When using a new grinding wheel, do not operate the
u
wheel in the B direction, otherwise, it will cut into the
workpiece. When the edge of wheel has been rounded
off, you are free to operate the grinder in either the A or
B direction.
Starting and stopping
Warning! Before using the tool, check whether the handle is
tightened securely. Check whetherthe ON/OFF switch is
working normally.
Before plugging in the tool to the power supply, check
whether the switch is in the OFF (o) position when pressing
the rear end of the switch.
To start the tool, press the rear end of the switch and slide
it forward. Then press the front end of the switch to lock it.
Press the rear end of the switch to stop the tool.
Warning! Do not switch the tool on or off while under load
conditions.
Proper hand position (Fig E)
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the side handle
(12), with the other hand on the body of the tool, as
shown in Fig E.
Variable speed dial (Fig E)
The variable speed dial offers added tool control and
enables the tool to be used at optimum conditions to suit
the accessory and material.
Turn the dial (11) to the desired level. Turn the dial
u
upward for higher speed and downwards for lower
speed.
Switches
Caution! Hold the body of the tool firmly to maintain control of
the tool at start up and during use and until the wheel or
accessory stops rotating. Make sure the wheel has come to a
complete stop before laying the tool down.
NOTE: To reduce unexpected tool movement, do not switch
the tool on or off while under load conditions. Allow the
grinder to run up to full speed before touching the work
surface. Lift the tool from the surface before turning the tool
off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before putting it down.
Slider switch
Warning! Before connecting the tool to a power supply, be
sure the slider switch is in the off position by pressing the rear
part of the switch and releasing.
(Original instructions)
Ensure the slider switch is in the off position as described
above after any interruption in power supply to the tool, such
as the activation of a ground fault interrupter, throwing of a
circuit breaker, accidental unplugging, or power failure. If
the slider switch is locked on when the power is connected,
the tool will start unexpectedly.
To start the tool, slide the slider switch (1) toward the front
of the tool. To stop the tool, release the slider switch. For
continuous operation, slide the switch toward the front of the
tool and press the forward part of the switch inward. To stop
the tool while operating in continuous mode, press the rear
part of the slider switch and release.
Spindle lock
The spindle lock (2) prevents the output shaft from rotating
when attaching or removing the grinding wheel. Only use
the spindle lock when the tool is switched off, power is
unplugged, and wheel stops completely.
Note: To minimize tool damages, don't use the spindle lock
when the tool is operating.
Otherwise, it may damage the tool. The attached
accessories may come off and cause injury.
If using the spindle lock, press the spindle lock button and
rotate the output shaft until it stops.
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 Fat Max dealer for repair.
Warning! Under extreme working conditions,
conductive dust and grit may accumulate on the
housing interior when handling metal workpieces.
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.
