English
Once the leading edge of the depressed center
wheel is properly abraded, grinding may be
conducted in either direction.
4. Precautions immediately after finishing operation
The wheel continues to rotate after the tool is
switched off.
After switching off the machine, do not put it down
until the depressed center wheel has come to a
complete stop. Apart from avoiding serious
accidents, this precaution will reduce the amount
of dust and swarf sucked into the machine.
NOTE
To prevent injuries, this product has a function that
prevents unexpected motor rotation when the battery
is inserted. The motor will not run if the battery
is inserter while the switch is still ON. After installing
the battery, turn the switch off and then back on
again.
The G14DL and G18DL models are equipped with
a protection function that will shut down the tool
in the event of an overload.
Should the tool shut down due to an overload, turn
the power off and then turn it back on again.
An overload that stops tool operation and lasts
more than 10 seconds may not be released by
turning the power off and on. Should this happen,
remove the battery from the tool and reinstall it
before turning on the power switch.
CAUTIONS
Check that the work piece is properly supported.
Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when
working in dusty conditions.
If it should become necessary to clear dust, first
disconnect the tool from the mains supply (use non-
metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.
Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create
a hazard e.g. do not hit persons, or ignite flammable
substances.
Always use eye and ear protection.
Other personal protective equipment such as dust
mask, gloves, helmet and apron should be worn
when necessary.
If in doubt, wear the protective equipment.
When the machine is not use, the battery should
be disconnected.
ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING THE
DEPRESSED CENTER WHEEL (Fig. 2)
CAUTION: Be sure to turn off the switch and pull out the
battery.
1. Assembling (Fig. 2)
(1) Turn the disc grinder upsidedown so that the spindle
is facing upward.
(2) Align the across flats of the wheel washer with the
notched part of the spindle, then attach them.
(3) Fit the protuberance of the depressed center wheel
onto the wheel washer.
(4) Screw the wheel nut onto the spindle.
(5) While pushing the push button with one hand, lock
the spindle by turning the depressed center wheel
slowly with the other hand.
Tighten the wheel nut by using the supplied wrench
as shown in Fig. 2.

2. Disassembling
Follow the above procedures in reverse.
CAUTIONS
Confirm that the depressed center wheel is mounted
firmly.
Confirm that the push button is disengaged by
pushing push button two or three times before
switching the power tool on.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the depressed center wheel
Ensure that the depressed center 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.
Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 4)
4.
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since and excessively worn
carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace
the carbon brush with new ones when it becomes
worn to or near the "wear limit". In addition, always
keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they
slide freely within the brush holders.
NOTE
When replacing the carbon brush with a new one,
be sure to use the HiKOKI Carbon Brush Code No.
999054.
5. Replacing carbon brushes
Take out the carbon brush by first removing the
brush cap and then hooking the protrusion of the
carbon brush with a slotted head screw driver, etc.,
as shown in Fig. 6.
When installing the carbon brush, choose the
direction so that the nail of the carbon brush agrees
with the contact portion outside the brush tube.
Then push it in with a finger as illustrated in Fig.
7. Lastly, install the brush cap.
CAUTION
Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon
brush into the contact portion outside the brush
tube. (You can insert whichever one of the two
nails provided.)
Caution must be exercised since any error in this
operation can result in the deformed nail of the
carbon brush and may cause motor trouble at an
early stage.
6 Cleaning of the outside
When the cordless disc grinder is stained, wipe with
a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy
water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint
thinner, as they melt plastics.
7. Storage
Store the cordless disc grinder in a place in which
the temperature is less than 40°C, and out of reach
of children.
