ENGLISH (Original instructions)
Grinding
Surface grinding with grinding wheels
Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the
u
tool to the work surface.
Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing
u
the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding rate is
greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
Maintain a 20˚ to 30˚ angle between the tool and work
u
surface.
Continuously move the tool in a forward and back
u
motion to avoid creating gouges in the work surface.
Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool
u
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
u
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 sanding
any paint.

General information

Helpful hints
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the body and
u
the other hand firmly around the side handle (12) as
shown in Fig E.
Always position the guard so that as much of the
u
exposed disc as possible is pointing away from you.
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc
touches the metal.
Maintain an angle between the disc and work surface
u
(Fig D) of approximately 30° when grinding and 10°-
15° when sanding (Fig D) 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.
Pop-off brushes
The motor will be automatically shut off indicating that the
carbon brushes are nearly worn out and that the tool needs
servicing. The carbon brushes are not user-serviceable.
Take the tool to an authorised Stanley Fat Max repair agent.
