一、What is cutting wheels ?
Cutting wheels (aka cut-off discs) are an abrasive tool used for fast cutting of materials like metal, concrete, and stone. Their portability allows the operator to move around freely with it and maneuver their tools from different angles to easily cut a material.
二、 Product structure:
三、Works well on the following Materials:
Multi-function-Suitable to cut various materials

四、the shape of cutting wheel
The Type 27 Cut Off Wheel ,also called T42 cutting wheels must be used with an appropriate guard and a depressed center back flange.
The center hub protects the user from cutting too deeply. The hub also allows for avoiding reinforcement wear and for extra rigidity for additional safety.
The Type 27 (Type 42) produces 20% less cuts than the Type 41 on average.
五、What should I look for?
■ Only products conforming to EN 12413 and marked as such should be used
■ Reinforced resinoid wheels not bearing EN 12413 may not conform the highest safety standards
■ Before selecting the wheels, ensure that the expiry date has not been exceeded
■ All wheels should be examined carefully for damage or defects before fitting on the machine.
六、How should I fit the cutting wheel on the machine?
■ Follow carefully the instructions given in the machine handbook.
■ Never fit a wheel which is loose or too tight on the flange.
■ Align the outer flange correctly as shown in the FEPA Safety leaflets for cutting and cutting discs for angle grinders
■ Tighten only with the tool supplied with the machine.
■ Ensure the wheel is properly gripped to prevent slippage, but do not tighten with excessive force. Never use a hammer.
■ Keep flanges and screw threads clean and free of burrs and rust.
■ Replace distorted or damaged flanges before fitting the wheel.
■ Run all wheels after fitting for at least 30 seconds at operating speed keeping behind the guard in case the wheel breaks.
七、How should I handle and store the wheels?
■ All abrasives wheels are fragile. They should be handled with care.
■ Wheel should be stored on a flat, rigid surface, avoiding damp and frost or wide variation in temperature.
■ Use the oldest wheels (on “first in, first out” basis)
八、How should I protect myself?
Eye protection
Ear protection (ear sets)
Hand protection (gloves)
Lung protection (dust mask, also called respirator)
■ Never remove the protective machine guard and make sure it is properly adjusted to deflect debris away from you.
■ Ensure that no other person is at risk, especially near the machine while working.
九、How should I handle the cutting wheel after use?
■ Before storing the machine or transporting it to another location, always remove the wheel and store it as recommended.
■ Always carefully examine the wheel for damage or defects, and destroy and discard if damaged.
■ Do not fit worn out wheels on a smaller machine. Destroy them.
■ If the wheel does not bear a legible expiry date, or has exceeded this date, dispose it as recommended below.
■ When disposing of worn out or defective wheels, it is recommended to damage them to prevent someone from removing them from waste and re-using them.
