008415
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
•
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of
•
operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking tool in "ON" position and
maintain firm grasp on tool.
To prevent the switch trigger from accidentally pulled, a
lock lever is provided. To start the tool, push in the lock
lever (B) and then pull the switch trigger (A). Release the
switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, push in
the lock lever (B), pull the switch trigger (A) and then push
in the lock lever (B) further. To stop the tool from the locked
position, pull the switch trigger (A) fully, then release it.
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
•
admissible 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.

1. Indication lamp
The indication lamp lights up green when the tool is plugged.
If the indication lamp does not light up, the mains cord or the
controller may be defective. The indication lamp is lit but the
tool does not start even if the tool is switched on, the carbon
brushes may be worn out, or the controller, the motor or the
ON/OFF switch may be defective.
Unintentional restart proof
Even locking lever keeping the switch trigger depressed
(Lock-on position) does not allow the tool to restart even
when the tool is plugged.
At this time, the indication lamp flickers red and shows
the unintentional restart proof device is on function.
To cancel the unintentional restart proof, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
Level planing (for PC5001C only)

009847
To level a surface, the base of the planer should be
aligned with the diamond wheel. The front roller should
be adjusted (use hex wrench) upward to the level
required for the desired stock removal amount.
To change the amount of stock (concrete) removed,
loosen the hex socket head bolts on the base holder with
the hex wrench. Raise or lower the front roller to adjust
the gap between it and the diamond wheel. The
difference is the stock removal amount. Then secure the
hex socket head bolts very carefully.

Tilting base for smoother planing
(for PC5001C only)
For smooth removal of a given surface roughness or
texture, tilting the base is helpful. Use the hex wrench to
loosen the two hex socket head bolts securing the base
on either side.
