Wheel.Care
When grinding, your safety depends, to a large degree,
on the condition of the wheel. A wheel in poor condition
could break apart during rotation and injure the operator
and others in the area.
Here are some tips to help you avoid breaking the
wheel:
•
Always transport, store and handle wheels with care.
Wheels may be damaged if they are dropped or if
heavy objects are stacked on them.
•
Select the right grinding wheel for the job. DO NOT
grind material inappropriate for the wheel type.
•
Only use wheels that are rated for the RPM of the
grinder.
Mount the wheel properly (see Wheel Removal &
•
Installation on Page 24).
•
Do not push the workpiece into the grinding wheel
with such force that it causes the grinder to bog
down. And do not apply pressure to stop the wheel
after turning the grinder OFF.
•
Dress the wheel when necessary. Do not allow it to
become glazed (see Wheel Dressing on Page 23).
•
Do not store wheels in damp or wet locations.
•
Do not overtighten the nut when mounting the
wheel.
