How to use

Before use, fit a compatible 125 mm disc and ensure the disc type matches the intended material and task. Secure the disc according to the manufacturer's instructions and check that the guard is correctly positioned. Hold the grinder with both hands, using the main handle and supporting handle if provided, and allow the motor to reach full speed before applying the disc to the work surface. Use steady, controlled motions and avoid excessive pressure; let the tool do the work. After finishing, switch off the tool and wait for the disc to stop completely before setting the grinder down. Always disconnect from the power supply before changing discs or performing maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective operation, use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection, and gloves. Choose discs certified for 125 mm grinders and suitable for the material you are processing. Due to the sound power level, limit continuous exposure and consider using noise-dampening measures in enclosed spaces. Inspect discs for cracks or damage before each use and follow local safety regulations when grinding or cutting metal and masonry.
