An angle grinder is a versatile handheld power tool used for grinding, cutting, polishing, and sanding various materials, especially in metalworking.
Angle grinders, also known as side or disc grinders, are heavy-duty power tools essential for metalworking, construction, and DIY projects. Originally invented in 1954, these versatile tools function by spinning an abrasive disc at high speeds to cut, grind, polish, or sand materials such as metal, concrete, and tile. Modern angle grinders are available in corded, cordless, and pneumatic variations depending on the demands of the job.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Always check your user manual to match the specific RPM rating and disc size. Use cutting discs for slicing metal, grinding discs for material removal, and flap discs for smoothing and finishing.
Consult your tool's manual for full safety guidelines. Generally, you must wear safety goggles or a face shield, heavy-duty work gloves, hearing protection, and appropriate work clothing to protect against sparks and debris.
First, ensure the grinder is unplugged or the battery is removed. Press the spindle lock button, use the pin spanner or wrench provided with your grinder to loosen the flange nut, replace the disc, and securely tighten the nut back in place.
Overheating can occur if you apply too much pressure, block the ventilation slots, or use the tool for too long without breaks. Let the grinder cool down by running it without load for a few minutes or turning it off completely.
