Hitachi Introduces Several Versions of its Latest 12 Inch Compound Miter Saw



NORCROSS, GA., January 31, 2005 - Hitachi Power Tools today announced two new additions to their 12" compound miter saw line up. The new C12LC and C12FCH each incorporate one of the major features of their sister saw, the C12LCH released in September 2004, which features a revolutionary LCD display and laser marker.

Hitachi's C12LC 12" compound miter saw includes the revolutionary digital LCD display to view miter and bevel readings, guaranteeing precision and accuracy. The LCD scale, located at the front of the saw above the miter scale adjustment knob, allows the user to quickly and accurately set both the bevel and miter angles. A backlight button can be activated on the scale to improve visibility when working in dimly lit areas.

The C12FCH 12" compound miter saw features a laser marker that indicates where the blade will cut on the material and can be adjusted to the right or left depending on the user's preference.

Both the C12LC and C12FCH are powered by a 15Amp motor with 1,950 Watts of Max Output Power to smoothly cut through hardwoods with ease. A pivoting aluminum fence that stands at a height of 5-1/8" allows crown molding to be cut vertically. The miter ranges from 0-52 degrees, both to the right and left, for a broader range of cuts. Miter angles can be quickly adjusted using Hitachi's thumb actuated positive stops. An elastomer grip covers the saw's horizontal handle. This reduces vibration, while adding comfort and preventing slippage. The large base provides better support and balance to prevent material warping. An externally accessible carbon brush makes for quick and easy changes.

Hitachi's new line of 12" compound miter saws reflect the aggressive new ergonomic design being implemented by Hitachi Power Tools. Hitachi is pioneering yet another new trend in the industry- tools that incorporate the latest technology to improve performance and reliability with ergonomic design- that will modernize the traditional workshop or jobsite.

The C12LC and C12FCH come complete with a 12" TCT Saw blade, dust bag, vise assembly, box wrench and hex bar wrench. They are the ideal 12" compound miter saws for trim carpenters, framers and woodworkers who demand precision and reliability. Both are compatible with Hitachi's Universal workstation.
