Use appropriate speeds for the chosen disc type and avoid forcing the grinder. Switch off the tool and allow the disc to stop completely before setting the grinder down or changing accessories.

Always wear suitable personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection, and cut-resistant gloves. Use discs rated for the stated maximum speed and follow local safety regulations. For extended operations, allow periodic cooling intervals and inspect the tool and accessories regularly for wear or damage to maintain safe and effective performance.
