Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced wheel. 15. Use the specified surface of the wheel to perform the grinding. 16. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that sparks fly away from you and other persons or flammable materials. 17. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held. 18.
