Lubrication - Stanley FatMax FME820 Manuel

Note: The guard is pre-adjusted to the diameter of the gear case hub at the factory. If,
after a period of time, the guard becomes loose, tighten the adjusting screw (10) with
latch in the closed position and guard installed on the tool.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the adjusting screw with the latch in the open position.
Undetectable damage to the guard or the mounting hub may result.
MOUNTING CUTTING WHEELS
performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
WARNING: To prevent accidental operation, turn off and unplug tool before
personal injury.
CAUTION: Matching diameter threaded backing flange and clamp nut (included with
tool) must be used for cutting wheels.
1. Place the unthreaded backing flange on spindle with the raised section (pilot) facing
up. The raised section (pilot) on the backing flange will be against the wheel when
the wheel is installed.
2. Place the wheel on the backing flange, centering the wheel on the raised section
(pilot).
3. Install the threaded clamp nut with the raised section (pilot) facing away from the
wheel.
4. Depress the spindle lock button and tighten clamp nut with included wrench.
5. To remove the wheel, grasp and turn the wheel while depressing the spindle lock button.
USING CUTTING WHEELS
WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface grinding applications
because these wheels are not designed for side pressures encountered with surface
grinding. Wheel breakage and injury may result.
1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to operate at high speed.
Cutting rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the workpiece, do not change the
angle of the cut. Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause
wheel breakage.
4. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop
rotating before setting it down.
Maintenance
CLEANING
WARNING: Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is a
necessary maintenance procedure. Dust and grit from metal grinding often accumulate
on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not cleaned out.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT: • ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
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.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized service
centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
Stanley FatMax tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use. Tools

LUBRICATION

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 repair person such as those
at Stanley FatMax service centers or in other qualified service personnel.
