ABRASIVE DISCS
Purchase high quality abrasive discs which have the maximum external
diameter indicated in the technical data of the grinder, a suitable hole
which fits the requirements of the flanges, and which are suitable for
the maximum speed of the grinder and the materials to be processed.
Contact your retailer who will be able to give you the best advice. Our
company produces a wide range of accessories suitable for various
uses.
During use, the discs get worn, become damaged, lose their calibration,
expire after a certain date: always make a visual check before using
and replace if necessary.
For the assembly and replacement, go to the “INSTALLATION - Abrasive
disc assembly” chapter.
Handle and store the discs with care, do not subject them to impact,
bending, compression, moisture, high or low temperatures, and direct
sunlight.
USE
WARNING! It is forbidden to use the angle grinder with only
one hand.
Wear the personal protective equipment listed in the “Warnings”
chapter.
The workpiece must always be firmly secured to the workbench, using
a vice or other device, especially when working on small, lightweight
pieces.
Hold the device with both hands. The power cord must be kept far
from the rotating parts and from your body.
After assembling the accessory, start the tool keeping it far from your
body. When the tool is turned on, handle with caution, as any care-
lessness may cause even serious injury; therefore keep unauthorised
persons, children and pets away from the work area.
The correct position of the operator is with arms stretched forward,
the angle grinder straight with the disc facing forward and the disc
guard facing the operator.
When in contact with the part, the angle grinder will tend to move la-
terally with a force which is proportional to the pressure you will exert

on the work surface; contrast this movement in order to keep the angle
grinder in position. Furthermore, unexpected kickbacks are always
possible. See the “Warnings” chapter to prevent and contrast this.
Depending on the type of process, perform on the part carefully and
proceed gradually without making forceful movements. Excessive
pressure on the part could cause the accessory to break and tiny
fragments may unexpectedly be launched in your direction; in addition,
the power tool will be put under even more strain and it will not have
a long life span or may stop functioning. Avoid getting your face too
close to the work area and always keep a certain safety distance.
When using the angle grinder on metal parts, sparks may fly; this could
damage nearby objects or cause a fire/explosion if put in contact with
flammable elements.
When performing trimming operations, keep the angle grinder inclined
at 15°-20° against the surface on the workpiece.
Brushing on painted or oxidised surfaces, will produce a large quantity
of dust, even when working on metals and certain types of wood. The
dust is harmful to your health.
When sanding or polishing, do not apply excessive pressure, simply
use the weight of the angle grinder. When working on painted surfaces,
always proceed with caution in order no to scratch the surface; it is
advisable to perform a test on a part which is not highly visible.
Once you have finished, switch off the tool, place it on the bench and
remove the battery. Do not switch off the device while it is rotating
against the part; wait for it to stop rotating before placing it on the table.
