(Read before installing the Grinding Wheels)
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER MACHINE MAINTENANCE
The most common cause of wheel breakage is due to improper mounting and abusive and/or careless
operation. Only through proper use, regular machine maintenance, service, and inspection procedures
can wheel breakage be prevented.
It is the responsibility of the user to inspect, at regular intervals, to be certain that mounting flanges are
in usable condition, are of proper size and shape and that no damage has occurred to the wheel or the
machine.
The following
DO’S
and
DON’TS
should be used as a guide to safer grinding.
