Before Cutting - Hitachi Koki C 10FCH2 Instrucciones De Seguridad Y Manual De Instrucciones

8. Confi rm the tool's power cord is not damaged.
Repair or replace the power cord if an inspection indicates that it is
damaged.
9. Eye protection
Always wear eye protection with side shields that meets the requirements
of ANSI Standard Z87.1. Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate
protection because they do not contain impact resistant safety glass.
WARNING:
Operating the tool without wearing proper eye protection may
result in serious injury.
10. Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake which will typically stop the
blade within 5 seconds after the trigger switch is released.
Occasionally, there will be a delay in the brake engaging which will result
in a longer blade stopping time. On rare occasions, the brake may not
engage at all and the saw blade will coast to a stop.
If the brake fails to engage frequently, depress and release the trigger
switch to turn the tool on and off 4 or 5 times. If the brake still does not
engage, have the tool serviced at a Hitachi authorized service center.
Always confi rm that the saw blade has completely stopped before raising
it from the workpiece.
The brake is not a substitute for a properly functioning lower guard. Check
the function of the lower guard before each use. Serious personal injury
may occur if the lower guard does not move smoothly and cover the blade
properly.
WARNING:
Please be aware of the reaction of the Motor Head (Fig. 1) when
the brake is activated. Braking causes the Motor Head to jerk
downward and the user should be prepared for this reaction,
especially when the trigger switch is released before the blade is
completely down. Failure to be familiar with, and prepared for, the
operational characteristics of the tool may cause serious injury.
AFTER CONNECTING THE POWER PLUG TO AN
APPROPRIATE AC POWER SOURCE, CHECK THE
OPERATION OF THE TOOL AS FOLLOWS:
11. Trial Run
After confi rming that no one is standing behind, the power tool start and
confi rm that no operating abnormalities exist before attempting a cutting
operation.
12. Inspect the rotating stability of the saw blade.
For precise cutting, rotate the saw blade and check for defl ection to
confi rm that the blade is not noticeably unstable; otherwise vibrations
might occur and cause an accident.

BEFORE CUTTING

1. Oblique angle
Before the power tool is shipped from the factory, it is adjusted for 0°, left
