How to use

Hold the grinder with both hands using the main and auxiliary handles to maintain control. Start the machine and allow it to reach full speed before engaging the work surface. Apply steady, even pressure and keep the disc at an appropriate angle for the task; avoid excessive force that can overload the motor or damage the disc. After use, switch off and unplug the tool, allow the disc to stop completely, and store the grinder in a dry, safe place.

Usage recommendations

Use discs and accessories rated for 125 mm diameter and a 22.2 mm bore. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection, gloves and respiratory protection when working with dust-producing materials. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and follow safety guidance for the chosen disc type. For prolonged tasks, allow the motor to cool periodically to maintain performance.
