Setup Instructions (cont'd)
Do not use an abrasive cutting wheel which has
cracks, chips, gouges, or evidence of damage from
handling or storage.
Failure to observe this warning could result in
severe injury or death.
Note: An abrasive cutting wheel is not sold as part of
the Greenlee Fairmont Rail Cut-Off Saw, but must
be purchased separately by the user of the tool.
Before mounting an abrasive cutting wheel, inspect it for
damage. Do not use a wheel which as cracks, chips
gouges or evidence of damage from handling or storage.
After visually inspecting the wheel, apply the "ring" test
per ANSI-B7.1:
1. Suspend the cutting wheel from the center hole on a
small pin or your finger.
2. Tap the wheel gently with a nonmetallic implement
such as a wooden screwdriver handle. Tap the
cutting wheel about 45˚ each side of a vertical center
line (four places) and about 1 to 2 inches from the
periphery (see figure 5).
A sound and undamaged wheel will give a clear
tone. If the wheel is cracked, there will be a dead
sound (not a clear "ring") and the wheel should not
be used.
3. Rotate the wheel 45˚ and repeat test.
If a wheel passes the visual inspection and the "ring"
tests it may be mounted to the arbor (see figure 6).
New or remounted wheels should run at operating
speed for one full minute before use.
Failure to observe this warning could result in
severe injury or death.
