How to use

Before fitting, ensure the grinder is switched off and disconnected from power. Mount the disc on the machine according to the grinder manufacturer’s instructions, making sure the disc is rated for the grinder’s maximum speed. Secure the guard and handle, then restore power and allow the disc to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece. Use steady, controlled passes and avoid excessive side pressure. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves, and hearing protection. Inspect the disc for cracks or damage before each use and replace if any defect is found.

Usage recommendations

Verify material compatibility and maximum RPM before use. Use the correct guard and a suitable flange or backing flange for a secure fit. Maintain moderate feed pressure to avoid disc overload, and allow the disc to cool between prolonged cuts. Store discs flat in a dry place and avoid impacts or bending that could compromise integrity.
