How to use

Before mounting the wheel, inspect it for visible damage and ensure the machine is switched off and isolated. Fit the wheel to a compatible machine spindle with a 32 mm arbor and secure according to the machine manufacturer’s instructions. Use appropriate guards and set the machine to the recommended operating speed; do not exceed the wheel’s maximum permissible speed printed on the disc. Apply steady, controlled pressure and keep the contact area moving to avoid local overheating or excessive wear. After use, allow the wheel to stop naturally and store in a dry, stable environment.

Usage recommendations

Always use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and gloves. Select a machine speed that matches the wheel’s rated speed and the material being worked. For best results on welds and metal shaping, progress from coarse to finer operations with the correct wheel grade and follow up with finishing abrasives or polishing as needed.
