Overview

The C8FSHE is very accurate right out of the box. The adjustable LED work light illuminates your work space, in order to provide a user with even better visibility.

Positive stops allow a user to make simple adjustment at the most common of angles; 15, 22.5, 31.6, and 45 degrees in both the left and right direction. Accuracy is added by the device’s linear ball bearing system as well as the saw’s pivoting fence.

The vertical handle the Hitachi C8FSHE comes with makes gripping easier and more comfortable. You can feel fewer vibrations through this elastomer grip, to prevent your hand from getting tired over long period of time.

The built in clamping system of this device holds all the material in place while the machine is in progress. A dust bah patiently awaits any saw dust and particles that will fall as a result of the sawing process. This miter saw is both durable and strong. It comes with a five year warranty.
