reduction of the wheel radius as it wears down. Refer to the Accessories Chart for more information. Edge grinding/cutting with a Type 1/41 wheel requires usage of a Type 1/41 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.
