Materials on which they can be used include masonry, metals and tiles. They can even be used to sharpen garden tools.<\/p>\n\n
The thing is of course, that while angle grinders are very useful, they can also be very dangerous if not handled carefully. So you need to know what is available, the uses, and how to use them properly.<\/p>\n\n
First of all, choose a grinder that is best suited to your project. Cutting large paving slabs, for instance, will be best accomplished with a large grinder a 2000W grinder driving a 230mm diameter since paving slabs are not only hard, but also thick as thick as 35-40mm or so.<\/p>\n\n
For smaller jobs, you can consider a grinder driving a 115mm or 125mm disc.<\/p>\n\n

\nChoose the proper discs\u2026 not only for the application, but also for the material on which you are working:<\/p>\n\n
\nYes, we know many of us do not but we must\u2026 read and ensure you understand all the instructions and guidelines, before using your grinder.<\/p>\n\n
\nYou must ensure that your workpiece is clamped in a vice or to a stable surface.<\/p>\n\n
\nAlways ensure that the guard is secured properly in position and make sure that the guard is properly secured.<\/p>\n\n
\nGrinders are sold with a detachable handle that bolts into the body, so that one hand is near the trigger, and the other grips the extra handle. On some models, the handle can be attached in any one of as many as three positions. ALWAYS USE BOTH HANDS!<\/p>\n\n
\nBefore using the grinder, safety first…<\/p>\n\n
\nMove the grinder across your work in the direction of the handle and keep it in the same vertical or horizontal plane, to avoid the disc jamming and the grinder kicking back. You could be injured and your work could be marred.<\/p>\n\n\n
