center wheel a t an angle of about 1 5 O in
relation to the workpiece surface.
.During the break-in period with a new
grinding wheel, do not work the grinder

will cut into the
material. Once the edge of the wheel has
been rounded off by use, the wheel may
be worked in both A and B directions.
.Check for cracks in the depressed center wheel and for loose or missing screws.
