B: All abrasive discs shall be immediately placed out of service and forwarded to the tool room with an accompanying RT-2 form.
C: The diamond blade is bi-directional. It will cut effectively in either direction. In fact, it should be flipped over after use. Disregard any directional arrows found on the early versions of these blades.
