Maintenance - Stanley STGT7100 Manual

TOGGLE SWITCH (STGT7100/STGT6100)
WARNING: Before connecting the tool to
a power supply, be sure the toggle switch
is in the off (0) position by pressing the rear
part of the switch and releasing. Ensure
the toggle 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 toggle
switch is locked on when the power is
connected, the tool will start unexpectedly.
To start the tool, move the switch (j) completely
forward to "1" position.To stop the tool, move the
switch (j) back the opposite "0" position.To run the
tool in continuous operation, keep the switch (j) on
"1" position. To stop the tool in continuous operation,
move the switch (j) back the opposite "0" position.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. 6)
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 (figure 1), with the other hand on the body of
the tool, as shown in figure 6.
Spindle lock (Fig. 1)
The spindle lock (b) 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 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.

Maintenance

Stanley power tools have been designed to operate
over a long period of time with minimal maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper tool care and regular cleaning.
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.
Lubrication
This power tool does not require separate lubrication.
Cleaning
WARNING: Once visible dust
accumulates on the ventilation ducts and
the surrounding, immediately use dry
air to blow away dust and grit out of the
interior of the housing. You need to wear
approved eye and facial protective gear
when performing this process.
