Use Eye Protection

Always use eye protection and face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.

Connect Dust Extraction Equipment

Connect and use provided dust extraction equipment for a cleaner and safer operation.

Do Not Abuse the Cord

Maintain Tools with Care

Keep tools sharp, clean, lubricated, and inspect cords for damage; replace if necessary.

Disconnect Tools

Disconnect tools before servicing or changing accessories to prevent accidental startup.

Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches

Always check and remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on.

Precautions on Using Disc Grinder

Use Wheel Guards

Never operate the disc grinder without the wheel guards properly fitted.

Check Wheel Speed Rating

Ensure the wheel's speed rating is equal to or greater than the grinder's rated speed.

Ensure Wheel Compatibility

Verify wheel dimensions are compatible with the grinder and it fits the spindle correctly.

Handle Abrasive Wheels with Care

Store and handle abrasive wheels according to manufacturer instructions to prevent damage.

Inspect Depressed Center Wheel

Inspect the wheel before use; do not use chipped, cracked, or defective wheels.

Hold Tool Firmly

Firmly hold both body and side handles to prevent inaccurate or dangerous operation due to counterforce.

Do Not Use Cutting-Off Wheels for Side Grinding

Cutting-off wheels are designed for cutting only, not for side grinding operations.

Avoid Bushings for Abrasive Wheels

Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters for large hole abrasive wheels.
