The greatest efficiency and lowest over - all abrasive cost can be realized only if proven care and use techniques become standard practice . Be sure to read any safety material/ guidelines provided with the abrasive product . Always check the wheel for cracks or damage before use . Before mounting the wheel, use a tachometer to measure the spindle speed .   Ensure the mounting flanges, backplate or adapter supplied by the machine manufacturer are used and kept in good condition . ANSI Safety Requirement B7 . 1 provides wheel mounting require - ments . Check mounting flanges for equal and correct diameter and use blotters when supplied . When not using the wheel, store the wheel in its original packing materials .   This protects the wheel from chips and cracking, as well as provides easy identi - fication of the wheel . For more information on product safety, ask your DGI Supply for these publications: “Primer on Grinding Wheel Safety”   (form 474) Portable Grinding Safety (form 1406) ANSI B7 . 1 “Safety Requirements for the Use, Care and Protection of Abrasive Wheels” Federal Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910 . 95, 1910 . 132, 1910 . 133, 1910 . 134, 1910 . 138 and 1910 . 1200 . Material Safety Data Sheets Norton Safety Videos Other applicable regulations Always mount, true and dress the wheel in conformance with the guidelines   published in the ANSI Safety Requirements B7 . 1 . Ensure the correct wheel guard is in place before starting the wheel . Allow the wheel to come up to full operating speed before starting to grind for a minimum of one minute, and stand out of the plane of rotation . NEVER use a high speed air sander as a portable grinder . NEVER exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel being used .   The following formula may be
