7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models C 10FCH2 and C 10FCE2 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
(2) Caution label (A) (at the front of the hinge) (only the Model C 10FCH2) Do not stare into laser beam. If your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be hurt. Caution label (A) is 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 10FCH2 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 the Model C 10FCH2) 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 the Model C 10FCH2) Saw blade Workpiece The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at the time 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.
Turn. Left bevel cutting Right bevel cutting The Models C 10FCH2 and C 10FCE2 are equipped with sub fence (B). Use sub fence (B) for miter cutting and right bevel cutting. Sub fence (B) supports the workpiece widely for stable cutting. In the case of left bevel cutting, Sub fence raise sub fence (B) as illustrated in Fig.
(4) Press cutting Like the Model C 10FCH, the Models C 10FCH2 and C 10FCE2 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).
Page 19
(1) Setting to cut crown molding at positions in Fig. 14 (See Fig. 15, tilt the head to the left.): Turn the turn table to the right and set the miter angle as follows: For 45û type crown moldings: 35.3û ( mark) For 38û...

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 10FCH2. For the Model C 10FCE2, refer to the parts list separately. Be sure to first disconnect the power plug when performing disassembly or replacement of the saw blade.
