2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Performance checkup and maintenance of lower
guard
Keep the lower guard in good shape for smooth
performance at all times. Be sure to make prompt repair
in case of any malfunction.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean. The lower guard must
always be able to more freely and retract automatically.
Therefore, always keep the area around the lower guard
clean. Remove dust and chips by blowing out with
compressed air or with a brush.
5. Adjusting the base and saw blade to maintain
perpendicularity
The angle between the base and the saw blade has been
adjusted to 90°, however should this perpendicularity be
lost for some reason, adjust in the following manner:
(1) Turn the base face up (Fig. 15) and loosen the wing-bolt.
(2) Apply a square to the base and the saw blade and turning
the slotted set screw with a slotted-head screwdriver,
shift the position of the base to produce the desired right
angle.
6. Check for dust
Dust may be removed with a clean rag or a cloth
dampened with soapy water.
Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for they
may damage the plastics.
7. Storage
Storing in a place below 40°C and out of the reach of
children.
NOTE
Make sure that the battery is fully charged when stored
for a long period (3 months or more). The battery with
smaller capacity may not be able to be charged when
used, if stored for a long period.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage of batteries with a low charge
may result in performance deterioration, signifi cantly
reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries
incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
8. Service and repairs
All quality power tools will eventually require servicing or
replacement of parts because of wear from normal use.
To assure that only genuine replacement parts must be
used, all service and repairs must be performed by a
HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER, ONLY.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
Important notice on the batteries for the Hitachi
cordless power tools
Please always use one of our designated genuine
batteries. We cannot guarantee the safety and
performance of our cordless power tool when used with
batteries other than these designated by us, or when
the battery is disassembled and modifi ed (such as
disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal
parts).
GUARANTEE
We guarantee Hitachi Power Tools in accordance with
statutory/country specifi c regulation. This guarantee does
not cover defects or damage due to misuse, abuse, or
normal wear and tear. In case of complaint, please send
the Power Tool, undismantled, with the GUARANTEE
CERTIFICATE found at the end of this Handling instruction,
to a Hitachi Authorized Service Center.
Information concerning airborne noise and vibration
The measured values were determined according to
EN60745 and declared in accordance with ISO 4871.
Measured A-weighted sound power level: 103 dB (A)
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 92 dB (A)
Uncertainty K: 3 dB (A).
Wear hearing protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN60745.
Cutting chipboard:
Vibration emission value
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s
The declared vibration total value has been measured in
accordance with a standard test method and may be used
for comparing one tool with another.
It may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING
○ The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can diff er from the declared total value depending in
the ways in which the tool is used.
○ Identify safety measures to protect the operator that
are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual
conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
NOTE
Due to HITACHI's continuing program of research and
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
