2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE

There is an increasing demand for a disc grinder equipped with a vibration absorbing mechanism to comply with
the EU Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive (enforced in July 2005) in European markets. To meet the demand,
we introduce the new 180/230 mm disc grinders Models G 18SCY, G 18SEY, G 23SCY and G 23SEY. They are
low-vibration disc grinders thanks to the vibration-absorbing side handle and main handle (switch handle). In
addition, we introduce the new 180/230 mm disc grinders Models G 18UAY, G 18UBY, G 23UAY and G 23UBY
equipped with the soft-start function.
The key features of the new G 23SCY series are as follows (comparison with the current G 23SC3 series):
1) Vibration absorbing main handle and side handle
2) Prolonged service life of the carbon brushes
3) Class-top overload durability
4) Low gear sound
5) Aggressive design
Vigorous sales promotion of Hitachi disc grinders is anticipated with the introduction of the new G 23SCY series.
