Hitachi C7SB - Prior to Operation; Adjusting the Saw Prior to Use

APPLICATION
o Cutting various types of wood.
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 power 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.
4. Prepare a wooden work bench (Fig 5)
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the
lower surface of the lumber, place the lumber
on a work bench when cutting. If a square
block is utilized as a work bench, select level
ground to ensure it is properly stabilized. An
unstable work bench 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 posi¬
tion .
5- Confirm the power receptacle.
If the power receptcle only loosely accepts the
plug, the receptacle must be repaired.
Contact the nearest electric store for repair
service.
If such a faulty receptacle is used, it may
cause overheating, resulting in a serious haz¬
ard.
ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE
1. Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig.6. Fig. 7)
To adjust cutting depth, loosen the clamp
lever and. while holding the base with one
hand, move the main unit up and down to
obtain the prescribed cutting depth. Inch
scale on the saw cover and metric scale on
the link provide a general guide to cutting
depth. After adjusting to the prescribed cut¬
ting depth, tighten the clamp lever securely.
