How to use

Before use, check that the selected disc is suitable for the task and compatible with a 125 mm diameter grinder. Securely fit and tighten the disc according to the tool’s flange and locking system, and always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye, ear and hand protection. Hold the grinder with both hands, maintain a firm grip and allow the tool to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. Use controlled, steady passes and avoid applying excessive pressure; let the abrasive do the work. After finishing, turn off the tool and wait until the disc stops completely before setting it down.

Recommendations

For longer disc life and safer operation, select discs rated for the grinder’s maximum RPM, regularly inspect discs for cracks or wear, and follow maintenance guidelines such as cleaning air vents and checking brushes if applicable. Match accessory types (cutting, grinding, flap) to the material and task for optimal results.
