SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER SAW with

a) Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc.
Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at le mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece.
Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning.

The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.

g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut.

Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on tile spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.

h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece.

Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.

i) Cut only one workpiece at a time.

Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

j) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, fi rm work surface before use.

A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming unstable.

k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system.

Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.

I) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top.

Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.

m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support.

Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.

n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.

o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing.

Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the blade.

p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece.

This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.

q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material.

Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause lass of control or damage to the miter saw.

r) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece.

Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.

s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position.

The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.

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

(1) 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.

(2) 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 be 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 charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.
  • When the charge indicator lamp flickers (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.

After installing the saw blade, confirm that the spindle lock has been returned to the released position before using the power tool (see Fig. 3).

  1. Eye protection

Always wear eye protection with side shields that meets the requirements of ANSI Standard Z87.1. Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection because they do not contain impact resistant safety glass.

WARNING

Operating the tool without wearing proper eye protection may result in serious injury.

AFTER INSTALLING THE POWER SUPPLY (BATTERY) TO THE TOOL, CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE TOOL AS FOLLOWS:

7. Elec tric brake

This tool is equipped with an electric brake which will typically stop the blade within 5 seconds after the trigger switch is released.

Occasionally, there will be a delay in the brake engaging which will result in a longer blade stopping time. On rare occasions, the brake may not engage at all and the saw blade will coast to a stop.

If the brake fails to engage frequently, depress and release the trigger switch to turn the tool on and off 4 or 5 times. If the brake still does not engage, have the tool serviced at a metabo HPT authorized service center.

Always confirm that the saw blade has completely stopped before raising it from the workpiece.

The brake is not a substitute for a properly functioning lower guard. Check the function of the lower guard before each use. Serious personal injury may occur if the lower guard does not move smoothly and cover the blade properly.

WARNING

Please be aware of the reaction of the Motor Head (Fig.2) when the brake is activated. Braking causes the Motor Head to jerk downward and the user should be prepared for this reaction, especially when the trigger switch is released before the blade is completely down. Failure to be familiar with, and prepared for, the operational characteristics of the tool may cause serious injury.

8. Trial Run

After confirming that no one is standing behind, the power tool start and confirm that no operating abnormalities exist before attempting a cutting operation.

9. Inspect the rotating stability of the saw blade.

For precise cutting, rotate the saw blade and check for deflection to confirm that the blade is not noticeably unstable; otherwise vibrations might occur and cause an accident.

HiKOKI C3610DRA - Cutting Operation - 2

text_image Adjusting line a b

Fig. 32

(1) As shown in Fig. 32 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, push the handle down carefully until the saw blade approaches the workpiece.

(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.

CAUTION

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.

WARNING

  • Confir rm 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 or deep-cutting operation is finished, turn the trigger 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.
  • Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the motor. Touch the motor and if it's hot, stop your cutting operation at once and rest for 10 minutes or so, and then restart your cutting operation.

4. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting)

Loosen the slide securing knob (see Fig. 2), grip the handle and slide the saw blade forward.

Then press down on the handle and slide the saw blade backward to cut the workpiece as indicated in Fig. 33. This facilitates cutting of workpieces of up to 3-1/2" (89 mm) in height and 11-1/2" (292 mm) in width.

(2) Workpieces up to 2-1/2" (64 mm) high and 12-1/2" (318 mm) wide:

Workpieces of up to 2-1/2" (64 mm) in height and up to 12-1/2" (318 mm) in width can be cut in the same manner as described in paragraph 4-(1) above on page 30.

CAUTION

- If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw blade may vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut.

Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully.

● In slide cutting, gently push the (rearwards) in a single, smooth operation.

Stopping the handle movement during the cut will cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece.

WARNING

● For slide cutting, follow the procedures indicated above in Fig. 33.

Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is very dangerous because the saw blade could kick upward from the workpiece. Therefore, always slide the handle away from the operator.

● Always return the carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation in order to reduce the risk of injury.

● Never put your hand on the side handle during the cutting operation because the saw blade comes close to the miter lock handle when the motor head is lowered.

5. Bevel cutting procedures

WARNING

The sub fences must be extended when making any bevel cut. Failure to extend the sub fences will not allow enough space for the blade to pass through which could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the fence.

HiKOKI C3610DRA - WARNING - 1

text_image 33.9° Set pin (A) Bevel lock handle

Fig. 34

(1) When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel lock handle.
(2) Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle while pulling the set pin (A), as shown on the bevel scale.
(3) The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a 90° straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45°. Tighten the bevel lock handle to lock the cutting head in position. Positive stops are provided at 0°, 33.9° and 45°.

NOTE

The saw comes with a 33.9° set pin (A) for setting h and l e back up crown holding cuts when the angle of the walls equals 90°.
(4) Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece on the table for pre-alignment of your cut.

NOTE

If 48^ left bevel is necessary, slide the bevel stop plate (A) clockwise away from the stop block (A) to achieve 48^ left bevel.

If 48^ right bevel is necessary, slide the bevel stop plate (B) counterclockwise away from the stop block (B) to achieve 48^ right bevel.

Also, use anchor plate. (see Fig. 25-b)

HiKOKI C3610DRA - NOTE - 1

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.

HiKOKI C3610DRA - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

  • If not tightened fi rmly 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.
    ● Always check that the bevel lock handle 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.

text_image Bottom line of the groove Turntable

Fig. 48

Grooves in the workpiece can be cut as indicated in Fig. 47 by adjusting the stop knob.

Cutting depth adjustment procedure:

(1) Turn the anchor plate on the direction shown in Fig. 48.

Lower the motor head, and turn the stop knob by hand. (Where the head of the stop knob contacts the anchor plate.)

(2) Adjust to the desired cutting depth by setting the distance between the saw blade and the surface of the turntable (see ⑥ in Fig. 48).

NOTE

When cutting a single groove at either end of the workpiece, remove the unneeded portion with a chisel.

  1. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum sash

Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when tightened too much in a vise assembly. This will cause ineffi cient cutting and possible overload of the motor.

When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect the workpiece as shown in Fig. 49-a. Set the wood plate near the cutting section.

When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade with cutting oil (non-combustible) to achieve smooth cutting and a fine finish.

In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the wood plate as shown in Fig. 49-b to ensure in the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting section of the workpiece and tighten it using both the vise assembly and the clamp available in the market.
