Before using the surfacer or installing a
new wheel, inspect the surface grinding
wheel for chips, cracks or missing
segments. Remove damaged or worn
wheels immediately. Run the tool at no
load for one minute, holding the tool in
the direction away from people. Wheels
with flaws will normally break apart during
this time.
