push in the lock lever (B) further. To stop the tool from
the locked position, pull the switch trigger (A) fully, then

Electronic function
Constant speed control
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating
speed is kept constantly even under the loaded
condition.
Additionally, when the load on the tool exceeds
admissible levels, power to the motor is reduced to
protect the motor from overheating. When the load
returns to admissible levels, the tool will operate as
normal.
Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
Indication lamp

008416
The indication lamp lights up green when the tool is
plugged. If the indication lamp does not light up, the
mains cord or the controller may be defective. The
indication lamp is lit but the tool does not start even if the
tool is switched on, the carbon brushes may be worn out,
or the controller, the motor or the ON/OFF switch may be
defective.
Unintentional restart proof
Even locking lever keeping the switch trigger depressed
(Lock-on position) does not allow the tool to restart even
when the tool is plugged.
At this time, the indication lamp flickers red and shows
the unintentional restart proof device is on function.
To cancel the unintentional restart proof, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
Level planing (for PC5001C only)

To level a surface, the base of the planer should be
aligned with the diamond wheel. The front roller should
be adjusted (use hex wrench) upward to the level
required for the desired stock removal amount.
To change the amount of stock (concrete) removed,
loosen the hex socket head bolts on the base holder with
the hex wrench. Raise or lower the front roller to adjust
the gap between it and the diamond wheel. The
difference is the stock removal amount. Then secure the
hex socket head bolts very carefully.

For smooth removal of a given surface roughness or
texture, tilting the base is helpful. Use the hex wrench to
loosen the two hex socket head bolts securing the base
on either side.
Use a hex wrench to lower the three hex socket head
bolts on the base by turning them on the base clockwise.
