1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.
2. Depress the spindle lock button and use a wrench
(Fig. E) to tighten the hub of the wheel.
3. Reverse the above procedure to remove the wheel.
WARNING! Failure to properly seat the wheel before
turning the tool on may result in damage to the tool or the
wheel.
Mounting Non-Hubbed Wheels
WARNING! To prevent accidental operation, turn off and
unplug tool before performing the following operations.
Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury.
1. Figure F: Install the unthreaded backing flange (10) on
spindle (11) with the raised section (pilot) against the wheel.
2. Place wheel against the backing flange, centering the
wheel on the raised section (pilot) of the backing flange.
3. Figure G: While depressing the spindle lock button,
thread the threaded clamp nut (12) on spindle.
►Figure H: If the wheel you are installing is more
than 1/8 inch (3mm) thick, place the threaded clamp
nut on the spindle so that the raised section (pilot) fits
into the center of the wheel.
►Figure I: If the wheel you are installing is 1/8 inch
(3mm) thick or less, place the threaded clamp nut
on the spindle so that the raised section (pilot) is not
against the wheel.
4. While depressing the spindle lock button (5), tighten
the threaded clamp nut with included wrench.
5. To remove the wheel, depress the spindle lock button
and loosen the threaded clamp nut with included
wrench.
Note: If the wheel spins after the threaded clamp nut is
tightened, check the orientation of the threaded clamp
nut. If a thin wheel is installed with the pilot on the
clamp nut against the wheel, it will spin because the
height of the pilotprevents the clamp nut from holding
the wheel.
GRINDING
Surface Grinding with Grinding Wheels
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the
tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing
the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding rate is
greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Figure J: Maintain a 20˚ to 30˚ angle between the tool
and work surface.
4. Continuously move the tool in a forward and back
motion to avoid creating gouges in the work surface.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool
off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
Precautions to Take when Sanding Paint
♦ Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED
due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust.
The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and
pregnant women.
♦ Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint
contains lead without a chemical analysis, we
recommend the following precautions when sanding
any paint.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Helpful Hints
♦ Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the body and
the other hand firmly around the side handle as shown
in Fig. J.
♦ Always position the guard so that as much of the
exposed disc as possible is pointing away from you.
ff Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc
touches the metal.
♦ Maintain an angle between the disc and work surface
(Fig. J) of approximately 30° when grinding and 10°-
15° when sanding (Fig. K) for best tool control, material
removal, and minimal loading.
CAUTION! Use extra care when grinding into a corner
as a sudden, sharp movement of the grinder may be
experienced when the wheel contacts a secondary surface.
WARNING! Always wear eye protection while operating
this power tool.
MAINTENANCE
Your Stanley corded/cordless appliance/tool has been
designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. To ensure satisfactory operations,
the tool must be maintained and cleaned regularly
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.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance on corded/
cordless power tools:
Lubrication
Stanley tools are properly lubricated at the factory
and are ready for use.
Tools should be lubricated regularly every year depending
on usage. (Tools used on heavy duty jobs and tools
exposed to heat may require more frequent lubrication.)
This lubrication should be attempted only by trained power
tool repairperson's such as those at Stanley service centers
or in other qualified service personnel.
