Selection and Use
- The lower-speed Inox configuration is a specific feature of this model; do not substitute speed figures from another WEV 17-125 version.
- Match the wheel and attachment to the spindle, size and speed requirements.
- Use the variable-speed range to suit the abrasive and finish; avoid treating low speed as permission to fit an otherwise unsuitable accessory.
- Use the side handle and follow the tool’s operating instructions for mounting, dust control and protective equipment.
