7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION

In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models G 10SD2, G 12S2 and G 13SD 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 constants of the Handling Instructions, and fully understands
the meaning of the precautions listed on the Name Plate or Caution Plate attached to each tool.

7-1. 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.

7-2. Caution on Name Plate

Each tool is provided with a Name Plate which contains the following basic safety precautions in the use of the
tool.
(1) For Australia, New Zealand and China
CAUTION
Read thoroughly HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS before use.

7-3. Precautions on Usage

(1) The wheel guard must be aligned in relation to the side handle mounting position.
As illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, the customer should be instructed that the wheel guard mounting angle must be
aligned and fixed in accordance with the side handle mounting position so that the operator's hand will not
contact the depressed center wheel.
(2) 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 so that the depressed center wheel flies
off unexpectedly to cause possible serious injury.
