Erichsen GmbH hold the wheels by their outer edges.7. The refacing operation leaves the wheels
7、 with sharp corners that must be rounded off prior toconducting a test. This is accomplished by mounting a piece of scrap fabric on the Taber and running the wheels on the fabric while lightly holding a piece of S-11 abrasive paper against the corners. Caution: Only the extreme sharpness of the corners should be removed about 1 mm radius is sufficient. Do not round to excess.Chemicals, materials, parts, and equipment referenced in this document must be used and handled properly. Each party is responsible for determining proper use and handling in its facilities.
