Check the speed of the disc before fitting to your angle grinder. Never
use a disc with a rpm speed less than the rpm speed of your angle grinder.

Inspect the disc before fitting.
Never use a disc that is chipped, cracked or
damaged. Fragments from a broken or damaged disc can cause serious injury.
Make sure that defective discs are destroyed and not used.

Handling and mounting discs.
Bonded abrasive products are breakable and shall
therefore be handled with utmost care. The use of damaged or improperly mounted
or used abrasive products is dangerous and can cause serious injuries.
