Checking the Cut-off Wheel
WARNING!
Never use a wheel which
has breakage, cracks or distortion.
The wheel may break while operat-
ing and may result in serious injury.
Always check the condition of the cut-off
wheel before starting the engine. Make
sure there are no breaks, cracks or warps.

A faulty wheel must be replaced with
a new one!
The tips of a diamond wheel should be
sharpened regularly to maintain cutting
efficiency. See page 16.
