GENERAL OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! When using electric tools, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including
the following.
Read all these instructions before operating this product
and save these instructions.
For safe operations:
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose
power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in
damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit.
Do not use power tools where there is risk to cause

moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless otherwise indicated in this
handling instructions. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center. Do not
use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
21. Warning
The use of any accessory or attachment, other than
those recommended in this handling instructions,
may present a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.

PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If
the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
4. Installing a wheel
Install the wheel so that length is less than 15 mm.
If is longer, abnormal vibration will occur, and the
machine is not only negatively affected, but there is a
possibility of a serious accident.
Make the as small as possible.
When d = 6 mm, 6.35 mm (1/4”), 8 mm, D of the
wheel should be less than 25 mm. If a wheel with D
more than 25 mm is used, the circumference speed
exceeds the safety limit and the wheel will break.
Never use such a wheel.
Distance L varies for D. Determine L referring to the
table below.
When d = 3 mm, 3.175 mm (1/8”), D should be less
than 10 mm. Determine L referring to the table below.
Wheels can be simply attached and detached by
using the two wrenches (Fig. 2).
NOTE
䡬 Do not tighten the collet chuck by inserting a shaft
thinner than the regular shaft diameter (6 mm) in the
chuck or in an empty condition. This practice will
damage the collet chuck.
䡬 When installing a wheel with shaft, tighten the collet
chuck after applying a small quantity of spindle oil
(or sewing machine oil) to the tapered portion
indicated in Fig. 1.

HOW TO USE
1. Switching operation
(1) When moving the switch lever to the right (ON side),
power is applied; when moving it to the left (OFF
side), power is switched off.
(2) When first turning on the switch after installing a
new wheel, hold the grider away from your body to
avoid any danger of a wheel shattering due to an
imperfection.
(3) Before starting, test the machine with the wheel
pointed in a safe direction.
2. Precautions on operation
(1) Lightly press the wheel to the material to be ground.
When grinding materials, high-speed revolution is
necessary. Use a hand grinder with high-speed
revolution, minimizing the pressing force.
(2) Dressing the wheel
After attaching a wheel, correct deflection of the wheel
center by using a dresser. If the wheel center is
eccentric, not only precise finishing cannot be
achieved but also grinder vibration increases,
lowering grinder accuracy and durability.
A clogged or worn wheel will spoil the finishing
surface or lower grinding efficiency. Occasionally
dress the wheel by applying the dresser.
WHEEL SELECTING METHOD
Types of wheels are varied according to the materials to
be ground. Select a wheel appropriate for the material to
be ground.
The following table is an out line of wheels and materials
to be ground.
Materials to be ground Grain Grading
Bonding degree
Structure Bonding agent
Mild steel, hard steel,
WA 60 ~ 80 P m V
forged steel
Cast iron C 36 M - O m V
Brass, bronze, aluminium C 36 J - K m V
Ceramic WA 60 ~ 80 M m V
Synthetic resin C 36 K - M m V
Small-scaled wheels with shaft are prepared for grinding
small surfaces. Their dimensions and shapes are shown
in “OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES”.
Since wheel shaft diameter is 3 mm, use the collet chuck
for 3 mm shaft sold separately by your HITACHI dealer
as an optional accessory.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the wheel
Ensure that the wheel is free of cracks and surface
defects.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
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.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 3)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brushes with new ones having the same carbon brush
No. shown in the figure when it becomes worn to or
near the “wear limit”. In addition, always keep carbon
brushes clean and ensue that they slide freely within
the brush holders.
5. Replacing carbon brushes
Disassemble the brush caps with a slotted-head
screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily
removed.
