DIAMETER. ALWAYS USE MOUNTING BLOTTERS.
Other Precautions: BE SURE WORK REST IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED. USE A SAFETY GUARD
COVERING AT LEAST ONE-HALF OF GRINDING WHEEL. ALLOW NEWLY MOUNTED WHEELS TO
RUN AT OPERATING SPEED, WITH GUARD IN PLACE, FOR AT LEAST ONE MIN UTE BEFORE
GRINDING OR CUTTING. TURN OFF COOLANT BEFORE STOPPING WHEEL TO AVOID CREATING
AN OUT-OF-B ALANCE WHEEL.
