Maintenance; General Maintenance - Craftsman 315.FS2600 Manual Del Operador

NOTICE:
If the grinder is held in one spot
too long, it will gouge and cut grooves in the
workpiece. If the grinder is held at too sharp an
angle, it will also gouge the workpiece because of
concentration of pressure on a small area.
 Use just enough pressure to keep the grinder from
chattering or bouncing.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other part
could create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side
shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to
do so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury,
always remove the battery pack from the tool when
cleaning, performing any maintenance, or when
storing the tool.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and can be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic
which could result in serious personal injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
should be replaced at a Sears Service Center.
REPLACING THE GUARD
See Figure 2, page i.
WARNING:
Do not change or loosen guard
screw. Failure to heed this warning may cause the
guard to become loose during operation resulting
in serious personal injury.
After extended use, the guard may wear and need replacing.
If you drop the grinder and damage the guard it may also be
necessary for you to replace it.
OPERATION
NOTE: Heavy pressure will decrease the grinder's speed
and put a strain on the motor. Normally the weight of the
tool alone is adequate for most grinding jobs. Use light
pressure when grinding jagged edges or loose bolts where
there is the potential for the grinder to snag on the metal
edge.
 Lift the grinder away from the workpiece before turning
off the grinder.

MAINTENANCE

To replace the guard:
 Remove the battery pack from the grinder.
 Depress spindle lock and rotate clamp nut until spindle
locks.
 Loosen and remove clamp nut from spindle using the
wrench provided.
 Remove grinding wheel and disc flange.
 Unlock the guard clasp by pulling the clasp out, away
from the grinder.
 Open clasp fully and twist guard to release it from the
locking groove in the tool housing.
 Remove guard.
 Place the new guard on the shoulder of the bearing
cap.
 Rotate guard to the correct position. Refer to Position-
ing the Guard earlier in this manual.
NOTE: Be sure the raised ridge on the guard is seated
in the groove on the bearing cap.
 Reassemble disc flange, grinding wheel, and clamp nut.
Refer to Installing Grinding Wheel earlier in this manual.
 Tighten the clamp nut securely with the wrench provided.
