Adjustment Of Table Insert Position - Hitachi C 12LSH Technical Data And Service Manual

8-5. Adjustment of Table Insert Position

Table inserts are installed on the turn table. When the machine is shipped from the factory, the table inserts are
positioned so that there is no chance that the saw blade will come in contact with either side of the saw blade slot
even if the machine is used for 45˚ bevel cutting. Before operating the machine, adjust the position of the table
inserts so that the sides of the saw blade align with the edges of the table inserts according to the following
procedure.
Firtst, loosen the three 5 mm machine screws that fasten the table inserts, and temporarily tighten the two
outside screws (front and back). Next, clamp a workpiece (about 200 mm (7-7/8") wide) with the vise assembly
and cut the workpiece. Align the cutting surfaces with the table inserts as shown in Figs. 35-a, 35-b and 35-c and
securely tighten the front and back 5 mm machine screws. Finally, remove the workpiece and securely tighten the
middle 5 mm machine screw.
If adjustment is done as described, workpieces can be cut precisely by aligning the appropriate side edge of the
table inserts with the ink line on the workpiece. Adjust the table inserts as necessary for the type of cutting
desired (right angle or left/right bevel cutting).
