*3 When the 0 voltage re-start protection feature has been
activated, return the power switch to the OFF position
and wait for 1 second or more before restarting the
power tool.
*4 Grinding angle and grinding method
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the workpiece
does not become too hot.
Rough grinding: position the machine at an angle of
15°–30° for the best working results.
When the grinding stone is new, its corner may dig in
when it is pushed forward, so pull back during use.
(Fig. 10-a)
Once the wheel edge is worn, the workpiece can be
ground in both directions. (Fig. 10-b)
*5 Cutting work
Always work against the run of the disc. Otherwise there
is the danger of the machine kicking back from the cut
out of control. Guide the machine evenly at a speed
suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt,
apply excessive force or sway from side to side.

WARNING
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug
from the receptacle during maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the depressed center wheel

5. Maintenance of the motor
WARNING
Always wear protective goggles and dust respirators
when blowing air from the tail cover air hole with the use
of an air gun, etc.
Failure to observe this may result in ejected dust being
inhaled or entering your eyes.
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become
damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
NOTE
When work has been fi nished, blow air containing no
moisture from the tail cover air hole with the use of an
air gun, etc., while running the motor without any load
applied. This is eff ective in removing any dirt and dust
that has accumulated. Dirt and dust collecting inside the
motor may result in malfunctions.
