FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the

tool.

Switch action (Fig. 1)

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that

the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the

“OFF” position when released.

For tool with the lock-on switch

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger (A).

Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous

operation, pull the switch trigger (A) and then push in the

lock lever (B). To stop the tool from the locked position,

pull the switch trigger (A) fully, then release it.

For tool with the lock-off switch

To prevent the switch trigger from accidentally pulled, a

lock lever is provided. To start the tool, push in the lock

lever (B) and then pull the switch trigger (A). Release the

switch trigger to stop.

For tool with the lock on and lock-off switch

To prevent the switch trigger from accidentally pulled, a

lock lever is provided. To start the tool, push in the lock

lever (B) and then pull the switch trigger (A). Release the

switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, push in

the lock lever (B), pull the switch trigger (A) and then push

in the lock lever (B) further. To stop the tool from the

locked position, pull the switch trigger (A) fully, then

release it.

Electronic function

Constant speed control

• Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed

is kept constantly even under the loaded condition.

• Additionally, when the load on the tool exceeds

admissible levels, power to the motor is reduced to

protect the motor from overheating. When the load

returns to admissible levels, the tool will operate as

normal.

Soft start feature

• Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.

Indication lamp (Fig. 2)

The indication lamp lights up green when the tool is

plugged. If the indication lamp does not light up, the mains

cord or the controller may be defective. The indication

lamp is lit but the tool does not start even if the tool is

switched on, the carbon brushes may be worn out, or the

controller, the motor or the ON/OFF switch may be

defective.

Unintentional restart proof

Even lock lever keeping the switch trigger depressed

(Lock-on position) does not allow the tool to restart even

when the tool is plugged.

At this time, the indication lamp flickers red and shows the

unintentional restart proof device is on function.

To cancel the unintentional restart proof, pull the switch

trigger fully, then release it.

Level planing (for PC5001C only) (Fig. 3)

To level a surface, the base of the planer should be

aligned with the diamond wheel. The front roller should be

adjusted (use hex wrench) upward to the level required for

the desired stock removal amount.

To change the amount of stock (concrete) removed,

loosen the hex socket head bolts on the base holder with

the hex wrench. Raise or lower the front roller to adjust

the gap between it and the diamond wheel. The difference

is the stock removal amount. Then secure the hex socket

head bolts very carefully. (Fig. 4)

NOTE:

• Maximum stock removal should be less than 4.0 mm.

Tilting base for smoother planing (for

PC5001C only) (Fig. 5)

For smooth removal of a given surface roughness or

texture, tilting the base is helpful. Use the hex wrench to

loosen the two hex socket head bolts securing the base

on either side.

Use a hex wrench to lower the three hex socket head

bolts on the base by turning them on the base clockwise.

(Fig. 6)

Use a square or ruler to obtain the desired base angle in

relation to the diamond wheel. Then secure carefully the

hex socket head bolts on either side of the base. Adjust

center of base near wheel so that it is on the same level

as the wheel. (Fig. 7)

NOTE:

• After base adjustment, turn the three hex socket head

bolts on the base counterclockwise until the heads are

flush with the back side of the base. Turn gently or

base adjustment will be thrown off.

Base adjustment to compensate for wheel

wear (for PC5001C only)

With long use, the diamond wheel will wear and thus

create a gap with the planing surface so that performance
