How to use

Ensure the grinder is connected to a suitable AC power supply and fitted with a compatible 125 mm disc rated for the intended material and speed. Secure the workpiece and wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves and hearing protection. Hold the tool with both hands, maintaining a firm grip and steady pressure while allowing the disc to reach operating speed before contacting the material. Move the grinder evenly across the surface, avoiding excessive force or side-loading the disc. After use, switch off the power and allow the disc to stop fully before setting the tool down or changing accessories.

Usage recommendations

Use only discs and accessories that match the 125 mm diameter and are rated for at least the grinder’s maximum speed. Regularly inspect discs for damage, maintain vents to avoid motor overheating, and follow local electrical safety practices. For prolonged tasks, allow periodic breaks to prevent overheating and reduce user fatigue.
