power source and/or battery pack, picking up or

carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your ﬁ nger on the switch

or energising power tools that have the switch on

invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of

the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related

hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer

at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not

turn it on and o .

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or the battery pack from the power tool before

making any adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

with the power tool or these instructions to

operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts

and any other condition that may a ect the

power tool s operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired before

use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions,

taking into account the working conditions and

the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations di erent from

those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger speciﬁ ed by the

manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack

may create a risk of ﬁ re when used with another

battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally

designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and ﬁ re.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)

power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ﬂ ammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools.

Unmodiﬁ ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce

risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the

risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool while you are tired

or under the inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol or

medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the o position before connecting to

(Original instructions)

English

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,

keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,

that can make a connection from one terminal to

another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause

burns or a ﬁ re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact

accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or

burns.

6) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁ ed

repair person using only identical replacement

parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is

maintained.

PRECAUTION

Keep children and inﬁ rm persons away.

When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of

children and inﬁ rm persons.

CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY

WARNINGS

Cutting procedures

a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area

and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary

handle, or motor housing.

If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by

the blade.

b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the

workpiece.

c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the

workpiece.

Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible

below the workpiece.

d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across

your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.

It is important to support the work properly to minimize

body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, when performing an operation where the

cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal

parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator

an electric shock.

f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight

edge guide.

This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the

chance of blade binding.

g) Always use blades with correct size and shape

(diamond versus round) of arbour holes.

Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the

saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or

bolt.

The blade washers and bolt were specially designed

for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of

operation.

Kickback causes and related warnings

- kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or

misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to

lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;

- when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf

closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction

drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;

- if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the

teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top

surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the

kerf and jump back toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below.

a) Maintain a ﬁ rm grip with both hands on the saw

and position your arms to resist kickback forces.

Position your body to either side of the blade, but

not in line with the blade.

Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but

kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if

proper precautions are taken.

b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut

for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw

motionless in the material until the blade comes to

a complete stop.

Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or

pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion

or kickback may occur.

Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the

cause of blade binding.

c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the

saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are

not engaged into the material.

If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from

the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade

pinching and kickback.

Large panels tend to sag under their own weight.

Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides,

near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow

kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and

kickback.

f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers

must be tight and secure before making cut.

If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause

binding and kickback.

g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls

or other blind areas.

The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause

kickback.

Lower guard function

a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each

use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not

move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie

the lower guard into the open position.

If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent.

Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and

make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade

or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If

the guard and the spring are not operating properly,

they must be serviced before use.

Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged

parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for

special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound

cuts”.

Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon

as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be

released.

For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate

automatically.

English

d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the

blade before placing saw down on bench or ﬂ oor.

An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to

walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path.

Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after

switch is released.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 10 – 40°C.

A temperature of less than 10°C will result in over

charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot be

charged at a temperature higher than 40°C.

The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20

– 25°C.

2. When one charging is completed, leave the charger for

about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.

Do not charge more than two batteries consecutively.

3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for

connecting the rechargeable battery.

4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and

charger.

5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.

Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric

current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the

battery.

6. Do not dispose of the battery in ﬁ re. If the battery is burnt,

it may explode.

7. When using this unit continuously, the unit may overheat,

leading to damage in the motor and switch. Please leave

it without using it for approximately 15 minutes.

8. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the

charger. Inserting metal objects or inﬂ ammables into the

charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock

hazard or damaged charger.

9. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.

10. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased

as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too

short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted

battery.

11. Wear earplugs to protect your ears during operation.

12. Use only blade diameter speciﬁ ed on the machine.

13. Do not use any abrasive wheel.

14. Do not use saw blades which are deformed or cracked.

15. Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.

16. Do not use saw blades which do not comply with the

characteristics speciﬁ ed in these instructions.

17. Do not stop the saw blades by lateral pressure on the

disc.

18. Always keep the saw blades sharp.

19. Ensure that the lower guard moves smoothly and freely.

20. Never use the circular saw with its lower guard ﬁ xed in

the open position.

21. Ensure that the retraction mechanism of the guard

system operates correctly.

22. Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade turned

upward or to the side.

23. Ensure that the material is free of foreign matters such as

nails.

24. The saw blades range should be from 165 mm to

162 mm.

25. Pull out battery before carrying out any adjustment,

servicing or maintenance.

26. Be careful of brake kickback.

This circular saw features an electric brake that functions

when the switch is released. As there is some kickback

when the brake functions, be sure to hold the main body

securely.

27. Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms

to the power requirements speciﬁ ed on the product

nameplate.

28. Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the battery

installed to power tool while the switch is in the ON

position, the power tool will start operating immediately,

which could cause a serious accident.

29. When the work area is removed from the power source,

use an extension cord of su cient thickness and rated

capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as

practicable.

30. Avoid cutting in the state where the base has ﬂ oated up

from the material.

When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any

reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless

in the material until the blade comes to a complete

stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work

or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or

KICKBACK may occur. Investigate and take corrective

actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

31. Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade

pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag

under their own weight (Fig. 3). Supports must be

placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut

and near the edge of the panel as shown in Fig. 2.

To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.

When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw

on the work piece, the saw shall be rested on the larger

portion and the smaller piece cut o .

32. Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into

existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade

may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.

NEVER place your hand or ﬁ ngers behind the saw

(Fig. 4). If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump

backwards over your hand, possibly causing severe

injury.

