How to use

Mount the Bosch X571 disc on a compatible angle grinder following the grinder manufacturer's instructions and ensure the disc diameter and bore match the machine. Securely tighten the flange and check the direction of rotation printed on the disc. Use appropriate feed pressure—avoid excessive force—to let the abrasive cut efficiently. Maintain steady movement and keep sparks directed away from flammable materials. Replace the disc if it shows signs of cracking, severe wear, or any damage to the backing or carrier plate.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment: safety goggles or face shield, hearing protection, gloves and protective clothing. Use suitable guards and follow safe operating speeds. Store the disc in a dry place away from direct heat or sunlight and do not use it on materials other than metal as specified.
