How to use

Before use, check that the disc is rated for the intended material and the tool's maximum speed. Fit the appropriate 125 mm disc onto the M14 spindle and tighten according to the manufacturer's instructions. Connect the tool to a suitable AC power outlet and hold it with two hands, using the auxiliary handle if available for increased control. Start the grinder and allow it to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece. Use steady, controlled movements and avoid excessive pressure to prevent disc damage or motor overload. After finishing, switch off the tool and wait for the disc to stop completely before setting the grinder down or changing accessories.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, hearing protection, gloves and a dust mask when grinding or cutting. Select discs appropriate for the material and follow the disc manufacturer’s speed and application guidelines. Allow the motor to cool during extended use and inspect the power cord and tool for damage regularly to maintain safe operation.
