Abrasive Wheel Machinery - Mounting

Because of the possibility that the abrasive grinding wheel could explode, the operator must inspect the wheel and check the speed of the spindle.

Immediately before mounting, all wheels shall be closely inspected and sounded (ring tested) by striking the wheel and listening for any abnormal sounds. This is done to ensure that the new wheel has not been damaged.

The spindle speed of the machine shall be checked before mounting of the wheel to be certain that it does not exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel.

Always ensure that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed to properly mount the wheel.

The operator should also always ensure that the machine guards are in place. Exceptions are discussed on the next screen.
