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. 1,
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. 1 direction B).
Once the leading edge of the depressed center wheel is
properly abraded, grinding may be conducted in either
direction.
4. Precautions immediately after fi nishing operation
The wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched
off .
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-
metalic 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 (Fig. 2)
CAUTION
Be sure to switch OFF and disconnect the attachment
plug from the receptacle to avoid a serious accident.
1. Assembling (Fig. 2)
(1) Turn the disc grinder upside down so that the spindle is
facing upward.
(2) Align the across fl ats of the wheel washer with the
notched part of the spindle, then attach them.
(3) Fit the protuberance of the depressed center wheel onto
the wheel washer.
(4) Screw the wheel nut onto the spindle.
(5) While pushing the push button with one hand, lock the
spindle by turning the depressed center wheel slowly
with the other hand.
Tighten the wheel nut by using the supplied wrench as
shown in Fig. 2.

2. Disassembling
Follow the above procedures in reverse.
CAUTION
○ Confi rm that the depressed center wheel is mounted
fi rmly.
○ Confi rm that the push button is disengaged by pushing
push button two or three times before switching the
power tool on.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the depressed center wheel
Ensure that the depressed center wheel is free of cracks
and surface defects.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
3. Inspecting the carbon brushes
For your continued safety and electrical shock protection,
carbon brush inspection and replacement on this tool
should ONLY be performed by a HiKOKI Authorized
Service Center.
4. Replacing supply cord
If the supply cord of Tool is damaged, the Tool must be
return the cord to HiKOKI Authorized Service Center for
the cord to be replaced.
5. Maintenance of the motor
WARNING
Always wear protective goggles and dust respirators
when blowing air from the tail cover air hole with the use
of an air gun, etc.
Failure to observe this may result in ejected dust being
inhaled or entering your eyes.
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become
damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
NOTE
When work has been fi nished, blow air containing no
moisture from the tail cover air hole with the use of an
air gun, etc., while running the motor without any load
applied. This is eff ective in removing any dirt and dust
that has accumulated. Dirt and dust collecting inside the
motor may result in malfunctions.
6. Service parts list
CAUTION
Repair, modifi cation and inspection of HiKOKI Power
Tools must be carried out by a HiKOKI Authorized
Service Center.
This Parts List will be helpful if presented with the tool to
the HiKOKI Authorized Service Center when requesting
repair or other maintenance.
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
MODIFICATIONS
HiKOKI Power Tools are constantly being improved
and modifi ed to incorporate the latest technological
advancements.
Accordingly, some parts may be changed without prior
notice.
NOTE
Due to HiKOKI's continuing program of research and
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to
