Adjusting The Saw Prior To Use; Operation - Hitachi C18DLP4 - 18V Li-Ion 6-1/2" Circular Saw Safety Instructions And Instruction Manual

CAUTION:
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that the
portion of lumber remaining after cutting is
securely anchored or held in position.

ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE

1. Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 8)
WARNING:
If the wing-nut is loose, injury can result. Tighten
it securely after adjustment.
To adjust cutting depth, loosen the Wing-nut and,
while holding the base with one hand, move the
main body up and down to obtain the prescribed
cutting depth.
After adjusting to the prescribed cutting depth,
tighten the Wing-nut securely.
2. Adjusting the angle of inclination
WARNING:
If the wing-nut is loose, injury can result. Tighten
it securely after adjustment.
As shown in Fig. 9 by loosening the wing-bolt on
the inclined gauge, the saw blade may be inclined
to a maximum angle of 50° in relation to the base.
Always insure that the wing-bolt is thoroughly
tightened after making the desired adjustment.

NOTE:
Values of the inclined gauge provided on the base
merely serve as a rough guideline. For cutting
operation at an inclined posture, use the circular
saw after adjusting the angle between the base
and the saw blade with a protractor, etc.
3. Regulating the guide (Fig. 10)
The cutting position can be regulated by moving
the guide to the left or right after loosening its
knob-bolt. The guide may be mounted on either
the right or left side of the tool.

OPERATION

WARNING:
Never touch the moving parts.
Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade
turned upward or to the side.
Do not fix and secure the switch lock. Besides,
keep your finger off the switch trigger when the
circular saw is being carried around. Otherwise,
the main body switch can be inadvertently turned
ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.
Keep the light ON during cutting operation only.
If it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch
can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in
unexpected accidents.
CAUTION:
Don't remove circular saw from workpiece during
a cut while the saw blade is moving.
Pull out the battery after completing operation.
NOTE:
Take care not to lock the motor. If the motor is
locked, immediately turn the power off. If the motor
is locked for a while, the motor or battery may be
burnt.
1. Operation of switch (Switch trigger and light
switch)
For safe operation of the machine, a "switch lock"
is provided on the side of a handle.
