General Information; Maintenance - Stanley SGS1045 Instruction Manual

Precautions to Take when Sanding Paint
♦ Sanding of lead based paint is NOT 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 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
the other hand firmly around the side handle as shown
in Fig. J.
♦ Always position the guard so that as much of the
exposed disc as possible is pointing away from you.
ff Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc
touches the metal.
♦ Maintain an angle between the disc and work surface
(Fig. J) of approximately 30° when grinding and 10°-
15° when sanding (Fig. K) 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.

MAINTENANCE

Your Stanley corded/cordless appliance/tool has been
designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. To ensure satisfactory operations,
the tool must be maintained and cleaned regularly
WARNING! To minimize the danger of serious
personal injury, please switch off the tool power and
disconnect all plugs before adjusting or removing/
installing any accessory. Before reassembling the tool,
press and release the trigger switch to make sure the tool is
already switched off.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance on corded/
cordless power tools:
Lubrication
Stanley tools are properly lubricated at the factory
and are ready for use.
Tools should be lubricated regularly every year depending
on usage. (Tools used on heavy duty jobs and tools
exposed to heat may require more frequent lubrication.)
This lubrication should be attempted only by trained power
tool repairperson's such as those at Stanley service centers
or in other qualified service personnel.
Cleaning
WARNING! Dust and grit from metal
grinding often accumulate on interior
surfaces and could create an electrical
shock hazard if not cleaned out. Use only mild soap
and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any
liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of
the tool into a liquid.
WARNING! Never use solvents or harsh chemicals
to clean non-metal parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the material of the parts. Use only
mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any
liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into liquid.
WARNING! Do not overload your angle grinder.
Overloading causes a reduction in speed and
efficiency, causing your angle grinder to become too hot. If
this happens, operate your angle grinder under no load for
one or two minutes until it has cooled to normal operating
temperature. Switching your angle grinder off under load
will reduce the life of the switch.
¡IMPORTANT! To ensure product SAFETY and
RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment
