SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING:

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

To ensure safer operation of this power tool, HITACHI has adopted a double insulation design. "Double insulation" means that two physically separated insulation systems have been used to insulate the electrically conductive materials connected to the power supply from the outer frame handled by the operator. Therefore, either the symbol "固" or the words "Double insulation" appear on the power tool or on the nameplate. Although this system has no external grounding, you must still follow the normal electrical safety precautions given in this Instruction Manual, including not using the power tool in wet environments.

To keep the double insulation system effective, follow these precautions:

○ Only HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER should disassemble or assemble this power tool, and only genuine HITACHI replacement parts should be installed.

○ Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water, and dry thoroughly.

Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on plastic components; otherwise the plastic may dissolve.

(3) After adjusting the base installing position, tighten the base setting screw with the attached allen wrench completely.

9. Adjusting the blade reciprocating speed

This unit has a built-in electronic control circuit that makes it possible to adjust the variable speed of the saw blade by pulling the switching trigger. (Fig. 15)

If you pull the trigger further in, the speed of the blade accelerates. Begin cutting at a low speed to ensure the accuracy of your target cut position. Once you've obtained a sufficient cutting depth, increase the cutting speed.

Switch Trigger

Fig. 15

CAUTION:

Although this unit employs a powerful motor, prolonged use at a low speed will increase the load unduly and may lead to overheating. Properly adjust the saw blade to allow steady, smooth cutting operation, avoiding any unreasonable use such as sudden stops during cutting operation.

HOW TO USE THE RECIPROCATING SAW

CAUTION:

● Avoid carrying it plugged to the outlet with your finger on the switch. A sudden startup can result in an unexpected injury.
- Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture, etc., enter the inside of the machine through the plunger section during operation. If sawdust and the like accumulate in the plunger section, always clean it before use.
- Do not remove the front cover (refer to Fig. 2). Be sure to hold the body from the top of the front cover.
● During use, press the base against the material while cutting.
Vibration can damage the saw blade if the base is not pressed firmly against the workpiece.
Furthermore, a tip of the saw blade can sometimes contact the inner wall of the pipe, damaging the saw blade.
- Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length. Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the saw blade after subtracting the stroke should be larger than the material (see Fig. 16 and Fig. 18). If you cut a large pipe, large block of wood, etc., that exceeds the cutting capacity of a blade; there is a risk that the blade may contact with the inner wall of the pipe, wood, etc., resulting in damage. (Fig. 17, Fig. 19)

Fig. 20

(2) When cutting metallic materials, use proper machine oil (turbine oil, etc.). When not using liquid machine oil, apply grease over the workpiece.

CAUTION:

The service life of the saw blade will be drastically shortened if you don't use machine oil.

2. Cutting lumber

When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece is fastened firmly before beginning. (Fig. 21)

Illustration of a hand using a tool to lift a wooden block, no text or symbols present

Fig. 21

CAUTION:

Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade when cutting. Also remember to press the base against the lumber firmly.

3. Sawing curved lines

We recommend that you use the BIMETAL blade mentioned in Page 14 for the saw blade since it is tough and hardly breaks.

CAUTION:

Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may break the blade.

4. Plunge cutting

With this tool, you can perform pocket cutting on plywood panels and thin board materials. You can carry out pocket cutting quite easily with the saw blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 23, Fig. 25, and Fig. 27. Use the saw blade that is as short and thick as possible. We recommend for this purpose that you use BI-METAL Blade No. 132 mentioned in Page 14. Be sure to use caution during the cutting operation and observe the following procedures.

(1) Press the lower part (or the upper part) of the base against the material. Pull the switch trigger while keeping the tip of the saw blade apart from the material. (Fig. 22, Fig. 23)

CAUTION:

● Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This can easily damage the blade.
● Never pull the switch trigger while the tip of the saw blade tip is pressed against the material. If you do so, the blade can easily be damaged when it collides with the material.
● Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly while holding the body firmly. If you apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade during the cutting operation, the blade can easily be damaged.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING: Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the receptacle during maintenance and inspection.

1. Inspecting the blade
   Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will result in reduced cutting efficiency and may cause overloading of the motor. Replace the blade with a new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loosened, retighten them immediately.

WARNING: Using this reciprocating saw with loosen screws is extremely dangerous.

1. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

1. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 28)

The Motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. When they become worn to or near the "wear limit", it could result in motor trouble. When an auto-stop carbon brush is equipped, the motor will stop automatically. At that time, replace both carbon brushes with new ones which have the same carbon brush Numbers shown in the figure. In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders.

Wear Limit No. of Carbon Brush 43 0.24" (6 mm) 0.67" (17 mm)

Fig. 28

NOTE: Use HITACHI carbon brush No. 43 indicated in Fig. 28.

1. Replacing carbon brushes

Disassemble the brush caps with a slotted-head screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily removed.

1. Service and repairs

All quality power tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts because of wear from normal use. To assure that only authorized replacement parts will be used, all service and repairs must be performed by a HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER, ONLY.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

●Lead from lead-based paints,

●Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

●Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
