Wheel Care
When grinding, your safety depends, to a large
degree, on the condition of the wheel. A wheel in
poor condition presents the possibility of breaking
apart during rotation and injuring the operator and
others in the area.
Tips to help you avoid breaking the wheel:
•
Always transport, store and handle wheels
with care. Wheels may be damaged if they
are dropped or if heavy objects are stacked
on them.
•
Select the right grinding wheel for the job.
DO NOT grind material inappropriate for the
wheel type.
•
Only use wheels that are rated for the RPM
of the tool grinder.
•
Mount the wheel properly (see Installing/
Removing Grinding Wheel on this page).
•
Do not push the tooling into the grinding
wheel with such force that it causes the grind-
er to bog down. And do not apply pressure to
stop the wheel after turning the grinder OFF.
•
Dress the wheel when necessary. Do not allow
it to become glazed (see Wheel Dressing on
Page 18).
•
Do not store wheels in damp or wet locations.
•
Do not overtighten the nut when mounting the
wheel.
•
Do not leave the wheel mounted when
machine is not in use.
