When using a grinding disc the angle between the grinding disc
and work piece should be between 30° and 40°.
Before placing the angle grinder on the workbench or floor it
must be switched off and the grinding disc must have stopped
rotating.
Angle grinders must not be used above shoulder height.
Grinding discs must not be run at a rotational speed greater
than that shown on the grinding disc.
Grinding discs must be used dry. Using water is highly
dangerous and could result in an electric shock.
