Assembling And Disassembling The Depressed Center Wheel; Maintenance And Inspection - Hitachi G 18SH Handling Instructions Manual

English
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 finishing 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:
When the machine is not in 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.
(4) Screw the wheel nut onto the spindle.
(For diamond wheel assembling, use the wheel nut
with the convex side against the diamond wheel.)
(5) Insert the push button to prevent rotation of the
spindle, and tighten the wheel nut with the accessory
wrench, as shown in Fig.1.
2. Disassembling
Follow the above procedures in reverse.
CAUTIONS:
Comfirm that the depressed center wheel is mounted
firmly.
Confirm 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 (Fig. 3)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts.
When they become worn to or near the "wear
limit", it could result in motor trouble. When an
auto-stop carbon brush is equipped, the motor will
stop automatically.
22
At that time, replace both carbon brushes with new
ones which have the same carbon brush numbers
shown in the figure. In addition, always keep carbon
brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely
within the brush holders.
4. Replacing a carbon brush
Disassemble the brush cap with a slotted-head
screwdriver. The carbon brush can then be easily
removed.
5. Maintenance of the motor
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.