33. WARNING: It is important to support the work piece

properly and to hold the saw ﬁ rmly to prevent loss

of control which could cause personal injury. Fig. 5

illustrates typical hand support of the saw.

34. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part

of the work piece which is solidly supported, not on

the section that will fall o when the cut is made. As

examples, Fig. 6 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut o the

end of board, and Fig. 7 the WRONG way. If the work

piece is short or small, clamp is down.

DON’T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PLACES BY HAND!

35. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside

down in a vise. This is extremely dangerous and can

lead to serious accidents (Fig. 8).

36. Should lever remain loosened, it will create a very

hazardous situation. Always thoroughly clamp it.

(Fig. 12)

37. It is very hazardous to allow wing bolt to remain loosened.

Always thoroughly clamp it. (Fig. 25)

38. Prior to cutting operation, make sure the material you

are going to cut. If the material to be cut is expected to

generate harmful / toxic dusts, make sure the dust bag

or appropriate dust extraction system is connected with

dust outlet tightly.

Before starting to saw, conﬁ rm that the saw blade

has attained full-speed revolution.

Should the saw blade stop or make an abnormal

noise while operating, promptly turn OFF the switch.

Using the circular saw with the saw blade facing

upwards or sideways is very hazardous. Such

uncommon applications should be avoided.

When cutting materials, always wear protective

glasses.

When ﬁ nished with a job, pull out the battery.

39. After having attached the saw blade, reconﬁ rm that the

lock lever is ﬁ rmly secured in the prescribed position.

40. Do not expose directly your eye to the light by looking

into the light.

If your eye is continuously exposed to the light, your eye

will be hurt.

light for 0.5 seconds (o for 0.5 seconds). In such a case,

ﬁ rst let the battery cool, then start charging.

When the pilot lamp ﬂ ickers (at 0.2-second intervals),

check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s

battery connector. If there are no foreign objects, it is

probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning.

Take it to your authorized Service Center.

Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3 seconds to

conﬁ rm that the battery being charged with charger is taken

out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds before reinserting it

to continue charging. If the battery is reinserted within 3

seconds, the battery may not be properly charged.

If the pilot lamp does not blink in red (every second)

even though the charger cord is connected to the power,

it indicates that the protection circuit of the charger may

be activated.

Remove the cord or plug from the power and then

connect it again after 30 seconds or so. If this does

not cause the pilot lamp to blink in red (every second),

please take the charger to the Hitachi Authorized Service

Center.

lamp lights up.

Silent mode reduces maximum motor RPM enabling

e cient work with less noise.

If the load increases while the motor is operating in

Silent mode, it automatically changes to Power mode.

Additionally, if the load decreases again, it automatically

returns to Silent mode.

In Power mode, no change is made to Silent mode even

when the load decreases.

Mode No-load speed

Power 4100 min

-1

Silent 2500 min

-1

NOTE

The mode will only change after a battery is installed and

the switch is pulled once.

The current mode will be maintained even if the switch is

on/o , or the battery is removed/reinserted.

ABOUT THE KICKBACK REDUCTION

SYSTEM

This product is equipped with a Kickback Reduction System

that monitors changes in the motor’s rotation speed and

stops the motor the instant it detects a sudden drop in speed

due to the saw blade becoming bound, etc.

If the Kickback Reduction System activates…

When the Kickback Reduction System activates and stops

the motor:

1. Immediately turn o the main unit’s switch

2. Check for the cause of the load that is applying excessive

pressure against the saw blade

3. Remove the cause of the overload

4. Turn the switch back on

5. Resume cutting

CAUTION

Depending on operating conditions, Kickback Reduction

may not work or may not provide the speciﬁ ed

performance. Make sure that the work piece is placed

and supported properly, and that the main unit is held

ﬁ rmly during cutting. (Fig. 2, 5)

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the saw blade

Since use of as dull saw blade will degrade e ciency

and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or

replace the saw blade as soon as abrasion is noted.

2. Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that

they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be

loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could

result in serious hazard.

3. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power

tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not

become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

4. Maintenance of lower guard

For safe and proper working, always keep the machine

and ventilation slots clean. The lower guard must

always be able to more freely and retract automatically.

Therefore, always keep the area around the lower guard

clean. Remove dust and chips by blowing out with

compressed air or with a brush.

5. Cleaning on the outside

When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth

or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric

solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.

6. Storage

Storing in a place below 40°C and out of the reach of

children.

NOTE

Storing lithium-ion batteries.

Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully

charged before storing them.

Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with

a low charge may result in performance deterioration,

signiﬁ cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering

the batteries incapable of holding a charge.

However, signiﬁ cantly reduced battery usage time may

be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the

batteries two to ﬁ ve times.

If the battery usage time is extremely short despite

repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead

and purchase new batteries.

CAUTION

In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the

safety regulations and standards prescribed in each

country must be observed.

Important notice on the batteries for the Hitachi

cordless power tools

Please always use one of our designated genuine

batteries. We cannot guarantee the safety and

performance of our cordless power tool when used with

batteries other than these designated by us, or when

the battery is disassembled and modiﬁ ed (such as

disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal

parts).

GUARANTEE

We guarantee Hitachi Power Tools in accordance with

statutory/country speciﬁ c regulation. This guarantee does

not cover defects or damage due to misuse, abuse, or

normal wear and tear. In case of complaint, please send

the Power Tool, undismantled, with the GUARANTEE

CERTIFICATE found at the end of this Handling instruction,

to a Hitachi Authorized Service Center.
