HOW SHOULD YOU MOUNT STRAIGHT WHEELS?

• Inspect and conduct "a ring test" to look for damages before mounting a wheel.
• Compare the machine speed to the speed marked on the wheel before mounting the wheel. Never exceed the speed marked on the cup wheel.
• Disconnect portable machines from their power source before you begin mounting or removing wheels.
• Check the flanges for distortion or abrasion. When flanges are distorted or warped, the contact area is reduced.
