The Sealey Angle Grinder Stand, model SMS02, is a robust accessory designed to transform a standard angle grinder into a stationary cut-off saw. This conversion allows for precise vertical cutting, making it an invaluable tool for various workshop applications. The stand features a solid cast-iron base, ensuring stability and durability during operation.

Function Description:

The primary function of the SMS02 stand is to provide a stable and secure platform for an angle grinder, enabling it to perform as a cut-off saw. This setup is ideal for cutting various materials with enhanced accuracy and control compared to freehand grinding. The stand incorporates a vice mechanism that mounts directly onto the base, allowing users to securely clamp workpieces before cutting. This secure clamping is crucial for safety and achieving clean, precise cuts. The stand is designed to accommodate angle grinders with disc diameters of 100mm, 115mm, and 125mm, making it compatible with a wide range of Sealey angle grinders and many other branded models of similar size.

The operation involves mounting the angle grinder onto the stand's holders, adjusting its position to ensure the cutting blade is vertical to the base, and then securing the workpiece in the integrated vice. Once set up, the user can switch on the angle grinder and press down on the stand's handle to bring the cutting disc into contact with the workpiece. The design emphasizes controlled cutting, recommending a slight initial force followed by even pressure throughout the cut.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model No: SMS02
  • Base Size: 190 x 240mm
  • Maximum Cutting Depth: 18mm
  • Compatibility: Suitable for angle grinders with disc diameters of 100mm, 115mm, and 125mm.
  • Material: Solid cast-iron base for stability.
  • Vice: Integrated vice for securing workpieces.

Usage Features:

The SMS02 stand offers several features that enhance its usability and safety:

  • Precision Cutting: By converting an angle grinder into a stationary cut-off saw, the stand allows for precise vertical cuts, which is difficult to achieve freehand.
  • Workpiece Security: The integrated vice ensures the workpiece is securely held, preventing movement during cutting and contributing to safer and more accurate results. The vice can be adjusted for position and angle to accommodate different workpiece shapes and cutting requirements.
  • Adjustability: The stand includes adjusting screws for the top and bottom to ensure the cutting blade is perfectly vertical to the base. This adjustability is critical for maintaining cutting accuracy.
  • Compatibility: Its design allows for broad compatibility with various angle grinder sizes (100mm, 115mm, 125mm), making it a versatile addition to a workshop.
  • Safety Guard: While the stand includes a plastic guard for spark control, it is crucial to use an angle grinder fitted with its original manufacturer's metal guard for comprehensive protection against debris from a broken cutting wheel. The assembly instructions emphasize positioning guards between the cutting wheel and the operator.
  • Ease of Assembly: The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for assembly, including fixing the stand to the base, attaching grinder holders, and mounting the handle. Different screw sizes (M6, M8, M10) are provided to match various grinder fixing nuts.
  • Controlled Operation: The design encourages a controlled cutting process, advising users to apply slight initial force and then even pressure during cutting, which helps in achieving smoother cuts and prolonging disc life.
  • Workpiece Capacity: Capable of handling cuts up to 18mm in depth.

Maintenance Features:

Proper maintenance is crucial for ensuring the longevity and safe operation of the SMS02 stand:

  • Regular Inspection: Before each use, users are advised to inspect the cutting wheel for any damage, such as chips or cracks, and to check that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tight. Any damaged wheel must not be used.
  • Cleanliness: The work area should be kept clear of debris and obstructions. After use, the stand should be kept in a dry area and protected from rain.
  • Power Disconnection: Always unplug the angle grinder from the power supply before attaching it to the stand, performing any maintenance, or when the stand is not in use or being dismantled. This is a critical safety measure.
  • Tightening Fasteners: Regularly check and tighten all screws, nuts, and bolts to ensure the stand remains stable and secure during operation.
  • Storage: When not in use, the stand should be stored in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and damage.

Safety Precautions:

The manual highlights numerous safety precautions that users must adhere to:

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including eye protection, protective gloves, safety footwear, protective clothing (overalls resistant to fire, not nylon or polyester), ear protection, and a mask to protect from dust and sparks.
  • Work Environment: Ensure the work area is well-lit, clear of flammable materials, and free from obstructions. Sparks can damage paint, glass, and other surfaces, so precautions should be taken.
  • Footing: Maintain a stable footing while operating the tool.
  • Loose Clothing/Hair: Avoid wearing loose clothing, hair, or jewelry that could get caught in moving parts.
  • Bystanders: Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance.
  • Grinder Guard: Never use the grinder without its original manufacturer's metal guard in place, in addition to the stand's spark control guard.
  • Cutting Wheel Type: Only use cutting wheels designed for cutting, not grinding wheels, with the stand.
  • Workpiece Size: Do not attempt to cut materials that are too large to be safely held by the work clamp.
  • Cool Down: Allow the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before attempting to remove material from the clamp.
  • Power Cord: Keep the grinder's power cord away from the cutting wheel.

By adhering to these instructions and safety guidelines, users can ensure years of trouble-free performance from their Sealey Angle Grinder Stand SMS02.
