1. PRODUCT NAME
Hitachi 130 mm (5") Reciprocating Saw, Model CR 13VA
2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE
There is increasing demand for a high-speed and powerful saber saw in overseas markets. The new Model
CR 13VA, which features a powerful motor and a swing cutting action, has been developed to meet that market
demand. The swing cutting action is a new technology, in which the saw blade is swung like a pendulum,
regardless of whether the saw blade is mounted upward or downward. The Model CR 13VA is at the top of its
class in flash-cutting speed for two-by-four construction (on the floor).
The Model CR 13VA employs various convenient functions, including a detachable mechanism that enables onehand mounting and removal of saw blades without the use of a wrench or other tools.

4-1. Selling Point Descriptions
(1) Fast cutting speed
The Model CR 13VA can cut various construction materials fast and efficiently thanks to the high-power motor
whose maximum output is over 1000 W (Model CR 10V: 680 V).
(2) Saw blade can be mounted and removed without the use of tools (patent pending)
Generally, conventional saber saws required a blade holder and a bolt to secure the saw blade.
Such inconvenience was a cause of inefficient operation because the operator kept using a dull blade without
replacing it with a new one, even though a saber saw blade is apt to wear out due to its applications.
The Model CR 13VA eliminates such inconvenience by adopting the Hitachi-original detachable mechanism
that enables one-hand mounting and removal of saw blades without the use of a wrench or other tools.
< Features of the Hitachi-original detachable mechanism >
The saw blade can be mounted and removed just by turning the holder sleeve.
1
The sleeve holder can be automatically secured in a released state by turning it all the way. In the
2
released state, the built-in spring force pulls the holder pin back to the correct position automatically. Thus,
saw blades can be smoothly replaced with one hand.
Competitors' products require two-hand operation.
Refer to the Handling Instructions and the leaflets for detailed information
about saw blade replacement.
< Construction of detachable mechanism >

--- 2 ---
(3) Saw blade can be mounted in either direction, upward or downward
The Model CR 13VA is convenient for cutting materials on the floor or near window frames, and also for
plunge cutting on plywood panels because the saw blade can be installed upside down.
< Cutting on the floor in two-by-four construction >
(4) New swing cutting action (patent pending)
Two cutting systems, smooth "straight cutting" and efficient "swing cutting", can be selected with the change
lever. The saw blade is made to forcibly bite into the material when the swing roller at the rear of the plunger
(reciprocating shaft) moves up and down along the slanted surface of the swing rail in the gear cover. Soft
materials such as wood, etc. can be efficiently cut because the reaction during swing cutting is lower than that of
< Plunge cutting on plywood panels >
orbital cutting. The saw blade can be mounted in either facing upward or downward.

(5) Dust- and water-resistant triple-sealing construction <patent pending>
The Model CR 13VA has a triple-sealing construction to protect from the large amount of dust generated when
cutting construction materials, autoclaved lightweight concrete, etc. and also from waste water when cutting
pipes.

(6) Sturdy and heat-resistant thanks to the double-molded front cover (rubber and plastic) <patent pending>
Front covers made of rubber have been generally used for saber saws. However, such front covers are not so
durable and there is increasing demand for a sturdier saber saw. To cope with this demand, the Model
CR 13VA is equipped with a durable double-molded front cover that is composed of a glass-fiber reinforced
polycarbonate body and a nonskid rubber grip. In addition, heat resistance is improved by making a clearance
between the front cover and the gear case to flow cooling air for the motor.

5-2. Optional Accessories
The cutting speed of the Model CR 13VA is substantially higher than that of the current model, however, the
conventional HCS blades may be broken in heavy applications such as house demolition, etc. To cope with this
problem, the BI-METAL blades shown in Table 2 are provided. The BI-METAL blades are tough and rarely break
since they are made by electron-beam welding together of two different types of steels. A very hard steel called
"DM05" (JIS: SKH51 or equivalent molybdenum containing high speed tool steel) or "Matrix II" (JIS: SKH59 or
equivalent cobalt containing high speed tool steel) is used at the cutting edges, and a flexible steel for spring
material is used for the blade main body . So these BI-METAL blades are remarkably stronger than the HCS
blades.

7-4. Cutting Operation for Long Blade Life
The service life of a saw blade may vary depending on the operating conditions such as the type of cutting action,
pressing force, etc. Observing the following instructions can lengthen the service life of a saw blade, for reference.
1 Move the saber saw handle up and down repeatedly during the cutting operation
The service life of a saw blade can be lenghtened by moving the saber saw handle up and down repeatedly
once or twice per second during the cutting operation as shown below.
Do not apply undue force to the
workpiece. Appropriate pressing force is
about 4 kgf (8.8 lbs.).
The cutting edge contacts the pipe
in a seesaw motion.
< Explanation >
Heat generated in the cutting operation can significantly affect the service life of the saw blade. Continued cutting
Move the saber saw handle up
and down repeatedly once or
twice per second
operation with the saw blade heated to red hot can decrease the hardness of the saw blade because the cutting
edge is annealed. The saw blade is then worn out in a short time and nothing can be cut. The merits of moving
the saber saw up and down are described below.
The seesaw motion of the saw blade can minimize heating.
1
The effective cutting length of the blade is longer than that of an ordinary cutting operation. Thus, the service
2
life of the saw blade can be lengthened and the cutting speed becomes faster. Cutting wood in the same
manner can also make the cutting speed faster.
Do not apply undue force to the workpiece2
Application of undue force to the workpiece during the cutting operatation can heat up the saw blade and the
number of strokes can decrease, causing reduction of speed. Appropriate pressing force is about 4 kgf (8.8 lbs.).
