Rotating the Gear Case (fig. E)
The gear case is mounted onto the tool casing, and
it can be rotated to give the user a more comfortable
experience while cutting.
The rotating gear case can be turned 90 degrees,

• Rotate the gear case till it reaches its ideal
location.
• Tighten the four screws on the gear case.
• Ensure that the rotating mechanism is locked.
WARNING:
Do NOT use the tool when
the gear case is unlocked.
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.
WARNING: Never use solvents or harsh
chemicals to clean non-metal parts of the
tool. These chemicals may weaken the
