Operational Tips
•
When grinding against the profile roller, make
sure all covers are closed securely and spark
shield is properly positioned.
•
Use multiple light passes instead of a few
heavy passes to increase the life of abrasive
belt and decrease the need to deburr along
notch edges.
•
Make sure tube is firmly secured in vise and
any tube longer than 3' is supported at the
opposite end by another person.
•
Tube gets hot as you continue operation.
Cool it frequently by quenching in water or
quenching salt solution.
•
Change belts frequently and use correct grit
for best performance.
•
DO NOT force or jam tube into abrasive belt.
•
When not in use, release abrasive belt ten-
sion to increase life of belt.
•
Hot particles flying off of abrasive belt travel
very fast—prepare for this! Wear proper per-
sonal protective equipment (refer to Warning
box on Page 26 for additional details).
•
Grinding metal produces flying sparks. DO
NOT allow anyone to stand in path of sparks.
DO NOT grind near flammable materials or
fumes.
•
Concentrate on task at hand. STOP grinding
if you become distracted.
