CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a
long time, the motor will get overloaded and heated up.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5
and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed
adjusting function may no longer work.
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
Electronic function
Constant speed control
• Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed
is kept constantly even under the loaded condition.
• Additionally, when the load on the tool exceeds admis-
sible levels, power to the motor is reduced to protect
the motor from overheating. When the load returns to
admissible levels, the tool will operate as normal.
Soft start feature
• Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing side grip (handle) (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the side grip is installed securely
before operation.
Screw the side grip securely on the position of the tool as
shown in the figure.
Installing or removing wheel guard
(For depressed center wheel, multi disc /
abrasive cut-off wheel, diamond wheel)
CAUTION:
• The wheel guard must be fitted on the tool so that the
closed side of the guard always points toward the oper-
ator.

For tool with locking screw type wheel guard (Fig. 5)
Mount the wheel guard with the protrusion on the wheel
guard band aligned with the notch on the bearing box.
Then rotate the wheel guard around 180 degrees coun-
terclockwise. Be sure to tighten the screw securely.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation procedure
in reverse.
For tool with clamp lever type wheel guard
(Fig. 6 & 7)
Pull the lever in the direction of the arrow after loosening
the screw. Mount the wheel guard with the protrusion on
the wheel guard band aligned with the notch on the bear-
ing box. Then rotate the wheel guard around 180°. Fas-
ten it with the screw after pulling lever in the direction of
the arrow for the working purpose. The setting angle of
the wheel guard can be adjusted with the lever.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation procedure
in reverse.
Installing or removing depressed center grinding
wheel/Multi-disc (accessory)
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel/
disc on the inner flange and screw the lock nut onto the
spindle. (Fig. 8)
To tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that
the spindle cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench
and securely tighten clockwise. To remove the wheel, fol-
low the installation procedure in reverse. (Fig. 9)

OPERATION

WARNING:
• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing
and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel
breakage.
• ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while grind-
ing.
• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto work.
• Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially
when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can
cause loss of control and kickback.
• NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other
sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder fre-
quently kick and cause loss of control leading to per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION:
• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until
the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting
the tool down.
Grinding and sanding operation (Fig. 10)
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing
and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and
then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle
of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work
the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the work-
piece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded off
by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B direc-
tion.
