Remove the tool from the work surface before turning
u
the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying
it down.
Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface grinding
applications because these wheels are not designed for side
pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage
and injury may result.
Using wire cup brushes and wire wheels
Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale
and paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces.
Note: The same precautions should be taken when wire
brushng paint as when sanding paint.
Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool
u
to the work surface.
Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool
u
to operate at high speed. Material removal rate is greatest
when the tool operates at high speed.
Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle between the tool and work
u
surface for wire cup brushes.
Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and the
u
work surface with wire wheels.
Continuously move the tool in a forward and back motion
u
to avoid creating gouges in the work surface. Allowing the
tool to rest on the work surface without moving, or moving
the tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling
marks on the work surface.
Remove the tool from the work surface before turning
u
the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting
it down.
Use extra care when working over an edge, as a sudden
sharp movement of grinder may be experienced.
Precautions to take when wire brushing paint
Wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT
u
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
u
contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend
the following precautions when wire brushing any paint:
Personal safety
No children or pregnant women should enter the work
u
area where the paint wire brushing is being done until all
clean up is completed.
A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
u
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily
or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
Note: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead
paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks
do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for
the proper respiratory protection.
(Original instructions)
NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done
u
in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle on them.
Environmental safety
Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize
u
the amount of dust generated.
Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
u
with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
Wire brushing should be done in a manner to reduce
u
tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
Cleaning and disposal
All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
u
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the
wire brushing project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changed frequently.
Plastic drop cloths should be gatheredup and disposed
u
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant women should be
kept away from the immediate work area.
All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children
u
should be washed thoroughly before being used again.
Using cutting wheels
Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface grinding
applications because these wheels are not designed for side
pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage
and injury may result.
Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to
u
work surface.
Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to
u
operate at high speed. Cutting rate is greatest when the
tool operates at high speed.
Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the
u
workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing
the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause
wheel breakage.
Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off.
u
Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.
Maintenance
Your STANLEY FATMAX tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.
