Hitachi C 10FCB Handling Instructions Manual page 6

WARNING
Always secure the workpiece with the right hand
side for compound cutting.
Never rotate the turntable to the right for
compound cutting, because the saw blade might
then contact the clamp or vise that secures the
workpiece, and cause personal injury or damage.
9. Installing the holders (Optional accessory) (Fig. 7)
The holders help keep longer workpieces stable and
in place during the cutting operation.
(1) Use a steel square for aligning the upper edge of the
holders with the base surface.
(2) After aligning, secure the holders with the 6 mm
wing bolts.
