Using the Makita 724116 - A - 25 cut - off wheels is straightforward. First, make sure your 5 - inch angle grinder is turned off and unplugged. Then, install the wheel onto the grinder following the grinder's instructions. When cutting, apply gentle and even pressure. This helps to get the best results and also extends the life of the wheel. Always wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from sparks and debris. As for maintenance, keep the wheels in a dry place. If there's any debris on the wheel after use, you can gently clean it with a soft brush. Avoid using the wheel if it's cracked or damaged, as this can be dangerous. And remember, these wheels are designed for cutting ferrous metals like steel and cast iron, so don't use them on other types of materials.
