WARNING

Risk of Serious Injury or Death

Wrong insert tool can burst and cause serious injury or death.

  • Use an insert tool with a max operating speed higher than or equal to the tool speed.

  • Do not use any other insert tool than specified by the manufacturer (no cutting off wheels or router bits).

  • Use only recommended sizes and types of abrasives.

  • Do not use mounting wheels that are chipped or cracked, or may have been dropped.

  • Correct mounting is necessary to prevent injury from broken mounted wheels

  • Make sure that the shaft diameter of the accessory is correct for the size of the collet.

  • Do not mix mm shanks with inch collets and vice versa.

  • Observe a minimum of 10 mm axial grip of the shank.

  • When fitting mounted wheels or burrs, reduce the overhang by pushing the shank all the way into the collet. (Check also the recommendations given by the tool manufacturer)

  • Observe that increased overhang of shank reduces the permissible speed.

  • Before starting the machine, check that the collet is tightened correctly.

  • Do a test run of every new mounted wheel in a safe position for 30 seconds. Use a barrier such as under a heavy work table to stop any possible broken wheel parts. Stop immediately if the vibration is excessive.
