Question: Hitachi Compound Saw Brake Failu...

721486

I have a C8F miter saw with a non functioning blade brake. Is it repairable? I just put a new switch in the unit. That didn't do it.

Hello 721486,

I know of three parts that control the brake on a Hitachi C8FB Slide Compound Saw. They would be the 998-839 Switch. The 999-043 Brushes, if they are too short the brake will not work as it should. Or it could be the 340-108G Stator Assembly, the small brake windings maybe shorted or burnt.

Question: Switch

Hello flyingfisher,

If you click on the parts diagram for the Hitachi C8FB below. Then on the first page of that parts diagram click on Download Diagram. The last page of that diagram has a wiring schematic for the 998-839 Switch.

Question: Hitachi C8FB2

1186015

any substitutes for the discontinued plastic sliding fence assembly?

Hello 1186015,

The actual part number for the slide fence assembly is 310-657. And it is available. The part number 310-857 in incorrect. I will have this fixed in our system. And thank you for bring this to our attention.

-WJA

I noted WJA's answer to 1186015's inquiry into a replacement plastic sliding fence assembly. This was back in August of 2013 and even then the parts were listed somewhere as discontinued even though WJA said they were indeed available. I too am seeking a replacement for a C8FB2 saw of my own which is otherwise in excellent condition. Maybe I will be as fortunate as 1186015?- RG

Question: Hitachi C8FB2 Motor Noise

Camaro2011

I have a saw that makes a noise when starting it up, while running all the way through to shut off. It sounds like the electric brake is engaged the whole time rather than just at shut off. Any suggestions? Also do you know what part I would need to replace? I see parts are getting hard to find thanks for the help...appreciate it!

Hi Camaro2011,
Sounds like you might have a armature bearing going bad.The bearing on the armature can be worn enough that the armature is spinning off center of its axes enough to allow it to rub on the field.The the cause could be worn armature gear causing a sound in the gear reduction housing.Hope this helps.good luck.

Question: Hitachi C8FB2 Motor Problems

910171

My beloved Hitachi C8FB2 saw had sat dormant in my mother's garage for many years. Moving to a new house, I finally had some room in the garage to clean it up and give it a proper bench to work off of. I ordered new bushings, as well as a new switch from this website. I removed the old bushings, replaced them with the new ones and then replaced the switch. I now have a new problem. When plugged in, the saw makes a humming sounds, similar to an electric "brown out", but it will turn when the switch is activated. I thought I might have goofed on the polarity, but much to my surprise, if I reverse it, the saw runs anytime it is plugged in. I'm guessing the starter capacitor needs replaced, but failing that, I would appreciate any help offered!

Hi, The C8FB2 doesn't have a starter capacitor as it has a gear reduction unit in it and doesn't need one.I do believe you have the wiring hooked up wrong and have it hooked up so as to when the switch is turned on its also activating the motor brake.This is the humming you link removed Hitachi and see if they can email you the wiring chart for the tool.Good luck.

Question: Positive Stops

Robert

It seems my positive stops are a little sloppy and loose. How do I re-calibrate or tighten them up?

I am having a similar problem, or maybe the same one. When I try to go to one of my presets ie. 90, 45, etc. My saw used to lock in and stay put now I am finding that after I go to one of my presets and lock in I can still move my blade a degree or even more and my preset is no longer a good lock and I have got to use my square every time to set the angle. Up until recently, when I went to a preset, it was perfect and my blade would stay locked in now it is sloppy. What can I do to fix this problem?

Hello,

A simple fix might be just replacing the spring and ball, the spring can lose its tension and the ball can wear after a while. Here is a link to the part numbers, spring, and ball. While you are there and you have the machine apart, clean the indents in the base assembly they can become pitted and dirty. You also want to replace the liner, here is a link to that part number, liner. This also will wear and make it harder to move the saw head.

Hope this helps,
WJA
