Equipped with four existing electronic controls + two most
advanced controls
These products are highly functional electronic disc grinders that provide added value and incorporate a
microcomputer with a new original program loaded in place of a conventional general-purpose IC, four fully
updated control features—(1) constant speed control, (2) soft-start speed control, (3) variable speed control
(on Models G 12VA, G 13VA and G 15VA), and (4) overload protection control—and two new additional
control features—(5) kickback protection control and (6) 0-voltage restart protection control.
1. Constant speed control
The constant speed control feature maintains constant rotation speed during operation to ensure highly
efficient work.
2. Soft-start speed control
The soft-start speed control feature reduces the reactive force generated at motor startup so as to lessen
the load on the operator's hands.
3. Variable speed control (G 12VA, G 13VA and G 15VA only)
The variable speed control feature selects an appropriate rotation speed for different applications to
ensure highly efficient work.
4. Overload protection control
The overload protection feature shuts off power to the motor in the event of motor overload or a
conspicuous reduction in rotation speed during operation. This feature thus reduces the risk of motor
burnout and controller failure.
5. Kickback protection control
The kickback protection feature cuts off power to the motor and stops the power tool in the event of a
sudden drop in wheel rotation speed during operation (e.g., wheel locking during cutting operation). This
feature thus lessens the load on the operator's hands.
6. 0-voltage restart protection control
The 0-voltage restart protection feature disables motor startup even with the main switch on when the
power cord is reconnected to the power outlet after being unplugged during operation or when the power
supply is recovered from power failure. This feature thus minimizes accidents due to motor restart.
Equipped with most powerful motor in its class
These products are equipped with a high-performance, powerful motor featuring the highest input and
output in its class to enable highly efficient work.

1. Safety Instructions
In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models G 12VA, G 13VA, G 13YF,
G 15VA and G 15YF Electronic Disc Grinders by all of our customers, it is very important that when
concluding a sale that the salesperson carefully ensure that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance
of the Handling Instructions, and fully understands the precautions listed on the Name Plate or Caution
Plate attached to each tool.
A. Handling instructions
Although every effort is made in each step of design, manufacture, and inspection to provide protection
against safety hazards, the dangers inherent in the use of any electric power tool cannot be completely
eliminated. Accordingly, the Handling Instructions list general precautions and suggestions on the use of
electric power tools, and specific precautions and suggestions on the use of the disc grinders in order to
enhance the safe, efficient use of the tools by the customer.
Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar with the contents of the Handling Instructions in order to offer
appropriate guidance to customers during sales promotion activities.
(1) Checking the power source voltage
Ensure that the power source voltage complies with the power specifications listed on the Name Plate.
Never operate the Models G 12VA, G 13VA, G 13YF, G 15VA and G 15YF using a direct current (DC)
power source. The control circuit in these tools functions through a phase-control system utilizing a triac,
and will not function under the application of DC power.
Any subsequently uncontrolled increase in motor rotation speed could be extremely hazardous.
Do not operate these tools from an engine generator, booster or any other type of transformer. Doing so
may not only damage the grinder, but may also lead to accidents.
NOTE: When the tool is connected to the power supply, the built-in electronic control circuit shifts
to standby status and the grinder becomes slightly warm, though not a malfunction.
B. Caution on Name Plate
Each tool is provided with a name plate that contains the following basic safety precautions on use of the
tool.
[For Europe]
[For New Zealand and Australia]
CAUTION
Read thoroughly read HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS before use.

2. Control Circuit Functions and Operation
(1) The control circuit generally consists of four components (see Fig. 1). The following describes the
function and operation of each circuit component:
(a) Rotation speed detector
The rotation speed detector generates a signal whose frequency is in proportion to the motor rotation
speed.
A magnetic sensor within the controller assembly detects flux changes due to the magnet built into
the rotor assembly, and generates the frequency signal.
(b) Variable resistor
The variable resistor applies a reference voltage to the microcomputer in order to determine the no-
load speed (reference rotation speed).
(c) Triac
A trigger signal from the microcomputer determines the conduction angle of the triac, according to
which voltage is applied to the motor.
(d) Microcomputer
Under program control, the microcomputer generates trigger signals to turn the triac on and off
according to frequency signals from the rotation speed detector, the reference rotation speed
specified by the variable resistor, and the on or off state of the main switch.
The microcomputer performs the following controls based on precise trigger signal control:
• Soft-start speed control: The microcomputer generates trigger signals so that the triac's conduction
angle is gradually increased until motor speed reaches the reference rotation speed.
• Constant speed control: The microcomputer generates trigger signals so that motor speed, even if
varied, approximates the reference rotation speed. In other words, the microcomputer enlarges the
triac's conduction angle to increase voltage applied to the motor when motor load increases,
thereby lowering the rotation speed. In this way, motor speed becomes closer to the reference
rotation speed.
• Overload protection control: For overload protection, the microcomputer issues a command to shut
off power to the motor when the motor is placed under a heavier load during operation or the triac's
conduction angle exceeds a preset limit, thereby significantly lowering the rotation speed below a
preset minimum rotation speed.
• Kickback protection control: For kickback protection, the microcomputer computes the drop in
rotation speed per a specified length of time when the tool attached to the grinder receives a load
large enough to immediately stop the tool's rotation during operation, and issues a command to
shut off power to the motor if this computed drop exceeds a preset drop limit.
• 0-voltage restart protection control: For 0-voltage restart protection, the microcomputer issues a
command to shut off power to the motor to disable motor restarting once power is restored after
being cut off, even if the main switch is on (since it detects the on and off states of the main
switch) .

