Frequently Asked Questions
What are Festool cordless angle grinders used for?
Festool cordless angle grinders can be used for compatible cutting, grinding, deburring, surface preparation, and material-removal tasks. The appropriate accessory and tool configuration depend on the material and application.
Are cordless angle grinders suitable for professional work?
A cordless angle grinder can be suitable for professional applications when its specifications, battery system, accessories, and operating limits match the work being performed. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the particular model.
What should I check before buying a Festool cordless angle grinder?
Consider the intended application, supported disc and accessory specifications, battery and charger compatibility, ergonomics, tool configuration, and expected workload before choosing a model.
Can I use any grinding or cutting disc with a cordless angle grinder?
No. Accessories must meet the grinder's requirements for size, mounting, operating speed, and intended application. Check the product documentation and accessory manufacturer's instructions before use.
Are Festool cordless angle grinders battery powered?

Why choose a cordless angle grinder instead of a corded model?
A cordless grinder provides greater freedom of movement and avoids managing a mains power cord during use. This can be useful on mobile jobsites, renovation projects, installations, and work areas where access to an outlet is limited.
What safety equipment should I use with an angle grinder?
Use the manufacturer's required guard and compatible accessories, and wear appropriate protective equipment such as eye and hearing protection. Additional protection may be necessary depending on the material and application. Always follow the manufacturer's safety instructions.
