How to Use
1. Inspect the wheel, center plate and cloth layers. Confirm the 18 in / approximately 457 mm diameter, actual face width, bore and rated speed against the machine.
2. Mount with the correct flanges and guarding. During the no-load test, stand clear of the plane of rotation and stop immediately for wobble, abnormal vibration or damage.
3. Dedicate wheels to different metals and compounds where possible. the product page recommends white compound or mirror green compound.
4. Operating technique: after rough, medium and pre-mirror steps, use light continuous passes, recharge compound sparingly and avoid dwelling.
5. Maintain overlapping passes and control heat. Do not substitute excessive pressure for correct preparation or the correct compound.
6. Wear suitable eye/face protection, gloves and work clothing, and provide effective local dust extraction. Clean or dress the face after shutdown; do not reuse a damp, loose or damaged wheel.
