Frequently Asked Questions - C12LCH HiKOKI

What types of materials can I cut with the HiKOKI C12LCH saw?

The saw is designed for cutting aluminum, wood, and similar materials. Do not use for cutting ferrous metals or masonry.

How to adjust the laser to match the cutting line?

Turn on the laser, make a 5 mm deep groove on a workpiece. Use the 4 mm hex wrench to turn the adjustment screw in the gear housing. Turn clockwise to move the laser to the right, counterclockwise to the left.

What is the procedure to change the saw blade?

Unplug the tool. Raise the lower guard, press the spindle lock, loosen the bolt (left-hand thread) with the 17 mm socket wrench. Remove the bolt and washer (B). Install the new blade in the direction of rotation (arrow on blade). Clean the washers, then tighten the bolt counterclockwise.

How to perform an accurate miter cut?

Loosen the side handle, push the angle lock lever, turn the table to the desired angle (positive stops at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45°). Retighten the handle. Use the digital display (on C12LCH) for accuracy of ±0.5°.

What is the maximum cutting capacity at 0°?

The maximum capacity is 63.5 mm height by 200 mm width, or 98 mm height by 155 mm width.

How to maintain and clean the saw?

Lubricate the sliding surfaces (rotating parts of the hinge and vice) once a month with machine oil. Clean the lower guard regularly with a soapy damp cloth. Empty the dust bag frequently.

How often should I replace the carbon brushes?

Check the brushes periodically. Replace them when worn to the wear limit line (about 6 mm remaining length). Use original HiKOKI brushes.

Can I use the saw without the lower guard?

No, never use the saw without the lower guard in place and in good working order. The guard must move freely and return to the rest position.

Fig. 9

The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at the time of factory shipment.

Adjust the positions of the saw blade and the laser line taking the following steps to suit the use of your choice.

(1) Light up the laser marker and make a groove of about 5 ~mm deep on the workpiece that is about 38 ~mm in height and 89 ~mm in width. Hold the grooved workpiece by vise as it is and do not move it.

(2) Then insert a 4 mm hex. bar wrench in the 12 diameter hole on the side of the gear case, turn the hex. socket set screw to move the laser line. (If you turn the Hex. socket screw clockwise, the laser line will shift to the right and if you turn it counterclockwise, the laser line will shift to the left.) When you work with the ink line aligned with the left side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the left end of the groove (Fig. 10). When you align it with the right side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the right side of the groove.

(3) After adjusting the position of the laser line, draw a right-angle ink line on the workpiece and align the ink line with the laser line. When aligning the ink line, slide the workpiece little by little and secure it by vise at a position where the laser line overlaps with the ink line. Work on the grooving again and check the position of the laser line. If you wish to change the laser line's position, make adjustments again following the steps from (1) to (3).

Fig. 10

English

WARNING (Fig. 11 and Fig. 12)

○ Make sure before plugging the power plug into the receptacle that the main body and the laser marker are turned off.
Exercise utmost caution in handling a switch trigger for the position adjustment of the laser line, as the power plug is plugged into the receptacle during operation.

If the switch trigger is pulled inadvertently, the saw blade can rotate and result in unexpected accidents.

Fig. 12

○ Do not remove the laser marker to be used for other purposes.

CAUTION

○ Laser radiation - Do not stare into beam.
○ Laser radiation on work table. Do not stare into beam. If your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be hurt.
○ Do not dismantle it.
Do not give strong impact to the laser marker (main body of tool); otherwise, the position of a laser line can go out of order, resulting in the damage of the laser marker as well as a shortened service life.
Keep the laser marker lit only during a cutting operation. Prolonged lighting of the laser marker can result in a shortened service life.
○ Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

NOTE

○ Perform cutting by overlapping the ink line with the laser line.
When the ink line and the laser line are overlapped, the strength and weakness of light will change, resulting in a stable cutting operation because you can easily discern the conformity of lines. This ensures the minimum cutting errors.
☐ In outdoor or near-the-window operations, it may become difficult to observe the laser line due to the sunlight. Under such circumstances, move to a place that is not directly under the sunlight and engage in the operation.
Do not tug on the cord behind the motor head or hook your finger, wood and the like around it; otherwise, the cord may come off and the laser marker may not be lit up.
☐ Check and make sure on a periodic basis if the position of the laser line is in order. As regards the checking method, draw a right-angle ink line on the workpiece with the height of about 38 mm and the width of 89 mm, and check that the laser line is in line with the ink line [The deviation between the ink line and the laser line should be less than the ink line width (0.5 mm)] (Fig. 13).

