1. PRODUCT NAME

Hitachi Circular Saw, Model C 6MFA [165 mm (6-1/2")]

Hitachi Circular Saw, Model C 7MFA [190 mm (7-1/2")]

2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE

Circular saw market in the European countries are mainly demanding the heavy-duty machines for professionals.

However, potential demands for reasonably priced and light-duty machines are seemed to be strong. We will

expand selling the circular saws with reasonable price and high performance for European countries to find a new

market. The key features are as follows:

(1) Provided with parallel adjustment system

(2) Adopting base made of aluminum which is strong and precise

(3) Reasonable price

3. APPLICATIONS

Cutting of various wood materials

4. SELLING POINTS

4-1. Selling Point Descriptions

(1) Parallel adjustment system

The parallelism can be easily fine-adjusted by using the parallel adjustment system. The parallelism may be

slightly shifted when the cutting depth is adjusted. If the parallelism is shifted, adjust it according to the

following procedure.

(a) Loosen the locking screw of the saw cover hinge (Fig. 1).

(b) Draw the protective cover in the saw cover.

(Fig. 2).

(d) Move the marked piece of wood to the front of the base and turn the parallel adjustment screw until the

mark aligns with the side of the base (Fig. 3).

(e) After adjustment, tighten the locking screw securely.

(2) Accurate and sturdy aluminum die-cast base

Thanks to the sturdy aluminum die-cast base, the Models C 6MFA/C 7MFA can cut workpieces accurately and

the cut surfaces of the workpieces are smooth.

(3) High performance 40-tooth tungsten carbide tipped (TCT) saw blade as standard

High performance TCT saw blade (40 teeth) is provided as standard instead of the conventional combination

blade. The Models C 6MFA and C 7MFA provide greater maximum cutting depth than the conventional

models by using a 165 mm dia. TCT saw blade and a 190 mm dia. TCT saw blade respectively.

(4) Double-insulated construction

Grounding is not required thanks to the double-insulated construction.

7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION

In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models C 6MFA and C 7MFA Circular 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 Handling Instructions.

7-1. Handling Instructions

Although every effort is made in each step of design, manufacture, and inspection to provide protection against

safety hazards, the dangers inherent in the use of any electric tool cannot be completely eliminated. Accordingly,

general precautions and suggestions for the use of electric power tools, and specific precautions and suggestions

for the use of the circular saw are listed in the Handling Instructions to enhance the safe and efficient use of the

tool by the customer. Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar with the contents of the Handling Instructions to

be able to offer appropriate guidance to the customer during sales promotion.

* The above figure is based on the 230 V motor.

Hold the Bearing Holder [3] in a cylindrical jig with an inside

diameter of 42 mm to 43 mm (approx. 1-23/32"), and remove

it by pushing the end of the Spindle and Gear Set [2].

Important: A gear, once removed, cannot be used again

because it no longer engages. It must be

replaced by a new Spindle and Gear Set [2].
