Warning!
Always switch off the tool and then the
power supply when work is finished.
Cutting (Fig. E)
• Align the front edge of the base with the cutting
• Line on the workpiece.
• Hold the tool firmly.
• Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the
wheel making any contact.
• Turn the tool on and wait until the wheel attains full
speed.
• Move the tool forward over the workpiece surface,
advancing smoothly until the cut is completed.
• Keep the cutting line straight.
Warning!
This tool should only be used on horizontal
surfaces.
• Be sure to move the tool gently forward, in a straight
line.
• Forcing, or exerting excessive pressure, or allowing the
wheel to bend, pinch or twist in the cut can cause the
motor to over heat and tool to kick back dangerously.
• When the depth of cut is over 20mm deep, make 2 or 3
separate cuts to prevent motor failure.
Maintenance
Your STANLEY power tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with minimal maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning. Do not repair the tool yourself.
Please send your tool to authorized STANLEY service
centers for regular maintenance and service, or when a
significant change in performance is observed.
Carbon brushes (Fig. F)
• Remove and check carbon brushes regularly.
• Replace when they have worn down to about 6mm or
less.
• Keep carbon brushes clean for free movement in the
holder. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the
same time.
• Use only STANLEY carbon brushes.
• Use a slotted screwdriver to remove brush caps (5).
• Remove worn brushes, insert new ones, and secure the
brush caps.
Cleaning
Warning!
Unplug the tool before you use a cloth
to clean the housing. With the motor running,
blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with dry air at least
once a week. Wear safety glasses when performing this.
Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth and
mild detergent. Although these parts are highly solvent
resistant, NEVER use solvents.
Tool Care
Avoid overloading the power tool. Overloading will result in a
considerable reduction in speed and efficiency and the tool
will over heat. In this case, run the power tool at no load for a
minute or two until cooled to normal working temperature by
the built in fan. Switching your tool on and off whilst under
load will considerably reduce the life of the tool.
Important
To ensure product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance
and adjustment (other than those listed in this manual)
should be performed by authorized service centers or other
qualified organizations, always using identical replacement
parts. Unit contains no user serviceable parts inside.
Accessories
The performance of any power tool is dependent on the
accessory used. STANLEY accessories are engineered to
high quality standards and are manufactured from the best
materials. Stringent tests are performed before the
accessories are launched in the market. They are designed
to enhance the performance of power tools.
Purchase STANLEY accessories to bring your STANLEY
power tools to greater performance. Recommended
