Proper use
The angle grinder is designed for the cutting and
rough grinding of metal and masonry using the
appropriate cutting disk or rough grinding disk.
Please note that our equipment has not been
designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.
VOLTAGE
Before you use the machine for the first time, check
that the voltage marked on the rating plate is the
same as your mains voltage. Under no
circumstances is the mains voltage to differ from the
rated voltage by more than 10%.
