Explanation: Before coming into contact with the object
you are working on, make sure the abrasive wheel is
turning at maximum speed. Before turning off the tool, lift
the tool up from the object you are working on.
Caution! Make sure the abrasive wheel is completely
stopped before putting down the tool.
ROTATING THE GEAR CASE (Fig. E)
The gear case is mounted onto the tool casing, and it can
be rotated to give the user a more comfortable experience
while cutting.
The rotating gear case can be turned 90 degrees, 180
degrees, and 270 degrees to the left or to the right.
f Loosen the four screws on the gear case.
f Rotate the gear case till it reaches its ideal location.
f Tighten the four screws on the gear case.
f Ensure that the rotating mechanism is locked.
Warning! Do NOT use the tool when the gear case is
unlocked.
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 dealer for repair.
Warning! Under extreme working conditions,
conductive dust and grit may accumulate on the housing
interior when handling metal work pieces. 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.
USING GRINDING WHEELS
Warning! Metal powder accumulates. Excessive
use of the grinding wheel on metals may increase the
risk of electric shock. To reduce the risk, insert the RCD
before use and clean the ventilation ducts daily. Follow the
maintenance instructions below to blow dry compressed
air into the ventilation ducts.
MAINTENANCE
STANLEY power tools have been designed to operate
over a long period of time with minimal maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
tool care and regular cleaning.
Warning! To minimize the danger of serious
personal injury, please switch off the tool power and
disconnect all plugs before adjusting or removing/
installing any accessory. Before reassembling the tool,
press and release the trigger switch to make sure the tool
is already switched off.
LUBRICATION
This power tool does not require separate lubrication.
CLEANING
Warning! Once visible dust accumulates on the
ventilation ducts and the surrounding, immediately use dry
air to blow away dust and grit out of the interior of the
housing. You need to wear approved eye and facial
protective gear when performing this process.
Warning! Never use solvents or harsh chemicals to
clean non-metal parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the material of the parts. Use only mild soap and
damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside
the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
