I bought this saw in April this year and found it to be quite easy :cool: to assemble and operate. Along with being quiet and very strong, the cuts are so fine that often I can glue joints w/o sanding or jointing. This includes crosscutting lumber core plywood (birch, maple). The C10FL is listed on Hitachi's powertool site:
Put C10FL in the site search window and you will see the listing.
Hope the link helps you! :)
