Frequently Asked Questions - C 10RA2 HITACHI

How to change the blade on the Hitachi C 10RA2 saw?

Turn the switch to OFF and unplug the saw. Turn the handwheel to raise the blade to the maximum position. Remove the table insert. Use the wrench to hold the arbor and the hex wrench to loosen the positioning nut counterclockwise. Replace the blade, ensuring the teeth are facing downward at the front. Tighten the nut firmly, then replace the insert.

How to adjust the tilt angle of the blade?

Loosen the tilt lock lever. For quick adjustment, move the handwheel manually to the desired angle. For fine adjustment, push the handwheel to engage the hub teeth with the sector gear, then turn the handwheel for precise adjustment. Tighten the lever after adjustment.

How to use the rip fence?

Lift the handle to release the fence, move it to the desired distance from the blade using the mark on the scale, then lower the handle to lock it. Ensure the fence is parallel to the miter gauge groove to avoid kickback.

What are the important safety precautions?

Always wear safety glasses. Keep guards in place. Never perform freehand cuts; use the rip fence or miter gauge. Keep hands away from the blade. Set blade height to 3.2 mm above the workpiece. Unplug the saw before any blade change or adjustment.

How to prevent kickback?

Use the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls in place. Keep the blade sharp. Ensure the rip fence is parallel to the blade. Do not release the workpiece until it has completely passed the blade. Do not cut twisted or warped pieces or those without a straight edge.

How to clean and maintain the saw?

Regularly clean sawdust with a damp soapy cloth. Inspect carbon brushes every 50 hours (replace if worn to 5 mm). Grease the handwheel and moving parts once a month. Check proper operation of the blade guard before each use.

What type of extension cord to use?

Use a three-conductor grounded extension cord. For lengths 0-7.6 m and 12-16 A current, use minimum 14 AWG. Check that the extension cord is not damaged.

How to make a miter cut?

Remove the rip fence. Set the miter gauge to the desired angle (between 90° and 45° by turning the clamping knob B). Place the workpiece against the gauge, turn on the saw, and push the workpiece gently but completely through the blade.

What to do if the motor stops during use?

The overload protection device has tripped. Wait a few minutes, then press the reset button near the switch. If the problem persists, check that you are not using a dull blade or cutting too hard material.

How to install the optional table stand?

Assemble the braces and legs with square head bolts and nuts. Attach the rubber caps under the legs. Place the saw on the stand and secure it firmly using the positioning brackets supplied with the saw.

10. Adjust the saw blade height so it is about 1/8" (3.2 mm) above the top of the workpiece. More exposure would be hazardous (see Fig. 24).

Fig. 24

1. Never touch any cut-offs while saw blade is running.

2. Feed material slowly in order to make fine cut, keep accuracy, and avoid overloading.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

There are two basic types of cuts. Ripping and cross cutting. In general, cutting with the grain is ripping and across the gain is cross cutting. Neither ripping or cross cutting may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence and cross cutting uses the miter gauge. Safety glasses are being worn.

ALWAYS USE EYE PROTECTION WHEN WORKING WITH THE TOOL TO PREVENT EYE INJURY.

Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection since the lenses are not made of safety glass. Also, use a face mask for additional safety and wear a dust mask if the cutting operation produces dust.

1. Ripping

Fig. 25

Confirm the following items before ripping.

(1) Rip fence is parallel to saw blade.
(2) Rip fence is securely fixed.
(3) Remove the miter gauge.
(4) Spreader is properly aligned with saw blade.
(5) Anti-kickback pawls are functioning properly (see Fig. 9-d).

Cutting operation

①Adjust the saw blade height so it is about 1/8" (3.2 mm) above the top of the workpiece.
②Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the rip fence. Keep the workpiece about 1" (25 mm) away from the saw blade.

CAUTION: The workpiece must have a straightedge against the rip fence and must not be warped, twisted or bowed. Keep both hands away from the saw blade and away from the path of the saw blade.

