How to use
Before use, fit an appropriate 180 mm disc rated for the intended material and ensure the disc guard and side handle are correctly installed. Secure the workpiece and check that the cutting or grinding wheel is undamaged. Connect the tool to a compatible power source and start the grinder using the PROtection Switch; allow the disc to reach full speed before contacting the material. Use steady, controlled movements and avoid excessive side pressure on cutting discs. After finishing, release the switch and wait until the disc has stopped completely before setting the tool down. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidance for periodic inspection of brushes, guard, and wheel condition.
Usage recommendations
Use personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves and appropriate respiratory protection for dust-generating tasks. Select discs rated for the 180 mm diameter and for the material being worked. Avoid using cutting discs for heavy side grinding and ensure the guard remains in place. For prolonged or professional daily use, inspect consumable parts regularly and replace worn components to maintain performance and safety.
