See Section
Design and function
.
• Use only recommended sizes and types of abras-
ives
• Do not use mounting wheels that are chipped or
cracked, or may have been dropped
• Correct mounting is necessary to prevent injury
from broken mounted wheels
• Ensure the shaft diameter of the accessory is cor-
rect for the size of collet
• Do not mix mm shanks with inch collets and vice
versa
• Observe a min of 10 mm axial grip of the shank
• When fitting mounted wheels or burrs, reduce the
overhang by pushing the shank all the way into
the collet (Check also the recommendations given
by the tool manufacturer)
• Observe that increased overhang of shank reduces
permissible speed
• Before starting the machine, check that the collet
is properly tightened
• Test run every new mounted wheel in a safe posi-
tion for 30 seconds. Be sure to use a barrier (such
as under a heavy work table) to stop any possible
broken wheel parts. Stop immediately if vibration
is excessive
