In addition, the same compound saw without the laser guide system Model C 10FCE is introduced in tandem with the Model C 10FCH. With the new Models C 10FCH and C 10FCE, we aim to enhance the share of the Hitachi compound saw series.
The Models C 10FCH and C 10FCE are easier to operate. (4) Lightweight design The Model C 10FCH weighs 12.5 kg and the Model C 10FCE weighs 12 kg. They are the lightest compound saws in this class and easy to carry.

C 10FCB (6) Powerful 15 amps motor The Models C 10FCH and C 10FCE are equipped with a 15-ampere motor. The Models C 10FCH and C 10FCE can cut workpieces as quickly as the Model C 10FCB. (7) Thumb actuated positive stops for quick and easy miter adjustment The positive stops are provided to adjust the turn table position for miter cutting more securely than the conventional Model C 10FCB.

7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models C 10FCH and C 10FCE Compound Saws by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale the salesperson carefully ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Instruction Manual, and fully understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the Warning Labels and Caution Labels attached to each machine.
Page 11
(4) Caution label (A) (at the front of the hinge) and caution label (C) (at the front of the base) (only Model C 10FCH) Do not stare into laser beam. If your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be hurt. Caution label (A) and caution label (C) are adhered to each machine to comply with the standards for the safe use of laser equipment.
(2) Laser radiation when open. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS. The lilfespan of the laser marker in the Model C 10FCH is about 2,160 hours. (About three years: 4 hours of use/ day x 180 days/year)
7-5. Ambient illuminance and Visibility of Laser Line (Only Model C 10FCH) The visibility of the laser line on the workpiece changes depending on the brightness of the working environment. Instruct the customer to consider the brightness of the working environment when using the laser marker referring to the following table.
8. ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION PRECAUTIONS 8-1. Position Adjustment of Laser Line (Only Model C 10FCH) Saw blade The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at the time Workpiece of factory shipment. Depending upon the cutting choice, align the...
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.
8-3. Confirmation for Use of Sub Fence (Standard accessory) In the case of press cutting and miter cutting, use the sub Sub fence (standard fence. The sub fence can be installed on the left side of the accessory) guide fence. Insert the rods of the sub fence into the holes 6 mm wing bolt in the guide fence.
(4) Press cutting Like the Model C 10FC, the Models C 10FCH and C 10FCE can be used for press cutting of workpieces up to 59 mm x 144 mm (2-1/4" x 5-5/8") in a single operation by simply pushing the saw blade section (head) downward.
Page 18
(7) Compound (miter + bevel) cutting Compound cutting can be accomplished by combining the miter cutting and bevel cutting operations described in paragraphs (4) and (5) above. (For details, please refer to the Instruction Manual.) When the saw blade section (head) is inclined 45û to the left, the table can be turned up to 45û to the right and left. (8) Crown molding cutting This machine can cut two types of crown molding workpieces by combining the miter and bevel cutting operations (for USA).

9. ADJUSTMENT OF COMPONENTS 9-1. Bevel Angle Adjustment Before the power tool is shipped from the factory, it is adjusted for 0û and left 45û bevel cutting angles. The positioning and bevel cutting angle can be adjusted by changing the height of the 8 mm nylock bolt (maximum bevel cutting angle is 48û).
[Bold] numbers in the descriptions below correspond to the item numbers in the pars list and exploded assembly diagram of the Model C 10FCH. For the Model C 10FCE, refer to the parts list separately. Be sure to first disconnect the power plug when performing disassembly or replacement of the saw blade.
