Lotus Angle Grinder Safety Handling 

🔴 RULE 1: Unplug the grinder before you touch the disc, guard or spindle. Never change, tighten or adjust anything while the cord is in the socket. Pull the plug first, every time, so the motor cannot start by accident.

🔴 RULE 2: Never change the disc until the motor has fully stopped. Wait for the spindle to stop spinning, then use the wrench and the spindle lock. Do not use the lock while the disc is still turning, because it can damage the gears.

🔴 RULE 3: Always check that the disc is tight and the guard is fixed before every use. The disc must sit flat against the flange, with the M10 nut snug. A loose disc wobbles, wears the spindle and can wreck the gear head.

🟡 4. Use only 100 mm (4 inch) discs rated for at least 11,000 rpm. A wrong size or low-rated disc overloads the spindle and the guard.

🟡 5. Inspect the disc before mounting it. Replace a cracked, chipped, warped or worn-down disc, and keep spare discs dry and flat.

🟡 6. Pick the right disc for the material. Cutting discs for cutting and grinding discs for grinding. A wrong disc strains the motor and overheats the gear head.

🟡 7. Keep the wheel guard on at all times. It protects the tool body and bearings from sparks and broken disc pieces.

🟡 8. Do not force the cut. Let the motor reach full speed, then guide the disc without leaning on it. Heavy pressure slows the motor, heats the windings and shortens the life of the brushes.

🟡 9. Give the motor rest breaks. Long non-stop use on tough jobs overheats it. Let it run free for a short moment, then rest it before the next cut.

🟡 10. Check the cord before each use. Look for cuts, burns or loose plug pins. Keep it away from the disc and the cutting line, and never carry or pull the grinder by the cord.

🟡 11. Keep the vents clear of dust. Tile, concrete and drywall dust clogs them quickly. Unplug first, then blow or brush the dust out, so air can still cool the motor.

🟡 12. Check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace them when worn or chipped, and use the spare pair from the box. Never run the grinder with a broken brush, because it damages the commutator.

🔴 13. Do not put the grinder down until the disc has completely stopped. A spinning disc can catch the surface, jump and damage the tool and the disc.

🟡 14. Protect it from drops, knocks and water. Do not throw or drop it, and keep it out of wet places. Moisture and heavy impacts damage the housing, switch and windings.

🟡 15. Test the side switch before work. It should move smoothly and switch off cleanly. If it sticks, do not use the grinder until it is repaired.

🟡 16. Clean and store after use. Unplug, wipe dust off the body and spindle, and take the disc off if you won't use it soon. Keep the wrench, guard, handle and spare brushes together in a dry place.

🔴 17. Stop if something feels wrong. Heavy vibration, a burning smell, smoke, unusual noise or sparks from the vents mean unplug the grinder and check it before using it again. If the problem stays, take it to a service centre.

🔴 for the most important rules and 🟡 for things to check or keep in mind.
