Residual Risks; Assembly And Adjustment - Stanley STGS8115 Instruction Manual

applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are
of correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
f. Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.

RESIDUAL RISKS

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks cannot be avoided. These are:
f Impairment of hearing.
f Risk of personal injury due flying particles.
f Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during
operation.
f Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
f Risk of dust from hazardous substances.

Attaching and removing grinding wheels
(Fig. C and D)
Warning! Do not use damaged grinding wheels.
1. Place the tool on a work bench, groove facing up.
2. Attach the inner flange (4) correctly on the output
shaft (5) (Fig. C).
3. Place the grinding wheel (6) on the inner flange (4).
When attaching a grinding wheel with a raised center,
make sure that the raised center (7) faces the inner
flange (4).
4. Tighten the outer flange (8) until the output shaft (5)
(Fig. D). When attaching the grinding wheel, the ring
on top of the outer flange (8) must face the wheel.
5. Press the spindle lock (2) and prevent the spindle (5)
from rotating until it locks in place.
