uSING cuTTING WheelS
WARNING
: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface grinding
applications because these wheels are not designed for side pressures encountered with
surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury may result.
1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to operate at high speed.
Cutting rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the workpiece, do not change the
angle of the cut. Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause
wheel breakage.
4. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop
rotating before setting it down.
