Do not use abrasive or grinding wheels that are overly
worn.
Make sure that the inner and outer flanges are attached
u
correctly.
Make sure that the abrasive or grinding wheels are
u
rotating in the direction of the arrows on the accessories
and tool.
Warning! Make sure all materials to be grinded are secured in
position.
Apply slight pressure to the tool. Do not apply side
u
pressure to the abrasive disc.
Avoid overloading. If the tool becomes hot, let it spin for
u
a few minutes with no load.
Be sure to hold the tool tightly with both hands (one hand
u
on housing, the other on side handle). Start the tool and
bring the grinding wheel on the workpiece.
Keep the edge of the wheel tilted at angle from 15 to 30
u
degrees against the surface of the workpiece.
When using a new grinding wheel, do not operate the
u
wheel in the B direction, otherwise, it will cut into the
workpiece. When the edge of wheel has been rounded
off, you are free to operate the grinder in either the A or
B direction.
Starting and stopping
Warning! Before using the tool, check whether the handle is
tightened securely. Check whether the ON/OFF switch is
working normally.
Before plugging in the tool to the power supply, check
whether the switch is in the OFF (o) position when pressing
the rear end of the switch.
To start the tool, press the rear end of the switch and slide
it forward. Then press the front end of the switch to lock it.
Press the rear end of the switch to stop the tool.
Warning! Do not switch the tool on or off while under load
conditions.
Proper hand position (Fig E)
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the side handle,
with the other hand on the body of the tool, as shown in Figure
E.
Switches
Caution! Hold the body of the tool firmly to maintain control of
the tool at start up and during use and until the wheel or
accessory stops rotating. Make sure the wheel has come to a
complete stop be fore laying the tool down.
Note: To reduce unexpected tool movement, do not
switch the tool on or off while under load conditions.
(Original instructions)
Allow the grinder to run up to full speed before touching the
work surface. Lift the tool from the surface before turning the
tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before putting it down.
Slider switch
Warning! Before connecting the tool to a power supply, be
sure the slider switch is in the off position by pressing the rear
part of the switch and releasing. Ensure the slider switch is in
the off position as described above after any interruption
in power supply to the tool, such as the activation of a ground
fault interrupter, throwing of a circuit breaker, accidental
unplugging, or power failure. If the slider switch is locked on
when the power is connected, the tool will start unexpectedly.
To start the tool, slide the slider switch (1) toward the front
of the tool. To stop the tool, release the slider switch. For
continuous operation, slide the switch toward the front of the
tool and press the forward part of the switch inward. To stop
the tool while operating in continuous mode, press the rear
part of the slider switch and release.
Spindle lock
The spindle lock (2) prevents the output shaft from rotating
when attaching or removing the grinding wheel. Only use
the spindle lock when the tool is switched off, power is
unplugged, and wheel stops completely.
Note: To minimize tool damages, don't use the spindle lock
when the tool is operating.
Otherwise, it may damage the tool. The attached
accessories may come off and cause injury.
If using the spindle lock, press the spindle lock button and
rotate the output shaft until it stops.
Warning! Under extreme working conditions, conductive dust
and grit may accumulate on the housing interior when
handling metal workpieces.
This could create an electric shock hazard as it weakens the
protective insulation in the grinder.
To avoid accumulation of metal chips in the interior of the
grinder, we recommend cleaning the ventilation ducts daily.
Refer to Maintenance.
Application on metals
When applying the tool on metals, make sure that a
residual-current device (RCD) is inserted to prevent danger
from metal chips.
If the RCD causes power disconnection, have the tool
sent to an authorized STANLEY FATMAX dealer for repair.
Using grinding wheels
Warning! Under extreme working conditions,
conductive dust and grit may accumulate on the
housing interior when handling metal workpieces.
This could create an electric shock hazard as it weakens the
protective insulation in the grinder.
