 SAFETY SYMBOLS
Safety symbols and signal words, as shown below, are used to emphasize all operator, maintenance and repair
actions which, if not strictly followed, could result in a life-threatening situation, bodily injury or damage to equip-
ment.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.

DANGER tion which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING This safety alert and signal word indicate a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION This safety alert and signal word indicate a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

This signal word indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, may result in property damage.

This signal word indicates a situation which, if not avoided, will result in
NOTICE damage to the equipment.

LOCAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

Enter any local safety regulations here. Keep these instructions in an area accessible to the operator and mainte-
nance personnel.

 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tool operators and maintenance personnel must always comply with the safety
precautions given in this manual and on the stickers and tags attached to the tool
and hose.

These safety precautions are given for your safety. Review them carefully before
operating the tool and before performing general maintenance or repairs.

Supervising personnel should develop additional precautions relating to the specific

work area and local safety regulations. If so, place the added precautions in the
space provided in this manual.

The GR29 Underwater Hydraulic Grinder will provide safe and dependable service if
operated in accordance with the instructions given in this manual. Read and under-
stand this manual and any stickers and tags attached to the tool and hoses before
operation. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

• Operator must start in a work area without bystanders. The operator must be familiar with all prohib-
ited work areas such as excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.

• Establish a training program for all operators to ensure safe operation.

• Do not operate the tool unless thoroughly trained or under the supervision of an instructor.

• Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, ear and head protection at all times when operating the tool.

• Do not inspect or clean the tool while the hydraulic power source is connected. Accidental engage
ment of the tool can cause serious injury.

• Always connect hoses to the tool hose couplers before energizing the hydraulic power source. Be
sure all hose connections are tight.

• Do not operate the tool at oil temperatures above 140°F/60°C. Operation at higher temperatures can
cause higher than normal temperatures at the tool which can result in operator discomfort.

• Do not operate a damaged, improperly adjusted, or incompletely assembled tool.

• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all tool repair, maintenance and service must only be
performed by authorized and properly trained personnel.

• Always replace parts with replacement parts recommended by Stanley Hydraulic Tools.

• Check fastener tightness often and before each use daily.

• Do not tighten or loosen the wheel nut by impact. Hold the shaft with a second wrench on the the flats behind the wheel
and tighten securely.

• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times.

• When working near electrical conductors, always assume that all conductors are energized and that insulation, cloth-
ing and hoses can conduct electricity. Use hose labeled and certified as non-conductive when using the tool on or near
electric lines.

• Always hold the tool with both hands when the unit is running. Use a firm grip.

• Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating wheel.

6
 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Keep the wheel off all surfaces when starting the grinder.

• Always carry the tool with the wheel stopped.

• Make sure the wheel has stopped before setting down the tool.

• Keep the handles clean and free of fluid at all times.

• Always inspect wheels for possible damage before installation.

• Never transport or store the tool with the wheel mounted on the grinder.

• Never cock, jam or wedge the wheel during operation.

• Never cause sparks in the vicinity of flammable materials.

• Do not operate the tool with the wheel guard removed.

• Do not start grinding until you have a clear work area and secure footing.

• Do not allow other persons near the tool when starting or cutting.

• Never operate the tool when you are tired or fatigued.

• Do not use a wheel that is cracked or otherwise damaged.

• Always use wheels that conform to the specifications given in the Operation Section of this manual.

• Do not reverse wheel rotation direction by changing fluid flow direction.

 OPERATION
TOOL OPERATION

For best results, use only Stanley approved accessories.

They have been designed and selected to get the most
from the tool.

Review the Safety Precautions given at the front of this

manual before operating the tool.

Remember to grip the tool with both hands at all times dur-
ing startup and operation and be sure you have full balance
before starting grinder rotation. Always keep your body
away from the “plane of rotation” of the grinding wheel.

Always start the grinder with the wheel away from the
work surface. Start hydraulic flow at one gpm and slowly
increase flow to a level that produces desired efficiency, but
allows the operator to maintain full balance and control.

WARNING
Starting the hydraulic grinder on the work with full
hydraulic flow can push the operator off balance,
creating a condition that can cause severe personal
injury.

Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual to iso-

late other possible conditions that can lower tool efficiency.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

If the grinder is to be used during cold weather, preheat the

hydraulic fluid at low engine speed. When using the nor-
mally recommended fluids, fluid temperature should be at
or above 50° F/10° C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) before use.

Damage to the hydraulic system or grinder can result from

use with fluid that is to viscous or too thick.

12
 TOOL EQUIPMENT & CARE

NOTICE
In addition to the Safety
Precautions on page in this
manual, observe the following for
equipment protection and care.

• Make sure all couplers are wiped clean before connection.

• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the “OFF” position when coupling or uncoupling
hydraulic tools. Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick couplers and cause overheating
of the hydraulic system.

• Always store the tool in a clean dry space, safe from damage or pilferage.

• Make sure the circuit PRESSURE hose (with male quick disconnect) is connected to the “IN” port.
The circuit RETURN hose (with female quick disconnect) is connected to the opposite port. Do not
reverse circuit flow. This can cause damage to internal seals.

• Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts with replacement parts recommended by Stanley
Hydraulic Tools. Supply hoses must have a minimum working pressure rating of 2500 psi/172 bar.

• Do not exceed the rated flow (see Specifications) page in this manual for correct flow rate and
model number. Rapid failure of the internal seals may result.

• Always keep critical tool markings, such as warning stickers and tags legible.

• Tool repair should be performed by experienced personnel only.

• Make certain that the recommended relief valves are installed in the pressure side of the system.

• Do not use the tool for applications for which it was not intended.

13
 TROUBLESHOOTING
If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem. When diag-
nosing faults in operation of the grinder, always make sure the hydraulic power source is supplying the correct hydraulic
flow and pressure to the tool as listed in the table. Use a flowmeter known to be accurate. Check the flow with the hydrau-
lic fluid temperature at least 80° F/27° C.
