Grinding Wheels
These Angle Grinders use Type 27 grinding wheels. Refer to Specifications on Page 5 to match the grinder to the proper wheel. See Accessories on Page 11 for wheel options.
Always install a grinding wheel that is the correct size and RPM rating for your grinder. Failure to do so may cause injury from the grinding wheel failing and throwing pieces toward the operator at high speed.
