service centre.
nOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with Type
27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose; 6.35 mm
thick wheels are designed for surface grinding while thinner
Type 27 wheels need to be examined for the manufacturer's
label to see if they can be used for surface grinding or only
edge grinding/cutting. A Type 1 guard must be used for any
wheel where surface grinding is forbidden. Cutting can also be
performed by using a Type 41 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
