SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1.Work Area

(1)Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

(2)Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust of fumes.

(3)Keep bystanders children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2.Electrical Safety

(1)Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified

electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double Insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

(2)Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

(3)Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

(4)Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from a receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

(5)When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W- A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

3.Personal Safety

(1)Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

(2)Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

4

English

(3)Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

(4)Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

(5)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

(6)Use safety equipment. Always wear protective glasses. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or ear plugs must be used for appropriate conditions.

4.Tool Use and Care

(1)Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

(2)Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

(3)Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

(4)Disconnect the plug form the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

(5)Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

(6)Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

(7)Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced by a HITACHI authorized service center before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

(8)Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used with another tool.

5.Service

(1)Tool service must be performed only by a HITACHI authorized service center. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

(2)When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

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 “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.

CUTTING

CAUTIONS:

In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage or excessive wear on the Plunger, please make sure to have surface of the base plate attached to the work piece while sawing.

1.Rectilinear cutting

When cutting on a straight line, first draw a marking gauge line and advance the saw along

that line. Using the guide (sold separately) will make it possible to cut accurately on a straight line.

(1)Loosen the base bolt allen wrench attached on base. (Fig. 11)

(2)Move the base fully forward (Fig. 12), and tighten the base bolt again.

(3)Attach the guide by passing it through the attachment hole on the base and tighten the M5 bolt. (Fig. 13)

(4)Set the orbital position to “0”.

NOTE: To ensure accurate cutting when using the Guide (Fig.11), always set the orbital position to “0”.

2.Sawing curved lines

When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the feeding speed of the machine. If the machine is fed too fast, it could cause the blade to break.

3.Cutting a circle or a circular arc

The guide also will be helpful for circular cutting.

After attaching the guide by same way noted as above, drive the nail or screw into the material through the hole on the guide, then use it for a axis when cutting. (Fig. 14)

NOTE: Circular cutting must be done with the blade approximately vertical to the bottom surface of the base.

4. Cutting metallic materials

(1) Adjust the speed Dial between scales “3” and “4”.

(2) Set the orbital position to “0” or “I”.

(3)Always use an appropriate cutting fluid (spindle oil, soapy water, etc.). When a liquid cutting fluid is not avaiable, apply grease to the back surface of the material to be cut.

5.Pocket cutting

(1) In lumber

Aligning the blade direction with the grain of the wood, cut step by step until a window hole is cut in the center of the lumber. (Fig. 15)

(2) In other materials

When cutting a window hole in materials other than lumber, initially bore a hole with a drill or similar tool from which to start cutting.

6.Angular cutting

The base can be swiveled to both sides by up

to 45° for angular cutting. (Fig. 16)

(1)Loosen the base bolt by allen wrench attached on base and move the base fully forward. (Fig. 11, 12)

(2)Align the scale (from 0 degrees to 45 degrees by 15-degree increments) of the semi-circular part of the base with the [] mark on the gear cover. (Fig. 17)

(3)Tighten the M5 bolt again. (Fig. 11)

(4)Set the orbital position to “0”.

NOTE: Angular cutting can not be done when adopting chip cover or dust collector.

English

When cutting stainless steel plates, adjust the unit as described below:

1. Adjust the speed

	Blade	Thickness of material	Dial Scale
	No. 97	1/16" – 5/32" (1.5 mm – 2.5 mm)	Middle groove position
			between scales “2” and “3”

NOTE: Dial scale reading is for reference only. The higher the speed is, the quicker the material is cut. But the service life of the blade will be reduced in this case. When the speed is too low, cutting will take longer, although the service life will be prolonged. Make adjustments as desired.

2.Set the orbital position to “0”

NOTE: When cutting use cutting fluid (oil base cutting fluid) to prolong the blade’s service life.

SELECTION OF BLADES

Accessory blades

To ensure maximum operating efficiency and results, it is very important to select the appropriate blade best suited to the type and thickness of the material to be cut. Three types of blades are provided as standard accessories. The blade number is engraved in the vicinity of the mounting portion of each blade. Select appropriate blades by referring to Table 1 (page 18).