3. Precautions on Usage
(1) Never press the pushing button while the depressed center wheel is rotating.
Pressing the pushing button during depressed center wheel rotation will immediately stop the spindle. In
such case, the wheel nut may become loose and the depressed center wheel could suddenly fly off,
possibly causing serious injury.
(2) Using this product near a welding machine may cause the motor rotation speed to fluctuate. Since the
control circuit of this product includes a magnetic sensor (to detect flux changes) and a triac (which may
malfunction due to noise), instruct the customer not to use this product near a machine that generates
electromagnetic noise or near an extremely strong magnetic field.

4. Operation Phenomena to Note in Sales Promotion
(1) Constant speed control
The rotation speed during operation may fluctuate somewhat depending on the conditions of use and
power source.
(2) Soft-start speed control
Immediately after startup, the rotation speed may fluctuate somewhat depending on the conditions of
use and power source.
(3) Variable speed control (G 12VA, G 13VA and G 15VA)
For adjusting the number of revolutions, the models above (G 12VA, G 13VA and G 15VA) are
equipped with an electronic infinite-variable-speed drive by which the number of revolutions can be
changed according to specific use. For example, turning and setting the dial scale to 6 increases the
number of revolutions; turning and setting it to 1 decreases the number of revolutions. Before using the
tool, use the dial to set the number of revolutions. Refer to the following table as a rough guide. Be
careful not to turn the dial scale to any setting value below 1 or above 6.
Immediately after shifting gear in the tool, the rotation speed may fluctuate somewhat depending on the
conditions of use and power source.

(4) Overload protection control
(a) Overload protection control tends to be easily actuated by certain types of work. Applying excessive
pressure on the tool during cutting or similar heavy-duty operation will actuate overload protection
control and automatically stop the motor. This is because overload protection control detects the
increased flow of current caused by excessive pressure on the tool, and automatically turns off the
motor to protect it against possible overload burnout. The customer should be advised that the
Models G 12VA, G 13VA, G 13YF, G 15VA and G 15YF are specifically designed to perform more
efficiently and faster with considerably less pressure applied than that required for conventional disc
grinders, and that skillful use of the tools with minimal applied pressure will avoid actuating overload
protection control. The customer should also be advised, however, that the overload protection
control feature cannot always prevent overload motor burnout under all possible use conditions.
(b) Instruct the customer to immediately turn off the main switch in case overload protection control is
actuated, separate the tool attached to the grinder from the workpiece, turn on the main switch, wait
until the rotation speed increases to normal speed, and then resume work. Also advise the customer
that overload protection control will quickly reactuate even under a slight load if the customer
resumes work before the rotation speed increases to the normal level.
(c) When beginning operation, note that you may inadvertently turn on the switch immediately after
pressing the depressed center wheel or cut-off wheel against the workpiece before the tool reaches
full rotation speed. (This will actuate overload protection control. Therefore, strongly recommend that
the customer never turn the switch on with the depressed center wheel in contact with the workpiece
or press the wheel against the workpiece when beginning operation until normal rotation speed has
been attained.)
-10-
(d) Control circuit failure may result in abnormally high rotation speed. Should the control circuit in the
tool malfunction, the rotation speed may increase excessively, thereby rendering continued use of
the tool extremely hazardous. In such case (of abnormally high rotation speed), the operator will hear
abnormal noise from the motor and/or gears. If such a phenomenon occurs, the customer should
immediately shut off the tool, and then bring it to the nearest Hitachi authorized sales outlet or repair
center for inspection and repair.
(5) Kickback protection control
For kickback protection, the microcomputer computes the drop in rotation speed per a specified length
of time when the tool attached to the grinder is placed under a load large enough to immediately stop
the tool's rotation during operation, and issues a command to shut off power to the motor if this
computed drop exceeds a preset drop limit. Conversely, kickback protection control is not actuated if
the computed drop is less than the preset drop limit. In either case, overload protection control may be
actuated several seconds later to stop the motor. Instruct the customer to immediately turn off the main
switch in case kickback protection control is actuated, separate the tool attached to the grinder from the
workpiece, turn on the main switch, wait until the rotation speed increases to normal speed, and then
resume work. Also advise the customer that overload protection control will quickly reactuate even
under a slight load if the customer resumes work before the rotation speed increases to the normal
level.
(6) 0-voltage restart protection control
Instruct the customer to immediately turn off the main switch in case 0-voltage restart protection control
is actuated, separate the tool attached to the grinder from the workpiece, turn on the main switch, wait
until the rotation speed increases to normal speed, and then resume work. Also instruct the customer to
turn off the main switch and not to use this product near a machine that generates electromagnetic
noise, near an extremely strong magnetic field, or under stormy weather conditions with thunder or
lightning because the microcomputer could malfunction due to noise and 0-voltage restart protection
control may not be actuated correctly. Note that 0-voltage restart protection control may not be actuated
in case of momentarily power failure.

