–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.

Electronic Control

The grinder has an electronic speed control which provides:

￿full speed at all times in the range up to rated load.

￿soft-start.

￿variable speed (EXCEPT OF G13YF)

￿Kickback Protection

The kickback protection feature cuts off the power to the motor and stops the power tool in the event of a sudden drop in the rotational speed of the wheel during operation (for example, if the wheel locks during cutting operation, etc.).

￿0 Voltage Re-start Protection

The 0 voltage restart protection feature prevents the power tool from restarting after the power has been temporarily cut off during operation.

￿Overload Protection

The overload protection feature shuts off the power to the motor in the event of overloading of the

motor or a conspicuous reduction in rotational speed during operation.

NOTE

The grinder is equipped with a rotational speed control circuit. The rotational speed may fluctuate slightly due to the conditions of use and working voltage.

APPLICATIONS

￿Removal of casting fin and finishing of various types of steel, bronze and aluminum materials and castings.

￿Grinding of welded sections or sections cut by means of a cutting torch.

￿Grinding of synthetic resins, slate, brick, marble, etc.

￿Cutting of synthetic concrete, stone, brick, marble, and similar materials.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source

Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specified on the product nameplate.

NOTE

When connected to the power supply, the built-in electronic control circuit shifts to standby status and the grinder becomes slightly warm, but this is not

amalfunction.

CAUTION

Do not operate from a direct current power source, engine generator, booster or any other type of transformer. Doing so may not only cause damage to the grinder, but may lead to accidents.

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

aserious accident.

When the kickback protection, 0 voltage re-start protection or overload protection feature has been activated, return the power switch to the OFF position and wait for 1 second or more before re-starting the power tool.

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.
