Bevel Ripping; Bevel Crosscutting (Fig. Y) - Hitachi C 10RB Manual De Instrucciones

English

BEVEL RIPPING

This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel
angle is set to an angle other than "0º".
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
To avoid injury from the blade contact, never make cuts
narrower than 1/2" wide.
1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger
piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.
2. When a small width is to be ripped and your hand
cannot safely pass between the blade and the rip
fence, use one or more push sticks to move the
workpiece. Always use a push stick during ripping
operations.
CROSSCUTTING (FIG. X)
To prevent serious injury:
• Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table
saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that
even a careless fraction of a second is enough to
cause a severe injury.
• Keep both hands away from the blade and the path
of the blade.
• Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards
during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback
and serious injury to the user can occur.
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in a
miter gauge groove on the table.
2. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8 in. higher than the
top of the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge
with the blade path in line with the desired cut
location. Move the workpiece to 1in. distance from
the blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up
to full speed. Never stand directly inline of the saw
blade path, always stand to the side of the blade that
you are cutting on.
5. Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter
gauge (3) and flat against the table. Then slowly
push the workpiece through the blade.
6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade
turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the
workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.
WARNING
Always position the larger surface of the workpiece
on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel
crosscutting to avoid instability.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE
(Fig. X-1)
Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an
auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or
short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood,
drill two holes through it and attach it to the miter gauge
with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere
with the proper operation of the sawblade guard. When
cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple outfeed
support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Y)

This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting
except the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.
Always work to the right side of the blade during
this type of cut. The miter gauge (1) must be in the
right side groove (2) because the bevel angle may
cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut if
used on the left side groove.
1. Adjust the blade (3) to the desired angle, and tighten
the blade bevel lock knob.
2. Tighten miter lock handle at 90°.
3. Hold workpiece firmly against the face of the miter
gauge (1) throughout the cutting operation.
NOTE: When tilting the blade to 45°, the miter gauge
handle will hit the blade guard.
