STANDARD ACCESSORIES
(1) Wrench .........................................................................1
(2) Side handle ...................................................................1
Depressed center wheels are not provided as standard
accessories.
Standard accessories are subject to change without
notice.
APPLICATIONS
○ Removal of casting fi n and fi nishing of various types of
steel, bronze and aluminum materials and castings.
○ Grinding of welded sections or sections cut by means of
a cutting torch.
○ Grinding of synthetic resins, slate, brick, marble, etc.
○ Cutting of synthetic concrete, stone, brick, marble and
similar materials.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the
plug is connected to a receptacle while the power switch
is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating
immediately, which could cause a serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power source,
use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
4. Fitting and adjusting the wheel guard (Fig. 1)
The wheel guard is a protective device to prevent injury
should the depressed center wheel shatter during
operation. Ensure that the guard is properly fi tted and
fastened before commencing grinding operation.
By slightly loosening the setting screw, the wheel guard
can be turned and set at any desired angle for maximum
operational eff ectiveness. Ensure that the setting screw
is thoroughly tightened after adjusting the wheel guard.
CAUTION
When using a abrasive cutting wheel, be sure to remove
the standard accessory wheel guard and attach the
wheel guard with side guard (sold separately).
5. Ensure that the depressed center wheel to be utilized is
the correct type and free of cracks or surface defects.
Also ensure that the depressed center wheel is properly
mounted and the wheel nut is securely tightened. Refer
to the section on "ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING
THE DEPRESSED CENTER WHEEL".
6. Conducting a trial run
Ensure that the abrasive products is correctly mounted
and tightened before use and run the tool at no-load for
30 seconds in a safe position, stop immediately if there is
considerable vibration or if other defects are detected.
If this condition occurs, check the machine to determine
the cause.
7. Confi rm the spindle lock mechanism
Confi rm that the spindle lock is disengaged by pushing
push button two or three times before switching the
power tool on (see Fig. 1).
8. Fixing the side handle
Screw the side handle into the gear cover.

PRACTICAL GRINDER APPLICATION
1. Pressure
To prolong the life of the machine and ensure a fi rst
class fi nish, it is important that the machine should not
be overloaded by applying too much pressure. In most
applications, the weight of the machine alone is suffi cient
for eff ective grinding. Too much pressure will result in
reduced rotational speed, inferior surface fi nish, and
overloading which could reduce the life of the machine.
2. Grinding angle
Do not apply the entire surface of the depressed center
wheel to the material to be ground. As shown in Fig. 2,
the machine should be held at an angle of 15° – 30° so
that the external edge of the depressed center wheel
contacts the material at an optimum angle.
3. To prevent a new depressed center wheel from digging
into the workpiece, initial grinding should be performed
by drawing the grinder across the workpiece toward the
operator (Fig. 2 direction B). Once the leading edge of
the depressed center wheel is properly abraded, grinding
may be conducted in either direction.
4. Switch operation
Switch ON:
Push the locking button forward and then
press the switch lever.
* For continuous use, press the switch
lever. The switch lever is locked by
pushing the locking button forward once
again.
(*Subject to change depending on area.)
Switch OFF: Press and release the switch lever.
5. Precautions immediately after fi nishing operation
After switching off the machine, do not put it down until
the depressed center wheel has come to a complete stop.
Apart from avoiding serious accidents, this precaution
will reduce the amount of dust and swarf sucked into the
machine.
CAUTION
○ Check that the work piece is properly supported.
○ Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when
working in dusty conditions.
If it should become necessary to clear dust, fi rst
disconnect the tool from the mains supply (use non-
metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.
○ Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create
a hazard e.g. do not hit persons, or ignite fl ammable
substances.
○ Always use eye and ear protection.
Other personal protective equipment such as dust
mask, gloves, helmet and apron should be worn when
necessary.
If in doubt, wear the protective equipment.
○ When the machine is not use, the power source should
be disconnected.
ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING THE
DEPRESSED CENTER WHEEL
CAUTION
Be sure to switch OFF and disconnect the attachment
plug from the receptacle to avoid a serious accident.
1. Assembling (Fig. 1)
(1) Turn the machine upside down so that the spindle is
facing upward.
(2) Mount the wheel washer onto the spindle.
(3) Fit the protruding part of the depressed center wheel or
diamond wheel onto the wheel washer.