Fig. 13

8. Digital display panel (for C12LCH) (Fig. 14 and Fig. 15)

(1) Turning on the digital display switch shows 0^ for both miter and bevel angle, regardless of main unit angle.
(2) Align the main unit angle with the tilt angle (0°) and miter angle (0°) and hold down their reset buttons for at least 0.2 seconds.
(3) Turning on the laser marker switch while the digital display switch is on, lights up the laser marker (On the C12FCH, only the laser marker switch).

CAUTION

○ When operating the digital panel, have the motor head section at the top limit position and the blade stopped.
If the figure shown on the miter angle digital display is different from the positive stop angle (for example, 45.0^ 45.5^ , 31.6^ 32.0^ )

then the positive stop has probably deviated slightly from its correct position. If this happens, do as follows.

Fig. 14

Fig. 15

(1) Move the turntable left and right with the side handle loosened, and set the turntable to the correct position.
(2) If the figures on the display and positive stop still do not match, then return the turntable to the 0^ position. Next move the turntable left and right with the side handle loosened as shown in Fig. 16. After setting it to the correct position 0^ , press the reset button again.

Fig. 16

NOTE

Before starting to cut, align the main unit to the miter angle 0^ and the bevel angle 0^ and hold down the reset buttons for at least
0.2 seconds. If you press the digital display switch to ON without aligning the main unit to 0^ , then the figures appearing on the digital display and the main unit angle will not match.
☐ The laser marker will not light up if the digital display switch is turned off (only on C12LCH).

English

☐ Do not use the main unit near equipment that generates electrical noise such as generators. Electrical noise might cause faulty readings or operation on the digital display.

9. Cutting operation

(1) As shown in Fig. 17 the width of the saw blade is the width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the right (viewed from the operator's position) when length ⓑ is desired, or to the left when length ⓐ is desired.

If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with the laser line.

(2) Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, slowly push down the handle and bring the saw blade in the vicinity of the material to be cut.
(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece to return it to the full retract position.

Fig. 17

CAUTION

☐ For maximum dimensions for cutting, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” table.
○ Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed. On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency.
☐ Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.
Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece. If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
Every time one cutting of deep-cutting operation is finished, turn the switch off, and check that the saw blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it to the full retract position.
○ Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.

1. Miter cutting procedures

(1) Loosen the side handle and push the lever for angle stoppers. Then, adjust the turntable until the indicator aligns with desired setting on the miter scale (Fig. 18).

Fig. 18

(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the desired position.

NOTE

Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0^ center setting, at 15^ , 22.5^ , 31.6^ and 45^ settings.

Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.

Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator out of alignment, or with the side handle not properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.

CAUTION

Never remove the side handle; use of the tool without it would be hazardous. To prevent an accident or personal injury always firmly tighten the miter handle.

1. Bevel cutting procedures (Fig. 19)

(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the left.
(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then secure the clamp lever.

Fig. 19

WARNING

When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side of the blade, the short cut-off portion will come to rest on the right or left side of the saw blade. Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece. If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor head to the initial position.

Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the lower guard to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.

1. Bevel angle fine adjustment (Fig. 20 and Fig. 21)
   (1) Grip the handle on the motor head and position it at the bevel angle you need. Temporarily tighten the clamp lever.

Fig. 20

Fig. 21

English

CAUTION

If not tightened firmly enough the motor head might suddenly move or slip, causing injuries. Be sure to tighten the motor head section enough so it will not move.

(2) Make fine adjustments to the bevel angle by gripping the handle and moving the knob (A).

NOTE

Turning knob (A) clockwise, allows fine adjustment of the main unit to the left (as seen from front).

