packaging,shallequal or exceed the ratedfree speed ofthe grinder.Also,the
type andsize of the grindingwheel or wire brush shall be compatible with the
grindersize and type.
DressingAbrasive Wheels.Uponmountinga grindingwheel,thetoolshouldbe
operated at gradually increasing speed and checked for good balance of the
wheel. Ifunbalanceisobserved,thewheel shall be dressed.Ifdressingfailsto
establish acceptable balance, the wheel shall not be used.

be placed onthe spindle followingthefirstblotter. Thewheel shall notfittoo snug-
ly nortoo freely on the spindle. The normal diametral clearance between the
wheel

same diameter as the drivingflange,shall followthe secondblotter.The outer
