How to use

Before use, select a disc suitable for the intended material and confirm it is rated for the grinder's maximum RPM. Fit the disc securely according to the manufacturer's instructions and attach any auxiliary handle if available for greater control. Hold the grinder with both hands, start the motor and allow the disc to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. Apply steady, even pressure and move the tool along the work surface; avoid excessive force which can overload the motor or damage the disc. After completing the task, switch off the tool and wait for the disc to come to a complete stop before setting it down.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment: eye protection, hearing protection, dust mask or respirator and gloves. Ensure discs match the disc diameter and speed rating. Work in a well-ventilated area and secure the workpiece. Regularly inspect the power cord and ventilations slots for damage or blockages. For cutting tasks, use discs specifically designed for cutting and follow safe cutting practices.
