• Industrial fabrication and maintenance tasks
• Removing weld seams and surface finishing

This tool may not be suitable for light-duty precision work or delicate sanding tasks where a smaller, more maneuverable grinder is required. Due to its weight of 6.3 kg and high power output, it is not intended for overhead applications or tasks requiring prolonged one-handed operation.

To operate the grinder, ensure the disc is securely fastened using the Quick system. Adjust the tool-free guard to the desired position to protect against debris.
