GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the offposition before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
toolʼs operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
PRECAUTION

SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR GRINDING
OR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder
or cut-offtool. Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing or
polishing are not recommended to be performed
with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by
flanges, the arbour hole of accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange.
Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during
this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may
fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock
the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool
to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s
rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by
the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of
the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the
wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges
etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING
AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and the specific guard designed for
the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels
must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip.
An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power
tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from broken
wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-offwheel.
Abrasive cut-offwheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
f)
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for
the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC
FOR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) Do not “jam” the cut-offwheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving
away from your body, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch offthe power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-
offwheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool
is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
GRINDERS
– Check that speed marked on the wheel is equal to or
greater than the rated speed of the grinder;
– Ensure that the wheel dimensions are compatible with
the grinder;
– Abrasive wheels shall be stored and handled with care in
accordance with manufacturer’s instructions;
– Inspect the grinding wheel before use, do not use
chipped, cracked or otherwise defective products;
– Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions;
– Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided
with the bonded abrasive product and when they are
required;
– Ensure that the abrasive product 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;
– If a guard is equipped with the tool never use the tool
without such a guard;
– 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);
– Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole abrasive wheels;
– For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to
accept the spindle length;
– Check that the work piece is properly supported;
– Do not use cutting offwheel for side grinding;
– Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create
a hazard e.g. do not hit persons, or ignite flammable
substances;
– Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when
working in dusty conditions, if it should become
necessary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from
the mains supply (use non metallic objects) and avoid
damaging internal parts;
– Always use eye and ear protection. Other personal
protective equipment such as dust mask, gloves, helmet
and apron should be worn;
– Pay attention to the wheel that continues to rotate after
the tool is switched off.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
1. 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.
2. To prolong the life of the machine and ensure a first
class finish, 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 sufficient
for effective grinding. Too much pressure will result in
reduced rotational speed, inferior surface finish, and
overloading which could reduce the life of the machine.
3. The wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.
After switching offthe 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.
4. When the machine is not use, the power source should
be disconnected.

PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified 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 sufficient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
4. Confirming condition of the environment
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate
conditions conforming to prescribed precautions.
When grinding a thin steel plate, depending upon the
state of the workbench, a loud noise will be created due
to resounding noise from the steel plate being ground. To
eliminate unwanted noise in this instance, place a rubber
mat beneath the material to be ground.
5. Mounting the wheel guard
Be sure to mount the wheel guard at an angle that will
protect the operator’s body from injury by a broken wheel
piece.
6. Confirm the push button
Confirm that the push button is disengaged by pushing
push button two or three times before switching the
power tool on.

7. Confirming and mounting the depressed center
wheel.
Thoroughly check that a specified depressed center
wheel is free of cracks and splits is mounted.
Confirm that the depressed center wheel is mounted
under the specified condition and is firmly clamped.
For details, refer to the item “Assembling and
Disassembling the depressed center wheel”.
8. Fixing the side handle.
Screw the side handle into the gear cover. (As shown in
Fig. 1)
9. Apply a trial run
To start grinding work without checking for possible
cracks and splits in the depressed center wheel is very
dangerous. Prior to start of grinding, direct the grinder
in a direction where no one is present, and apply a trial
run without fail to confirm that the grinder displays no
abnormalities.
Duration of the trial run is as follows:
When depressed center wheels is replaced
............................................... 3 minutes or more
When starting daily work ................1 minute or more
PRACTICAL GRINDER APPLICATIONS
1. Since grinding by utilizing only the grinder’s own weight
is feasible, the grinder should never be pressed forcibly
against the plane to be ground Hold the grinder lightly so
that it only slightly contacts the plane to be ground.
Heavy pressure will reduce the revolving speed and
such deteriorate the finished surface, and phenomena as
overload will lead to burning out of the motor.
2. Do not utilize the grinder entire surface when grinding.
Use only its peripheral surface by tilting the wheel at an
angle of 15-30°, as shown in Fig. 2.
3. When a grinder equipped with a new depressed center
wheel is pushed forward (direction A), the wheel edge
may occasionally cut into the material to be ground.
Always pull it backward (direction B) in this instance.
However, once the depressed center wheel angle has
been adequately abraded, both forward and backward
operations are permissible.
4. The provided depressed center wheel (resinoid wheel) is
rated as Class A grain and #36 grain size.
Accordingly, its range of applications cover a wide
variety, proving to be most suitable for heavy grinding
of general steel materials. Since the wheel grain size
is rather coarse, creating a fine-surfaced finish is very
difficult.
In this instance, hold the grinder lightly as through trying
to lift it, and apply grinding slowly at a constant low
speed. Whereby a fine finish similar to that accomplished
with a fine-grain depressed center wheel is obtainable.
5. Switching on the grinder
The switch can be turned ON by turning its lever ON side,
or turn OFF by turning its lever to the OFF side.
6. Precaution after use
Do not lay the grinder down immediately after use in a
place where there are many shavings and much dirt and
dust until it has completely stopped revolving.
CAUTION
○Shock to the main body can be the cause of cracks or
splits in the depressed center wheel. Be especially careful
to avoid sudden shocks when using the equipment.
If the main unit is accidentally bumped or dropped, make
a careful check for cracks or splits on the depressed
center wheel before further use.
○Do not press the push button when the equipment is
turning. Also, do not turn on the switch when the push
button is pressed down.
ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING

and surface defects.
Replace the depressed center wheel when it has been
worn out to about 60mm in external diameter.
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. 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.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 7)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brush with a new one having the same carbon brush No.
shown in the figure when it becomes worn to or near the
“wear limit”. In addition, always keep carbon brushes
clean and ensure that they slide freely within the brush
holders.
5. Replacing carbon brushes
Disassemble the brush caps with a slotted-head
screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily
removed.
6. If the supply cord of this tool damaged, it must be
