WARNING!
Never use a wheel which has
breakage, cracks or distortion.
The wheel may break while
operating and may result in
serious injury.
Always check the condition of the cut-
off wheel before starting the engine.
Make sure there are no breaks, cracks
or warps. See Figure 28.
A faulty wheel must be replaced
with a new one!
The tips of a diamond wheel should be
sharpened regularly to maintain
cutting efficiency. See page 22.
