Place the tool on a table, with the spindle (5) facing up.
u
Release the clamping lock (7) and hold the guard (4) over
the tool as shown.
u
Align the lugs (8) with the notches (9).
u
Press the guard down and rotate it counterclockwise to
the required position.
u
Fasten the clamping lock (7) to secure the guard to the
tool.
u
If required, tighten the screw (6) to increase the clamping
force.
Removing
u
Release the clamping lock (7).
u
Rotate the guard clockwise to align the lugs (8) with the
notches (9).
u
Remove the guard from the tool.
Warning! Never use the tool without the guard.
Fitting the side handle
u
Screw the side handle (2) into one of the mounting holes
in the tool.
Warning! Always use the side handle.
Fitting and removing grinding or cutting discs
(fig. B - D)
Always use the correct type of disc for your application.
Always use discs with the correct diameter and bore size (see
technical data).
Fitting
u
Fit the guard as described above.
u
Place the inner flange (10) onto the spindle (5) as shown
(fig. B). Make sure that the flange is correctly located on
the flat sides of the spindle.
u
Place the disc (11) onto the spindle (5) as shown (fig. B).
If the disc has a raised centre (12), make sure that the
raised centre faces the inner flange.
u
Make sure that the disc locates correctly on the inner
flange.
u
Place the outer flange (13) onto the spindle. When fitting
a grinding disc, the raised centre on the outer flange must
face towards the disc (A in fig. C). When fitting a cutting
disc, the raised centre on the outer flange must face away
from the disc (B in fig. C).
u
Keep the spindle lock (3) depressed and tighten the outer
flange using the two-pin spanner (14) (fig. D).
Removing
u
Keep the spindle lock (3) depressed and loosen the outer
flange (13) using the two-pin spanner (14) (fig. D).
u
Remove the outer flange (13) and the disc (11).
Fitting and removing sanding discs (fig. D & E)
For sanding, a backing pad is required. The backing pad is
available from your Stanley Fat Max dealer as an accessory.

Place the outer flange (13) onto the spindle with the raised
centre facing away from the disc.
u
Keep the spindle lock (3) depressed and tighten the outer
flange using the two-pin spanner (14) (fig. D). Make sure
that the outer flange is fitted correctly and that the disc is
clamped tightly.
Removing
u
Keep the spindle lock (3) depressed and loosen the outer
flange (13) using the two-pin spanner (14) (fig. D).
u
Remove the outer flange (13), the sanding disc (16) and

Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
u
Carefully guide the cable in order to avoid accidentally
cutting it.
u
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the grinding or
cutting disc touches the workpiece.
u
Always position the tool in such a way that the guard
provides optimum protection from the grinding or cutting
disc.
Switching on and off
u
To switch on, slide the on/off switch (1) forward then press
it in. Note that the tool will continue running when you
release the switch.
u
To switch off, press the rear part of the on/off switch.
Warning! Do not switch the tool off while under load.
Soft Start Feature
The soft start feature allows a slow speed build-up to avoid
an initial jerk when starting. This feature is particularly useful
when working in confined spaces.
