How To Use; Maintenance And Inspection - Hitachi GP 2 Instrucciones De Manejo

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.
Materials to be ground
Mild steel, hard steel,
forged steel
Cast iron
Brass, bronze, aluminium
Ceramic
Synthetic resin
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.

(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.

to be ground.
