PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Check for proper operation of the brake.
This circular saw features an electric brake that functions when the switch is released.
Before using the circular saw, ensure that the electric brake functions properly. If it does
not, bring the tool to a HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for repair.
2. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements
specified on the product nameplate.
3. 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.
4. 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:
5. Prepare a wooden workbench (Fig. 5)
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the
lower surface of the lumber, place the lumber
on a workbench when cutting. If a square block
is utilized as a workbench, select level ground to
ensure it is properly stabilized. An unstable
workbench will result in hazardous operation.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that
the portion of lumber remaining after cutting is
securely anchored or held in position.
6. 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.
7. Confirming condition of the environment:
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to
prescribed precautions.
Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
