1. Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle

Connecting the power cord will turn on the charger.

2. Insert the battery into the charger

Insert the battery firmly while observing its direction,

until it contacts the bottom of the charger (the pilot

lamp lights up).

CAUTION

If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the

power cord from the receptacle and check the

battery mounting condition.

The pilot lamp goes off to indicate that the battery

is fully charged.

The battery charging time becomes longer when

a temperature is low or the voltage of the power

source is too low.

When the pilot lamp does not go off even if more

than 120 minutes have elapsed after starting of the

charging, stop the charging and contact your

HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

CAUTION

If the battery is heated due to direct sunlight,

etc., just after operation, the charger pilot lamp

may not light up. At that time, cool the battery

first, then start charging.

3. Disconnect the charger power cord from the

receptacle

4. Hold the charger tight and pull out the battery

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries,

etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries

and batteries that have not been used for an

extended period is not activated, the electric

discharge might be low when using them the first

and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon,

and normal time required for recharging will be

restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer

(1) Recharge the batteries before they become

completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes

weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.

If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the

electric current, the battery may be damaged and

its life will become shorter.

(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after

use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after

use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,

and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the

battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a

while.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Preparing and checking the work environment

Make sure that the work site meets all the conditions

laid forth in the precautions.

2. Checking the battery

Make sure that the battery is installed firmly. If it

is at all loose it could come off and cause an

accident.

3. Fitting and adjusting the wheel guard

The wheel guard is a protective device to prevent

injury should the depressed center wheel shatter

during operation. Ensure that the guard is properly

fitted and fastened before commencing grinding

operation. By slightly loosening the setting screw,

the wheel guard can be turned and set at any

desired angle for maximum operational

effectiveness. Ensure that the setting screw is

thoroughly tightened after adjusting the wheel guard.

4. 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 “ASSEMBLING

AND DISASSEMBLING THE DEPRESSED CENTER

WHEEL”

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.

5. Conducting a trial run

Ensure that the abrasive products is correctly

mounted and tightened before use and run the tool

at no-load for 30 seconds in a safe position, stop

immediately if there is considerable vibration or if

other defects are detected.

If this condition occurs, check the machine to

determine the cause.

6. Confirm the push button.

Confirm that the push button is disengaged by

pushing push button two or three times before

switching the power tool on (See Fig. 2).

7. Fixing the side handle.

Screw the side handle into the gear cover.

PRACTICAL GRINDER APPLICATION

1. Pressure

To prolong the life of the machine and ensure a

first class finish, it is important that the machine

should not be overloaded by applying too much

pressure. In most applications, the weight of the

machine alone is sufficient for effective grinding.

Too much pressure will result in reduced rotational

speed, inferior surface finish, and overloading which

could reduce the life of the machine.

2. Grinding angle

Do not apply the entire surface of the depressed

center wheel to the material to be ground. As

shown in Fig. 1, the machine should be held at an

angle of 15° – 30° so that the external edge of the

depressed center wheel contacts the material at an

optimum angle.

3. To prevent a new depressed center wheel from

digging into the workpiece, initial grinding should

be performed by drawing the grinder across the

workpiece toward the operator (Fig. 1 direction B).