③Turn on the switch on and allow the saw blade to come up to speed.
④ Keeping the workpiece against the table and rip fence, slowly feed the workpiece rearward all the way through the saw blade. Continue pushing the workpiece until it is clear of the guard and it falls off the rear of the table.
⑤ When ripping long boards or large panels, always use an adequate support. A simple support can be prepared by fixing a piece of plywood to a sawhorse or the like.
⑥ When the width of rip is more than 6" (152 mm) feed the workpiece with one or both hands continuously until it is beyond the saw blade and anti-kickback pawls.

CAUTION: Do not push the free piece that is cut off, merely guide it.

⑦ When the width of rip 2" (50 mm) to 6" (152 mm) wide, use a push stick to feed the workpiece. (Push stick is optional accessory)
⑧When the width of rip is less than 2" (50 mm) wide, use an auxiliary guide a push block.
⑨ When ripping thin material (such as veneer), the workpiece may slide or bind between the bottom of rip fence and the table surface resulting in impossible ripping. Make a board which has the same height and length of the rip fence surface by using a piece of 3/4" (19 mm) thick plywood. Fix the board to the rip fence using four wood screws, so that the bottom of the board touches the table surface.

WARNING: Never operate to pull the workpiece back with the saw blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the saw blade to complete stop, raise the anti-kickback pawls (see Fig. 9-d) on each side of the spreader if necessary and slide the workpiece out.

2. Bevel Ripping

This operation is the same as ripping except that the bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0^ .

WARNING: Only work with the workpiece and rip fence on the right side of the saw blade.

3. Ripping small pieces

⚠ WARNING: It is unsafe to rip small pieces. It is unsafe to put your hands close to the saw blade.

Fig. 26

When a small width is to be ripped and the hand cannot be safely put between the saw blade and rip fence, use one or more push sticks. Use them to hold the workpiece against the table and rip fence and push the workpiece fully past the saw blade.

4. Cross Cutting

Fig. 27

Confirm the following items before cross cutting.

(1) Remove the rip fence.
(2) Spreader is properly aligned with saw blade.
(3) Anti-kickback pawls are functioning properly (see Fig. 9-d).

Cutting Operation

①Adjust the saw blade height so it is about 1/8" (3.2 mm) above the top of the workpiece.
②Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the path of the saw blade in line with the desired cut distance. Keep the workpiece about 1"(25 mm) away from the saw blade.

⚠️ CAUTION: Keep both hands away from the saw blade and away from the path of the saw blade.

③Turn the switch on and allow the saw blade to come up to speed.
④ While keeping the workpiece against the face of the miter gauge, and holding the workpiece flat against the table, slowly push the workpiece through the saw blade.

⚠️ CAUTION: Never operate to pull the workpiece back with the saw blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the saw blade to complete stop, raise the anti-kickback pawls on each side of the spreader if necessary and slide the workpiece out.

5. Bevel Ripping

Cross Cutting

This operation is the same as cross cutting except that the bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0^ .

⚠ WARNING: Only operate with the workpiece and miter gauge on the right side of the table.

6. Mitering

Fig. 28

This operation is the same as cross cutting expect that the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90^ .

⚠ WARNING: Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge and feed the workpiece slowly into the saw blade to prevent the workpiece from moving.

7. Compound Mitering

This is compound of bevel cross cutting and mitering. It is infrequently used. Follow the instruction for both bevel cross cutting and mitering.

8. Work Helpers

For certain operations, work helpers such as a push stick, push block, auxiliary fence, work support or the like should be used.

These helpers can be made by yourself using this table saw.

Refer to following figures which shows typical work helpers dimensions.

Fig. 29

(1) Push Stick

When the width of rip 2" (50 mm) to 6" (152 mm) wide, use a push stick to feed the workpiece.

A push stick is available as an optional accessory (refer to page 10). A push stick can be easily made from a piece of 3/4" (19 mm) thick plywood.

Fig. 30

(2) Push Block

When the width of rip is less than 2" (50 mm) wide, use a push block.

① Use a piece of 3/8" (9.5 mm) and 3/4" (19 mm) thick plywood.
② Glue the small piece of wood 3/8" (9.5 mm) × 3/8" (19 mm) × 2-1/2" (63.5 mm).
③Provide a grip in the center of the plywood and fix together with glue and wood screws.
④ A and B edges must be parallel.