Turning knob (A) counterclockwise, allows fine adjustment of the main unit to the right (as seen from front).

If you tilt the main unit in the direction that does not place a load on plate (A) and pull plate (A), the contact position changes and the right slope angle becomes 3^ .

If you tilt the main unit in the direction that does not place a load on plate (B) and pull plate (B), the contact position changes and the right slope angle becomes 48^ .

(3) After adjusting to the desired angle, tighten the clamp lever and clamp the motor head.

CAUTION

Always check that the clamp lever is secured and the motor head is clamped. If you attempt angle cutting without clamping the motor head, then the motor head might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.

1. Compound cutting procedures

Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 10 and 11 above. For maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" table.

CAUTION

Always secure the workpiece with the right hand side for compound cutting. Never rotate the table to the right for compound cutting, because the saw blade might then contact the clamp or vise that secures the workpiece, and cause personal injury or damage.

1. Installing the holders (Optional accessory)

The holders help keep longer workpieces stable and in place during the cutting operation.

(1) As indicated in Fig. 22, use a steel square for aligning the upper edge of the holders with the base surface.

Loosen the 6 mm wing nut. Turn a height adjustment bolt 6 mm, and adjust the height of the holder.

Fig. 22

(2) After adjustment, firmly tighten the wing nut and fasten the holder with the 6 mm knob bolt (optional accessory). If the length of Height Adjustment Bolt 6 mm is insufficient, spread a thin plate beneath. Make sure the end of Height Adjustment Bolt 6 mm does not protrude from the holder.

1. Stopper for precision cutting (Stopper and holder are optional accessory)

The stopper facilitates continuous precision cutting in lengths of 280 mm to 450 mm.

To install the stopper, attach it to the holder with the 6 mm wing bolt as shown in Fig. 23.

1. Confirmation for use Crown molding vise, Crown molding Stopper (L) and (R) (Optional accessory)

(1) Crown molding Stopper (L) and (R) (optional accessories) allow easier cuts of crown molding without tilting the saw blade. Install them in the base both-sides side to be shown in Fig. 24. After inserting tighten the 6 ~mm knob bolts to secure the Crown molding Stoppers.

(2) The crown molding vise (B) (Optional accessory) can be mounted on either the left fence (Fence (B)) or the right fence (Fence (A)). It can unite with the slope of the crown molding and vice can be pressed down.

Then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely attach the crown molding in position. To raise or lower the vise assembly, first loosen the 6 mm wing bolt.

After adjusting the height, firmly tighten the 6 mm wing bolt; then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely attach the crown molding in position (See Fig. 25).

Fig. 25

Position crown molding with its WALL CONTACT EDGE against the guide fence and its CEILING CONTACT EDGE against the Crown molding Stoppers as shown in Fig. 25. Adjust the Crown molding Stoppers according to the size of the crown molding.

Tighten the 6 mm wing bolt to secure the Crown molding Stoppers.

WARNING

Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the crown molding to the fence; otherwise the crown molding might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.

Do not bevel cutting. The main body or saw blade may contact the sub fence, resulting in an injury.

CAUTION

Always confirm that the motor head (see Fig. 1 on page 38) does not contact the crown molding vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the 6 mm knob bolt and move the crown molding vise assembly to a position where it will not contact the saw blade.

MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING SAW BLADE

WARNING

To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the trigger switch and disconnect the power plug from the receptacle before removing or installing a blade. If cutting work is done in a state where the bolt is not sufficiently tightened, the bolt can get loose, the blade can come off, and the lower guard can get damaged, resulting in injuries.

Also, check that the bolts are properly tightened before plugging the power plug into the receptacle.

☐ If the bolts are attached or detached using tools other than the 17 mm box wrench (standard accessory), excessive or improperly tightening occurs, resulting in injury.

1. Mounting the saw blade (Fig. 26, Fig. 27 and Fig. 28)

(1) Rotate the lower guard (plastic) to the top position.
(2) Press in spindle lock and loosen bolt with 17 mm box wrench (standard accessory).
Since the bolt is left-hand threaded, loosen by turning it to the right as show in Fig. 27.

