26. Avoid using directional belts. Using belts with a
butt joint will outperform belts that have a lap
joint and do not require directional installation.
Lap joint belts are also prone to separation.
27. Use abrasive belts from respected belt manufacturers.
Not all abrasive belts are created equal. Belts that are
very inexpensive are usually manufactured cheaply.
Contact your OREGON® dealer for quality replacement
parts. Be sure to use the right size abrasive belts.
28. Know what you're grinding; avoid mixing
di erent metals, alloys and materials. Mixing
materials can crate a re or explosion hazard.
Exotic materials such as titanium, magnesium
and other chemically active materials have re
and explosion hazards that if ignored can result in
grave personal injury and/or property damage.
29. Ensure contact wheels and idler wheels are in good
condition and free from cuts or splits. If damaged
parts are found, immediately discontinue use
of the grinder and order replacement parts.
30. The use of stone or vitreous wheels on any OREGON
belt grinder is prohibited. The grinder guarding
is not suitable for these types of wheels.
31. Do not use this equipment when tired, ill or
under the in uence of alcohol or other drugs.
