Mandrels
A mandrel is a shank with a threaded or
screw head, and mandrels are required when
you use polishing accessories, cutting
wheels, sanding discs, and polishing points
The reason mandrels are used is thatsanding
discs, cutting wheels and similar accessories
must be replaced frequently The mandrel is a
permanent shank, allowing you to replace
only the worn head when necessary, thus
saving the expense of replacing the shaft
each time

_Allow brushes to run at
operating speed for at
least one minute before using wheel.
Duringthis time no one is to stand in front
or in linewith the brush, do not run in
excessof 15,000 RPM.
CuttingWheels
These thindiscs of emery or fiberglass are

BX cable, small rods, tubing, cable and
cuttingrectangular holes in sheet metaf
_When using steel saws,
cutoff wheels, high speed
cutters or tungsten carbide cutters,
always have the work securely clamped,
Never attempt to hold the work withone
hand while using any of these
accessories, The reason is that these
wheels will grab if they become slightly
canted in the groove, and can kickback
causing loss of control resulting in
serious injury. Your second hand should
be used to steady and guide the hand
holding the tool. When a cutoff wheel
grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks°
When the steel saws, high speed cutter or
tungsten carbide cutter grab, it may jump
from the groove and you could lose
control of the tool.