NOTE

If the spindle lock cannot be easily pressed in to lock the spindle, turn the bolt with 17 mm box wrench (standard accessory) while applying pressure on the spindle lock.

The saw blade spindle is locked when the spindle lock is pressed inward.

(4) Remove the bolt and washer (B).
(5) Lift the lower guard and mount the saw blade.

WARNING

When mounting the saw blade, confi rm that the rotation indicator mark on the saw blade and the rotation direction of the gear case (see Fig. 1 on page 38) are properly matched.

(6) Thoroughly clean washer (B) and the bolt, and install them onto the saw blade spindle.

(7) Press in the spindle lock and tighten the bolt by turning it to the left by standard accessories wrench (17 mm box wrench) as indicated in Fig. 27.

CAUTION

○ Confirm that the spindle lock has returned to the retract position after installing or removing the saw blade.
○ Tighten the bolt so it does not come loose during operation.
○ Confirm that the bolt has been properly tightened before the power tool is started.

2. Dismounting the saw blade

Dismount the saw blade by reversing the mounting procedures described in paragraph 1 above. The saw blade can easily be removed after lifting the lower guard.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING

To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confirm the trigger switch is turned OFF and that the power plug has been disconnected from the receptacle before performing any maintenance or inspection of this tool.

1. Inspecting the saw blade

Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the first sign of deterioration or damage. A damaged saw blade can cause personal injury and a worn saw blade can cause ineffic active operation and possible overload to the motor.

CAUTION

Never use a dull saw blade. When a saw blade is dull, its resistance to the hand pressure applied by the tool handle tends to increase, making it unsafe to operate the power tool.

1. Inspecting the lever (Fig. 29 and Fig. 30)

If the M8 hexagonal head bolts (2) are loose, align the sides of the fence and saw blade with the steel square. After adjusting the saw blade and fence to a ninety-degree angle, tighten the lever securing hexagonal head bolts (2).

1. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 31 and Fig. 32)

The carbon brushes in the motor are expendable parts.

If the carbon brushes become excessively worn, motor trouble might occur.

Therefore, inspect the carbon brushes periodically and replace them when they have become worn to the wear limit line as shown in Fig. 31.

Also, keep the carbon brushes clean so that they will slide smoothly within the brush holders.

The carbon brushes can easily be removed after removal of the brush caps (see Fig. 32) with a slotted (minus) screwdriver.

4. About Handling the Motor (see Fig. 1 on page 38)

Winding of the motor is said to be the heart of this tool. Exercise utmost caution not to damage the winding by exposing it to wash oil or water.

NOTE

Accumulation of dust and the like inside the motor can result in a malfunction.

After using the motor for 50 hours or so, carry out no-load running, and blow in the dry air from a wind hole at the motor's rear. Such action is effective to discharge dust and the like.

5. Inspecting the screws

Regularly inspect each component of the power tool for looseness.

Re-tighten screws on any loose part.

WARNING

To prevent personal injury, never operate the power tool if any components are loose.

6. Inspecting the lower guard for proper operation

Before each use of the tool, test the lower guard (see Fig. 1 on page 38) to assure that it is in good condition and that it moves smoothly.

Never use the tool unless the lower guard operates properly and it is in good mechanical condition.

7. Storage

After operation of the tool has been completed, check that the following has been performed:

(1) Trigger switch is in OFF position,
(2) Power plug has been removed from the receptacle,

When the tool is not in use, keep it stored in a dry place out of the reach of children.

8. Lubrication

Lubricate the following sliding surfaces once a month to keep the power tool in good operating condition for a long time (Fig. 1 on page 38 and Fig. 2 on page 38).

Use of machine oil is recommended.

Oil supply points:

* Rotary portion of hinge
* Rotary portion of vise assembly

9. Cleaning

Periodically remove chips, dust and other waste material from the surface of the power tool, especially from the inside of the lower guard with a damp, soapy cloth. To avoid a malfunction of the motor, protect it from contact with oil or water.

If the laser line becomes invisible due to chips and the like adhered onto the window of the laser marker's light-emitting section, wipe and clean the window with a dry cloth or a soft cloth moistened with soapy water, etc.