Fig. 31

(3) Auxiliary Fence

When the width of rip is less than 2" (50 mm) the push stick cannot be used because the saw blade guard (see Fig. 23) will interfere with a push stick, use an auxiliary fence and push stick.

① Use a piece of 3/8" (9.5 mm) and 3/4" (19 mm) thick plywood.
②Fasten both together with glue and wood screws.

Fig. 32

CAUTION: The push block is used with the auxiliary fence. The 4-3/4" (121 mm) dimension must be the same on both.

(4) Work Support

① Clamp a piece of plywood to a sawhorse with "C" clamps.
②Adjust the height of the plywood to level it with the height of the table surface.

9. Dado Cutting

⚠ WARNING: To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the switch and disconnect the power plug from the receptacle before mounting or dismounting the dado blade set.

Never attempt to stack dado blades thicker than 1/2" (12.7 mm) thick. Never use the dado set for cut-offs. Never attempt bevel cuts when dadoing. Never use dado if there is vibration (flutter) or a strange noise. Never attempt dado in other than wood. Never put hands over the dado blade.

Take every precaution to prevent kickback of the workpiece. Feed workpiece slowly, especially when cutting deep or wide grooves. When the dado head is hidden from view while cutting, your hands should never be on top of the workpiece. When using a dado blade, the saw blade guard assembly must be removed since there is not cut completely through the wood which will allow the spreader to pass through the workpiece.

⚠️ CAUTION: Use extreme caution when dado cutting.

Always stop the tool and wait for dado blade to come to a complete stop. Then simply withdraw the wood. Use a push stick. Use rip fence or miter gauge. Be alert for potential kickback conditions. Follow the dado blade set manufactures recommendations. When using a dado blade set, the depth of cut is not indicated by the pointer. To know the depth cut, you must measure it with a ruler. Be sure to place the saw blade guard assembly back in its original position and check adjustments when the dado cuts are completed.

A groove cut into the workpiece is called dado. This dado does not extend completely through the workpiece. The dado can be made in various widths and depths according to the need. A typical use for a dado is to make the groove for a shelf. A saw blade can be used to make a dado of any width by marking multiple cuts side by side. However, it is much easier to use a dado blade. The first has to small blades and a series of chips to the remove scrap between the blades. The second type consists of a small thick blade which is caused to wobble by its mounting hubs. This saw will accept dado blades of the cutter chip type to 6" (152 mm) in diameter and 1/2" (12.7 mm) in which. Most wobble type blades are too wide fit on the saw blade spindle safely. A dado blade requires a table insert which has wider opening. This dado insert is available as an optional accessory (refer to page 10). Purchase the dado blade set separately.

Mounting the dado blade set

Fig. 33

Mounting the dado blade set (see Fig. 33), procedures as follows:

①Remove the saw blade guard assembly with the spreader.
②Remove the table insert.
③Dismount the saw blade.
④Mount the dado blade with the teeth pointing down at the front of the table (Using the instructions with the dado blade set).
⑤Mount the dado table insert (optional accessory), instead of the table insert.

⚠️ CAUTION: While tightening the set nut (see Fig. 34), be careful to maintain the even spacing between the tips of the inside cutters. Rotate the dado blade one turn by hand to make sure that it does not contact anything before operation.

SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING

⚠ WARNING: To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the switch and disconnect the power plug from the receptacle before mounting or dismounting a saw blade.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

⚠ WARNING: To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confirm that the 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 ineffective 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.

2. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 35 and Fig. 36)

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. Check the carbon brushes after the first 50 hours of use for a new machine or after a new set of carbon brush have been installed. After the first check, examine them after each about 10 hours of use until such time that replacement is necessary.

When the carbon on either brush is worn to 3/16" (5 mm) in length or if either spring or shunt wire is burned or damaged in any way, replace both carbon brushes (see Fig. 35). If the carbon brushes are found serviceable after removing, reinstall them in the same position as before removed. 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. 36) with a slotted (minus) screwdriver.
