Safety
- Since the more common causes of wheel breakage have been traced to improper mounting, excessive speeds, abusive operation and/or careless handling of the grinder.
- Proper and regular maintenance service and inspection procedures obviously are of great importance in preventing wheel breakage.
- Regular inspection and maintenance procedures are a must and are the responsibility of the users.
- All portable type grinders should be inspected at regular intervals to ensure that the mounting flanges are in good condition, of the proper size and shape, that the speed governing device is functioning properly, and that no damage has occurred to the grinder or wheel as a result of abusive use or careless handling.
