Prior To Operation; Planning Procedures - Hitachi P 20SB Instruction Manual

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements
specified on the product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while
the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately and can
cause serious injury.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient
thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
WARNING:
4. Check the receptacle
If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact
a licensed electrician to make appropriate repairs.
If such a fautly receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.
5. Confirming condition of the environment:
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to
prescribed precautions.
6. Prepare a stable wooden workstand suitable for planing operation.
balanced workstand creates a hazard, ensure it is securely positioned on firm, level
ground.
7. Confirm that the cutter blades are securely tightened
The cutter blade is securely bolted at the factory, rendering the machine immediately
usable on site; however, use a box wrench to retighten the bolts prior to operation.
PLANING PROCEDURES
1. Adjusting the cutter depth:
Turn the knob in the direction indicated by the
arrow in Fig. 3(clockwise), until the triangular mark
is aligned with the desired cutting depth on the
scale.
An interval between graduations on the scale
corresponds to 1/256"(0.1mm) in cutting depth.
The cutting depth can be adjusted within a range of
0~1/32"(0~1mm).
Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
