PRECAUTIONS ON USING DISC GRINDER

1.Never operate these power tools without Wheel Guards.

2.Check that speed marked on the wheel is equal to or greater than the rated speed of the grinder. Use only depressed center wheels rated at 80m/s or more.

3.Ensure that the wheel dimensions are compatible with the grinder and that the wheel fits the spindle.

4.Abrasive wheels shall be stored and handled with care in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

5.Inspect the depressed center wheel before use, do not use chipped, cracked or otherwise defective products.

6.Always hold the body handle and side handle of the power tool firmly. Otherwise the counterforce produced may result in inaccurate and even dangerous operation.

7.Do not use cutting-off wheels for side grinding.

8.Do not use of separate reducing bushings or adapters to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.

9.The wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.

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.

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.Fitting and adjusting the wheel guard

The wheel guard is a protective device to prevent injury should the depressed center wheel shatter during operation. Ensure that the guard is properly

fitted and fastened before commencing grinding operation.

[Installing and adjusting the wheel guard]

￿Open the lever and insert the locating pin of wheel guard, bringing it into line with the across flats of packing ground.

￿Then, turn the wheel guard to a desired position (for use).

￿Close the lever and fix it. If and when required, carry out adjustments by tightening or loosening the screw.

￿If the lever does not move smoothly, apply some lubricating oil to the sliding section between the set piece and the lever.

￿Fasten the wheel guard at the position where the

across flats of the wheel guard positioning pin and packing ground are aligned (the position where the wheel guard is inserted), but do not use it.

5.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, refer to the section on “Depressed Center Wheel Assembly”.
