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. 26
) 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, significantly
reducing battery usage time or rendering the
batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, significantly reduced battery usage time
may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using
the batteries two to five 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.
9. Service parts list
CAUTION
Repair, modification and inspection of Hitachi Power
Tools must be carried out by a Hitachi Authorized
Service Center.
This Parts List will be helpful if presented with the
tool to the Hitachi Authorized Service Center when
requesting repair or other maintenance.
In the operation and maintenance of power tools,
the safety regulations and standards prescribed in
each country must be observed.
MODIFICATIONS
Hitachi Power Tools are constantly being improved
and modified to incorporate the latest technological
advancements.
Accordingly, some parts may be changed without
prior notice.
GUARANTEE
We guarantee Hitachi Power Tools in accordance with
statutory/country specific 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.
NOTE
Due to HITACHI’s continuing program of research and
development, the specifications herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
IMPORTANT
Correct connection of the plug
The wires of the main lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Blue:
– Neutral
Brown:
– Live
As the colours of the wires in the main lead of this tool
may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.
Neither core must be connected to the earth terminal.
NOTE
This requirement is provided according to BRITISH
STANDARD 2769: 1984.
Therefore, the letter code and colour code may not be
applicable to other markets except The United Kingdom.
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: 106 dB (A).
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 95 dB (A).
Uncertainty KpA: 3 dB (A).
Wear ear protection.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined
according to EN60745.
Vibration emission value
a
h
= 1.4 m/s
2
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s
2
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
䡬
The vibration emission during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared total value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
䡬
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).
