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.
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.

4. Fitting and adjusting the wheel guard
The wheel guard is a protective device to prevent
injury should the depressed center wheel be
shattered during operation. Ensure that the wheel
guard is properly fitted and fastened before
commencing grinding operation.
[How to attach and adjust the wheel guard](Fig. 2)
Set the wheel ass'y to the packing gland.
Tighten M5 screw to secure the wheel guard while
the lever is in closed position.
Perform the adjustment of the wheel guard while
the lever is released. (Loosen M5 screw and readjust
if the wheel guard does not rotate smoothly.)
After adjustment, if grinder operation is required,
perform the operation only after setting the lever
in closed position.
Lubricate the sliding section of the set piece (B) and
the lever if the lever does not move smoothly.
5. Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
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"
Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided
with the bonded abrasive product and when they
are required.
Do not use separate reducing bushings or adaptors
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.
Do not use cutting off wheel for side grinding.
