7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION

In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models G 13YD and G 13V Electronic Disc

Grinders by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale, the salesperson carefully ensures that

the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Handling Instructions, and fully understands

the meaning of the precautions listed on the Name Plate or Caution Plate attached to each tool.

Although every effort is made in each step of design, manufacture and inspection to provide protection against

safety hazards, the dangers inherent in the use of any electric power tool cannot be completely eliminated.

Accordingly, general precautions and suggestions for the use of electric power tools, and specific precautions and

suggestions for the use of the disc grinders are listed in the Handling Instructions to enhance the safe and efficient

use of the tool by the customer. Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar with the contents of the Handling

Instructions to be able to offer appropriate guidance to the customer during sales promotion.

(1) Check the power source voltage:

Ensure that the power source voltage conforms with the power specifications listed on the Name Plate.

Never operate the Models G 13YD and G 13V on a direct current (DC) power source. The control circuit in

this tool functions through a phase-control system utilizing a triac, and will not function if DC power is applied.

Subsequent uncontrolled increase of motor rotation speed could be extremely hazardous.

Each tool is provided with a Name Plate which contains the following basic safety precautions in the use of the

tool.

(1) The wheel guard must be aligned in relation to the side handle mounting position.

As illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5, the customer should be instructed that the wheel guard mounting angle must be

aligned and fixed in accordance with the side handle mounting position so that the operator's hand will not

contact the depressed center wheel.
