CAUTION:
Wheels used for edge grinding and cutting
may break or kick back if they bend or twist while
the tool is being used. In all edge grinding/cutting
operations, the open side of the guard must be
positioned away from the operator.
NOTICE:
Edge grinding/cutting with a Type 27 wheel
must be limited to shallow cutting and notching—
less than 13 mm in depth when the wheel is new.
Reduce the depth of cutting/notching equal to the
reduction of the wheel radius as it wears down. Refer
to the
Accessories Chart
for more information. Edge
grinding/cutting with a Type 41 wheel requires usage
of a Type 1 guard.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the
tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing
the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding/cutting rate
is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Position yourself so that the open-underside of the
wheel is facing away from you.
4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in
the workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut.
Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and
may cause wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels
are not designed to withstand side pressures caused
by bending.

5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning
the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying
it down.
