GRINDING WHEEL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and comply
with instructions, warnings and operator's manual before
starting to use this grinding wheel. Failure to heed these
warnings can result in wheel breakage and serious
personal injury. Save these instructions.
■
The use of any wheel other than the one recommended
in the machine instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury. Use only grinding wheels which have
marked speed equal or greater to that marked on the
machine.
■
Never use grinding wheel that is too thick to allow outer
flange to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger
wheels will come in contact with the wheel guards,
while thicker wheels will prevent the bolt from securing
the wheel on the spindle. Either of these situations
could result in a serious accident and can cause serious
personal injury.
■
This wheel is for grinding and shaping metal. Do not
attempt to do cut-off operation.
■
This grinding wheel is only suitable for dry grinding.
■
Do not use damaged grinding wheels, do not use wheels
that are chipped, cracked or otherwise defective.
■
Ensure that the abrasive grinding wheel is correctly
fitted and tightened before use.
■
Machine should never be connected to power supply
when you are installing or removing grinding wheels.
■
Store your spare grinding wheel carefully.
●
Keep the wheel inside the original package if
possible.
●
Store the wheel in a dry area at room temperature.
●
Wheels may be stored vertically on a shelf.
