Adjustment And Operational Precautions; 8-1.Confirmation Of Saw Blade Lower Limit Positioning; How To Use The Vise Ass'y - Hitachi C 10FM Technical Data And Service Manual

8. ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS

8-1. Confirmation of Saw Blade Lower Limit Positioning
The lower limit of the saw blade cutting depth is factory-adjusted
so that when the saw blade is fully lowered, its cutting edge is
28 mm to 30 mm (1-3/32" to 1-5/32") below the upper surface of
the table insert. Lower the saw blade and confirm that it stops at
the correct position.
If it is necessary to adjust the saw blade lower limit, loosen the
6 mm hex. nut on the M6 x 20 mm hex. hd. bolt, and turn the
M6 x 20 mm hex. hd. bolt if necessary. (See Fig. 3.)
[CAUTION] Perform the adjustment carefully to ensure that the saw blade does not cut into the table. Also,
on completion of adjustment, ensure without fail that the 6 mm hex. nut is securely tightened.

8-2. How to Use the Vise Ass'y

(1) The vise ass'y can be mounted on either the left side
base or the right side base, and can be raised or
lowered according to the height of the workpiece.
Insert the support of the vise ass'y into the hole

Turn the knob to thoroughly clamp the workpiece.
[NOTE] The support has two locking grooves into which
the tip of the 5 mm clamp bolt is designed to fit,
to lock the vise ass'y in the desired position.
(2) The vise ass'y can be mounted on either the left side
fence or the right side fence, and can be raised or
lowered according to the height of the workpiece.
Insert the support of the vise ass'y into the hole
1
located on either the left side fence or the right
side fence.
Then tighten the 5 mm clamp bolt, as shown in

Fig. 5.
3 Turn the knob to thoroughly clamp the workpiece.
[Warning] Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the fence; otherwise the workpiece
might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.
