Rotate the wheel 45 degrees and
c.
repeat the test until the entire wheel
has been checked.
An undamaged wheel will give a
d.
clear tone. If cracked, there will be a
dead sound and not a clear ring.
Slip the grinding wheel onto the Spin-
5.
dle with a paper gasket, or blotter,
first. The blotter should be centered
on the grinding wheel and the wheel
and blotter should rest flat against the
Inner Flange.
WArning: to prevent serious
injury, blotters must be used for all
grinding wheels they are provided
with. Blotters help prevent grind-
ing wheel damage and wheel slip-
page, causes of wheel failure.
Thread the Outer Flange onto the
6.
Spindle. Wrench tighten only enough
so that the wheel is securely held on
the spindle.
WArning: to prevent serious
injury, do not overtighten flange.
Overtightening can damage the
wheel, causing wheel failure.

Guard in place, reposition the Guard
as needed to provide protection from
the wheel, and tighten the Nut again.
Do not remove the guard.
