the short cut-off portion will come to rest on the right side of the saw blade. Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor head to the initial position.
Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the safety cover to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.

(1)Loosen the side handle and adjust the turntable until the indicator aligns with the desired setting on the miter scale (Fig. 26).
(2)Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the desired position.
(3)The miter scale (Fig. 24) indicates both the cutting angle on the angle scale and the gradient on the grade scale.
(4)The gradient, which is the ratio of the height to the base of the triangular section to be removed, may be used for setting the miter scale instead of the cutting angle, if desired (see Fig. 25).
(5)Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/10, set the indicator to position a as indicated in Fig. 24.
NOTE: * Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 35.3° and 45° settings.
Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.
*Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator out of alignment, or with the side handle not properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.

3. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 39 and Fig. 40)
The carbon brushes in the motor are expendable parts.
If the carbon brushes become excessively worn, motor trouble might occur.
Therefore, inspect the carbon brushes periodically and replace them when they have become worn to the wear limit line as shown in Fig. 39.
Also, keep the carbon brushes clean so that they will slide smoothly within the brush holders.
The carbon brushes can easily be removed after removal of the brush caps (see Fig. 40) with a slotted (minus) screwdriver.
