9.
Check to see whether the protective cover moves.
CAUTION
Do not fasten the protective cover permanently
in one position. Make sure that it can move
smoothly. Leaving the tipped saw blade
exposed can result in accidents.
The protective cover is used to prevent the body
of the user from coming into contact with tipped
saw blade. Be sure that the protective cover can
be moved into place and is covering the blade.
If for any reason, the protective cover will not
move into position to cover the blade, discontinue
the use of the metal cutter. Please contact an
Authorized Hitachi Service Center for repair.

Making adjustments before using the metal cutter
(1)
Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 2)
CAUTION
If the cutting depth lever is not firmly tightened,
accidents may result. After adjusting the
cutting depth, make sure to tighten the cutting
depth lever firmly.
Loosen the lever and move the base, then you
can adjust the depth of cutting.
(2)
Attaching and adjusting the guide (Fig. 3)
Loosen the wing bolt and slide the guide into the
slot at the base. Move the guide left or right to
adjust the location of the cut to be made. After
adjusting the quide, fix it firmly in place by
tightening the wing bolt.
11.
Check to see that the brake is functioning properly
This metal cutter is designed so that when the
switch is turned off, the brake automatically
functions. If for any reason the brake fails to
operate, please contact an Authorized Hitachi
Service Center for repair.
CAUTION
The metal cutter will recoil when the brake
operates.
This can cause the operator to drop the metal
cutter, resulting in accidents.
12.
Check the power plug
If the power plug is loose or pulls out easily from
the socket, call your local electric repair service
and have the connection repaired.
