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, nonskid 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) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) 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.

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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS

DANGER!

a) Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

Never use any abrasive wheels

Burst of abrasive wheel cause serious injury of operator or persons around the working area.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS

Causes and operator prevention of kickback:

• K ickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.

Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop.

Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.

Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material.

If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

d) Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.

Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it m cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS WITH INNER PENDULUM GUARD

a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depth of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts". Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2-3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer.

Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.

Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

CAUTION:

• When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp may light in green.

The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging. (UC18YRL, UC18YFL)

• When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2 second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger's battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center. (UC18YRL, UC18YFL)

BEFORE USE

1. Check the work area environment Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter. Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate.
2. Check if saw blade is tightened While the saw blade is tightened securely for immediate use when it is assembled at the factory, be sure to check it out again for caution's sake. A bolt can be tightened when it is turned clockwise. Use the provided box wrench to check it out. For further details, refer to the item of [MOUNTING AND DISCOUNTING THE SAW BLADE] on Page 18.
3. Check if wing nut is tightened If the wing nut to adjust cutting depth (Fig. 8) is loose, injury can result. Make sure that it is tightened securely.
4. Check performance of lower guard

WARNING:

Make absolutely sure that the lower guard is not fixed. Also, check and see if it can move smoothly. If the saw blade is kept exposed, injury can result.

The lower guard (refer to Fig. 3) serves to protect your body from coming into contact with the saw blade. Make absolutely certain that the cover smoothly performs to cover the saw blade. If the lower guard should not move smoothly, never use it without repairing it. In such a case, get in touch with the store where you bought the circular saw or the HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for necessary repair.

1. Check battery insertion

WARNING:

If the battery is inserted while the power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately, inviting serious accident.

CAUTION:

Until the battery locks in place with a little click, if not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool causing injury to you or someone around you.

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 AUTHORIZATION SERVICE CENTER.

1. Prepare a wooden work bench (Fig. 7)

Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface of the lumber, place the lumber on a work bench when cutting. If a square block is utilized as a work bench, select level ground to ensure it is properly stabilized. An unstable work bench will result in hazardous operation.

Fig. 7

CAUTION:

To avoid possible accident, always ensure that the portion of lumber remaining after cutting is securely anchored or held in position.

ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE

1. Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 8)

WARNING:

If the wing-nut is loose, injury can result. Tighten it securely after adjustment.

To adjust cutting depth, loosen the Wing-nut and, while holding the base with one hand, move the main body up and down to obtain the prescribed cutting depth.

After adjusting to the prescribed cutting depth, tighten the Wing-nut securely.

Fig. 8

1. Adjusting the angle of inclination

WARNING:

If the wing-nut is loose, injury can result. Tighten it securely after adjustment.

As shown in Fig. 9 by loosening the wing-bolt on the inclined gauge, the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of 50^ in relation to the base. Always insure that the wing-bolt is thoroughly tightened after making the desired adjustment.

Fig. 9

NOTE:

Values of the inclined gauge provided on the base merely serve as a rough guideline. For cutting operation at an inclined posture, use the circular saw after adjusting the angle between the base and the saw blade with a protractor, etc.

3. Regulating the guide (Fig. 10)

The cutting position can be regulated by moving the guide to the left or right after loosening its knob-bolt. The guide may be mounted on either the right or left side of the tool.

Fig. 10

OPERATION

WARNING:

• Never touch the moving parts.
• Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade turned upward or to the side.

• Do not fix and secure the switch lock. Besides, keep your finger off the switch trigger when the circular saw is being carried around. Otherwise, the main body switch can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.

• Keep the light ON during cutting operation only. If it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.

CAUTION:

• Don't remove circular saw from workpiece during a cut while the saw blade is moving.
  Pull out the battery after completing operation.

NOTE:

Take care not to lock the motor. If the motor is locked, immediately turn the power off. If the motor is locked for a while, the motor or battery may be burnt.

1. Operation of switch (Switch trigger and light switch) (Fig. 11) For safe operation of the machine, a "switch lock" is provided on the side of a handle. If the "switch lock" is pulled in a state where it is pressed in the direction of the arrow mark, the main switch can be turned ON.

(1) Switch lock is used as the "light switch". If the "switch lock (light switch)" is pulled in a state, the light is turned ON.
(2) After the switch is turned ON, even when you release your hand from the switch lock, the body continues running and the light continues being turned ON as long as you keep on pulling the switch trigger.
(3) If you release the switch trigger, you can turn OFF the switch and the "switch lock" returns to the original position automatically and the light turns OFF too.

Fig. 11

1. Working performance per single charge (Reference data)
   Cutting capability differs according to the condition of lumber, type of saw blade, ambient temperature, battery characteristics, etc.

Wood	Capacity
	Battery (EBM1830)	Battery (BCL1815)
2 × 8 (Spruce-Pine-Fir)	110 cuts 55	cuts
Concreteform plywood (1/2" (12 mm) t)	133 ft (40 m)	67 ft (20 m)

To improve working efficiency per single charge,

• Minimize operation (no-load operation) other than cutting;
  Avoid any unreasonably forced pressure to the motor during cutting operation by twisting or pressing the circular saw forcibly;
  Avoid any use of dull saw blade.
• Cutting procedures

CAUTION:

• Recheck that the saw blade is securely clamped.
• Confirm that the wing-nut for adjusting the slot depth, the wing-bolt for adjusting the angle of inclination.

(1) Place the base on the material, then align the premarked line and the saw blade with the notch at the front of the base (Fig. 12).
(2) When the base is not inclined, use the large notch (Fig. 12, Fig. 13). If the base is inclined (45 degrees), use the small notch (Fig. 12, Fig. 14).

Fig. 12

Fig. 13 Not inclined

Fig. 14

NOTE:

When using the saw at the inclination of 45 degrees, use both the marks of on the bevel plate and [45] on the inclined gauge of the base (Fig. 15). What's more, if it is absolutely essential to use the saw at a precise angle, make adjustment using a protractor, etc.

Fig. 15

(3) Ensure that the switch is turned to the ON position before the saw blade comes in contact with the lumber. The switch is turned ON when the trigger is squeezed; and OFF when the trigger is released. Moving the saw straight at a constant speed will produce optimum cutting.

CAUTION:

Before starting to saw, ensure that the saw blade has reached full speed revolution.
- Should the saw blade be stopped or made an abnormal noise during operation, turn off the switch immediately.
- When finished with a job, pull out the battery from the main body.
Twisting and forcibly pressing the saw during cutting can result in unreasonable pressure on the motor, so try to go straight quietly.
In the situation where the circular saw is continuously operated while replacing the battery with stocked spare batteries one after another, the motor tends to overheat. Therefore, whenever the housing becomes hot, give the saw a break for a while.
- Avoid cutting operation in a state where the base bottom is afloat from the material being cut. Otherwise, the motor can get locked.

MOUNTING AND DISCOUNTING THE SAW BLADE

CAUTION:

To avoid serious accident, ensure the switch is in the OFF position, and pull out the battery.
