Additional tips for working with angle grinders:
Use discs suitable for each material
Select discs specifically designed for the material you want to work with. For example, use cut-off wheels for metal, stone, or wood as appropriate.
Check the maximum speed of the disc
Make sure that the disc is compatible with the maximum speed of the tool. This prevents overheating and breakage due to excessive centrifugal force.
Pre-use inspection
Before attaching the disc, check for cracks, damage, or warping. A faulty disc increases the risk of accidents.
Hold the disc firmly but without overdoing it
Make sure that the lock nut is tight, but avoid applying too much force, as it could deform the disc.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
Safety glasses, sturdy gloves, and hearing protectors are a must when working with grinders.
Regularly
clean the grinder housing, inspect power cords, and replace worn parts to ensure optimal and safe performance.
Correct storage of discs
Store discs in a dry and flat place to avoid deformation caused by moisture or the weight of other objects.
Following these recommendations not only extends the life of your tools and discs, but also ensures your safety on the jobsite. Proper disc placement is a crucial detail that can make the difference between a successful job and an avoidable accident.
