4. Check the receptacle
If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the
receptacle must be repaired. Contact a licensed
electrician to make appropriate repairs.
If such a faulty receptacle is used, it may cause
overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.
5. Check the work site and surrounding area
Be sure that the work area has been thoroughly
checked and prepared to avoid any unsafe conditions.
Review the SAFETY section of this manual.
6. Installing a wheel
WARNING
USING A WRONG SIZED WHEEL CAN CAUSE
WHEEL BREAKAGE AND RESULTING SERIOUS
INJURY.
In order to avoid this hazard, refer to the
following illustration to determine the proper
dimensions(s) of your wheel. Some guidelines:
(a) Dimension ℓ should always be less than 1/2"
(13 mm). Longer lengths can result in excess
vibration, wheel breakage, and the chance for
serious injury.
(b) When dimension d is 1/4" (6.35 mm), the diameter
of the wheel (dimension D) should be less than 1"
(25 mm). NEVER use a larger diameter wheel.
(c) When dimension d is 1/8" (3.175 mm), the diameter
of the wheel (dimension D) should be less than
3/8" (10 mm).
(d) Dimension L varies according to the dimension D.
Refer to the following table:
(e) The maximum mandrel length is 30 mm.
