What to do if my Hitachi Saw motor will not start?
If the motor of your Hitachi Saw doesn't start, make sure it is plugged into the power outlet and that the switch and key are in the ON position. If these steps don't solve the problem, the motor cord or plug may be faulty and needs to be repaired by the Service Center, or the fuse on the circuit may have broken open, so try resetting it.
Why does my Hitachi Saw band saw slow down when cutting?
Your Hitachi Saw band saw might slow down due to several reasons. The blade could be too loose, so adjust the blade tension. You might be cutting too small a radius; in that case, stop feeding and back up the material slightly. A dull blade can also cause this issue, so replace the blade. Finally, you might be overloading the motor by cutting too fast; slow down the feed rate.
What causes crooked cuts with my Hitachi CB6YI - 10 Inch Tilting Head Bandsaw?
Crooked cuts with your Hitachi Saw can be caused by several factors. Check if the work is square and adjust the tilt of the head at 90° using a miter gauge. Reduce the rate of feed if it's too high. Ensure the blade guides are properly adjusted, positioning both guide blocks within .002" from the blade. Also, adjust the upper blade guide to just clear the workpiece by 1/8". A dull blade can also lead to crooked cuts, so consider replacing it. Finally, tighten the blade thrust bearing within 1/64" behind the blade back if the blade guide assembly or blade thrust bearing is loose.
What to do if my Hitachi CB6YI - 10 Inch Tilting Head Bandsaw Saw motor stalls (resulting in blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers)?
If your Hitachi Saw motor stalls, resulting in blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers, first, try turning off other electrical machines on the same line. It may be caused by too many electrical machines on the line. If that doesn't work, try a time delay fuse or switch to a circuit with a higher-rated fuse or circuit breaker. Also, ensure that the wheels rotate freely by unplugging the saw and turning them by hand to remove any obstructions. Finally, make sure you are using the correct size extension cord.
Why does my Hitachi CB6YI - 10 Inch Tilting Head Bandsaw Saw motor overheat?
The motor of your Hitachi Saw may overheat due to an overload. Try reducing the load and feeding the work slower into the blade. Another possible reason is poor ventilation. Unplug the saw and clean around the motor to improve air circulation.
Why are the blades braking on my Hitachi CB6YI - 10 Inch Tilting Head Bandsaw?
Blades may break on your Hitachi Saw due to too much tension. Adjust the blade tension accordingly. A kink in the blade, caused by cutting too small a radius or turning the material too fast, can also cause breakage, so use the correct cutting technique. Finally, ensure you are cutting the correct material.
What causes rough cuts with my Hitachi Saw?
Rough cuts with your Hitachi Saw can be caused by feeding the material too quickly, so reduce the feed rate. Alternatively, the blade might be too coarse; replace it with a finer blade.
What to do if my Hitachi Saw motor stalls or slows?
If your Hitachi Saw motor stalls or slows, it could be due to a motor overload. Try reducing the load by feeding the work slower into the blade. Low line voltage can also cause this issue, so check the power line for proper voltage.
Why is the dust collection not working on my Hitachi CB6YI - 10 Inch Tilting Head Bandsaw Saw?
If the dust collection isn't working on your Hitachi Saw, the dust collection bag might be full; empty it. Alternatively, the impeller could be loose or broken, in which case you should replace it.
Why does my Hitachi CB6YI - 10 Inch Tilting Head Bandsaw Saw motor fail to develop full power?
If your Hitachi Saw motor fails to develop full power, it could be due to low line voltage. Check the power line to ensure it's providing the proper voltage.
