OPERATION
When using the grinder be careful not to exert excessive force. Too much force
could be hazardous if it causes the cutting tool spindle to bend or break.
The burning of the work piece or excessive speed reduction indicates too
much force being applied. Changing to a free cutting tool may be better for the
desired rate of speed and stock removal.
Avoid hazardous conditions by making sure there is sufficient force on the
spindle of the cutting tool by placing the spindle 7/16" or more inside the
collet.
