correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power

tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
may burst.
