Excellent overload durability

The Models G 18SS and G 23SS provide excellent overload durability in common with the current models.

The graph below shows the comparison of overload durability when the stator coil temperature rise is

200°K using the Model G 23SS as the reference.As is evident from this, the Models G 18SS and G 23SS

are superior to B in overload durability.

Protected armature coil

Both ends of the armature coil are protected with “long wedges” in addition to the varnish treatment to

minimize damage to the coil caused by dust.

1. Safety instructions

In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models G 18SS and G 23SS Disc

Grinders by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale, the salesperson carefully

ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Handling Instructions,

and fully understands the meaning of 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, general precautions and suggestions for the use of electric power tools, and

specific precautions and suggestions for the use of the disc grinders are listed in the Handling Instructions

to enhance the safe and efficient use of the tool by the customer. Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar

with the contents of the Handling Instructions to be able to offer appropriate guidance to the customer

during sales promotion.

B. Caution on the name plate

Each tool is provided with a name plate which contains the following basic safety precautions in the use of

the tool.

CAUTION

Read thoroughly HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS before use.

C. Precautions on usage

Never press the pushing button while the depressed-center wheel is rotating.

If the pushing button is pressed while the depressed-center wheel is rotating, the spindle will stop

immediately. In such a case, there is a danger that the wheel nut may be loosened and the depressed-

center wheel may fly off unexpectedly, resulting in possible serious injury.

(a) Loosen the Hex. Socket Hd. Bolt M8 x 25 [28] and remove the Wheel Guard Ass'y [29].

(b) Remove the Brush Caps [34] and take out the Carbon Brushes (1 Pair) [35].

taken out together with the Gear Cover Ass'y [5], Packing Gland [26] and related parts.

(d) Remove the four Hex. Socket Hd. Bolts (W/Flange) M5 x 16 [27].

(e) After removing the two Seal Lock Screws (W/Sp. Washer) M5 x 14 (Black) [1], the Armature [10] can

be extracted together with the Bearing Cover [9] and the related parts.

(f) Carefully wrap theArmature [10] with a soft, clean rag to protect it from being damaged, and clamp it

securely in a vise. Then, remove the Special Nut M10 [6] and extract the Gear and Pinion Set [33].

(g) As illustrated in Fig. 1, the Ball Bearing 6301VVCMPS2L [7] can be removed from the Armature [10]
