Espert 500
OPERATION MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing Espert 500. This is a high-precision, extremely high speed micromotor rotary hand tool
system. This system is designed for high-precision, small diameter deburring, grinding and a wide variety of other
applications.
Keep this Operation Manual near Espert 500 system for any operators to refer to whenever operating this system.
Please read this Operation Manual carefully prior to use.
Cautions for handling and operation
Read these cautions carefully and only use in the manner intended.
Safety instructions are intended to avoid potential hazards that could result in personal injury or damage to
the device. Safety instructions are classified as follows in accordance with the seriousness of the risk.
Class
A hazard that could result in bodily injury or damage to the device if the safety instructions are not
WARNING
followed.
A hazard that could result in light or moderate bodily injury or damage to the device if the safety
CAUTION
instructions are not followed.
NOTICE
General information needed to operate the device safely.
A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt
as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
(120V) This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A in Figure (below).
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in figure (below). A temporary adapter, which looks
 
like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if
a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, Iug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
Note : Adopter (Figure B) not for use in Canada.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. Table (below) shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

B. OTHER WARNING INSTRUCTIONS
Always wear cap, gloves, Iong sleeve shirt, safety glasses and hearing protection anytime this device is in use.
Do Not Touch the attachment or motor when the system is operating.
This is a high torque system and burs can grab on the workpiece. Always wear gloves to prevent injury anytime you are using
this system. Grinding and deburring produces lots of chips and other dust, keep work are clean and put away items that can be
damaged by chips, sand or other contaminants.
Check that the collet has been securely tightened prior to each use. Burs can fly loose from the chuck and injure operator or
anyone nearby.
Avoid applying heavy hand pressure during operation; Iet the tool do the work. Heavy force can bend or break bur shanks which
can injure operator or anyone nearby. If the motor slows down noticeably during operation, you are applying too much pressure;
this type of operation will shorten motor, attachment and tool life and dramatically reduce productivity.
Do not use bent, broken, cracked or damaged tools, or tools with excessive runout. When using tools with a very large head to
shank diameter ratio sudden speed increases can bend or break shank. When using a new or large tool, rotate it at low speed
and increase speed gradually for safety.
Always operate tools within the tool manufacturer's recommended speed limits. Use of a tool outside of the manufacturer's
recommended speed limits could cause damage to the spindle and injury to the operator. A foot pedal can be used to vary
speed.
Do not hit or drop the attachment or motor because the shock can damage internal components. Always set the control unit on a
flat, hard, steady surface.
If the control unit, motor or attachment emit smoke, burning plastic odor or any other unusual odor, please immediately turn off
the power switch, disconnect the power cord and send to NAKANISHI for service.
Never attempt to operate this system, touch power cord or switch unit on or off, etc. with wet hands. Failure to adhere to this
warning can result in severe electric shock.
Do not exceed 13mm overhang for mounted grindstones. In case overhang must exceed 13mm reduce the motor speed in
accordance with Table 1 .

C. CAUTION

can short out and there is danger of electric shock.
This system is not approved for use in flammable or explosive environments or with flammable or explosive materials.
Never oil the bearings. This attachment is assembled with permanently greased bearings.
Please check the motor and handpiece prior to each use for vibration, abnormal noises, heat, and rough or stiff rotation. If any of
the above conditions are beyond acceptable limits, please send the system to NAKANISHI for service.
Never move the Chuck Control Ring to Open while the motor is running, the motor and attachment will be damaged. Only
change tool with the motor completely stopped.
When using large cutting tools, tools with a head diameter larger than 4mm rotate the motor and attachment at slow speed. It is
very easy to bend and break large cutting tools at high rotation speeds.
If the motor protection circuit repetitively activates and stops the motor, you are using too much force. Please use less hand force
and continue the operation. Heavy handed usage will result in dramatically shortened motor, attachment and tool life.
please clean the chuck and spindle center shaft weekly as failure to do this can cause contaminants to build up in the chuck and
increase runout or reduce the clamping strength of the chuck.
D. NOTICE
Do not tighten the collet without mounting a cutting tool or dummy bur as this will result in damage to the collet and spindle.
Don't use pencils, pens or other sharp objects on the Front Panel buttons.
User is solely responsible for maintaining control of operation, maintenance and periodic inspection of the system.