(2) Turn the Controller [53] <54> for the Housing [39] <40> in the arrow "A" direction, and then remove the
Controller [53] <54> from the Housing [39] <40>. (Fig. 5)
(3) While pressing the Switch [49] <50> in the arrow "A" direction, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to
press the latches of the Controller [53] <54> in the arrow "B" direction to remove the snap Switch [49]
<50> from the Controller [53] <54>. (Fig. 6)
5. Disassembly of the stator
(1) After removing the Armature [11] <12>, disconnect the lead wires connected to the carbon Brush
Holders [41] <42>, and then remove the Connector 50091 [52] <53>.
(2) Remove the Fan Guide [12] <13> from the Housing [39] <40>.
(3) Loosen the two Hex. Hd. Tapping Screws D4 x 70 [13] <14>, and then remove the Stator [14] <15> and
Internal Wire [51] <52> from the Housing [39] <40>. If the Stator [14] <15> proves difficult to remove
from the Housing [39] <40>, use an appropriate heating device to heat the Housing [39] <40> to a
temperature of about 60C (140F) in order to facilitate disassembly.
6. Removal of the slide switch knob
(1) Loosen the two Tapping Screws (W/Flange) D4 x 50 (Black) [59] <60> and remove the Tail Cover [57] <58>.
(2) Hold the Housing [39] <40> and remove the Spring [46] <47>, and then raise the Slide Bar [47] <48>
until the Slide Switch Knob [38] <39> moves to the "ON" position.
(3) Check that the Slide Switch Knob [38] <39> has not moved to the "ON-LOCK" position, and then push
down the Slide Switch Knob [38] <39> until it clicks while keeping the Slide Bar [47] <48> raised.
(4) Raise the Slide Switch Knob [38] <39> straight up and remove it while keeping the Slide Bar [47] <48>
raised.

Perform reassembly by reversing the order of the disassembly procedure. However, special attention
should be given to the following items.
(1) Generously lubricate the teeth of the Gear and Pinion set [19] <20> with grease. Rub grease onto the
teeth with your fingers so that it reaches the bottom of each tooth. Note that insufficient lubrication may
result in faster wear of the Gear and Pinion set [19] <20>.
(2) Be sure to soak the inner diameter of the Felt Packing [24] <25> with machine oil. Otherwise, its dust-
sealing function will fail to work properly, resulting in premature damage to Ball Bearing 6201DDCMP2L
[23] <24>.
(3) When replacing the Armature [11] <12> or Ball Bearing 608VVC2PS2L [17] <18> on the commutator
side, be sure to replace Dust Seal (A) [16] <17> with a new one together. Dust Seal (A) [16] <17> is an
important part to ensure the dust resistance of the ball bearing. Replace Dust Seal (A) [16] <17> with a
new one without fail. Press-fit Ball Bearing 608VVC2PS2L [17] <18> into the position shown in Fig. 7.
(4) Apply Three Bond TB 1406 Screw Locking Agent to the following screws:
• Two Seal Lock Screws (W/Sp. Washer) M4 x 10 [1] <3> that secure the Bearing Cover [10] <11> in
place.
• Three Seal Lock Screws (W/Sp. Washer) M4 x 8 [21] <22> that secure the Bearing Cover (B) [22]
<23> in place.
• Four Seal Lock Screws (W/Sp. Washer) M5 x 16 [26] <27> that secure the Packing Gland [25] <26>
in place.
(5) Check that the end of the spring does not hold the pigtail when mounting the carbon brush. Do not catch
the pigtail in the tail cover when mounting the cover as shown in Fig. 8 below.
(6) When replacing the Gear Cover Ass'y [4] <5>, lubricate the needle bearing with mixed oil.
Mixed oil: Mixture of Hitachi power tool grease No. 2 (Unilube No. 00) and turbine oil
• Mixed ratio ------- 1:1 (weight ratio) • Volume ---------- 0.5 cc
