How to use
To use the Norton Clipper FLEX 42 A 46 S, ensure your angle grinder is disconnected from the power source before mounting the disc. Place the disc onto the spindle, ensuring it is centered correctly, and tighten the locking nut firmly using the appropriate wrench. Once secured, verify that the guard is properly positioned. When grinding, hold the tool at a shallow angle to the workpiece to achieve the best results and prevent excessive wear on the disc. Always maintain a steady motion to ensure an even finish.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the compatibility of the 22.2 mm bore with your specific angle grinder model.
- Ensure the 115 mm diameter is suitable for your safety guard size.
- Check that the disc specification matches the hardness and type of metal you intend to process.
Usage recommendations
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, gloves, and hearing protection, when operating an angle grinder. Ensure the disc is not damaged or cracked before installation and never exceed the maximum operating speed recommended for the tool.
