7-5. Ambient Illuminance and Visibility of Laser Line
The visibility of the laser line on the workpiece changes depending on the brightness of the working environment.
Instruct the customer to consider the brightness of the working environment when using the laser marker referring
to the following table.

(The working environment where the illuminance is 200 luxes or less is dark and difficult to operate the Models
C 12LSH and C 12RSH.)
The laser line is invisible under direct sunlight of fine weather. Prepare a shaded area or relocate to a shaded
area to operate the Models C 12LSH and C 12RSH.
7-6. Precautions Concerning Brake (Except for NZL)
The Models C 12LSH and C 12RSH are equipped with a "brake" that stops running when the switch is turned off.
Normally the operation is stopped in 5 - 6 seconds when the switch is turned off. If it takes 10 seconds or more to
stop, absolutely avoid further use of this machine. In this event, ensure that your customers bring this machine in
their local Hitachi power tools dealer or Hitachi power tools center for servicing.
(1) Be sure to use the carbon brushes dedicated to the Models C 12LSH and C 12RSH (110 V --- 120 V: Code No.
999038, 220 V--- 240 V: Code No. 999065). Use of other carbon brushes will adversely affect the brake
performance.
(2) If the brake should fail to work, check the carbon brushes. Replace the carbon brushes with new ones if their
length is shorter than 6 mm. If the brake still does not work, replace the armature ass'y.
