broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
c)
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For
example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
d)
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of 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.
e)
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.
