The work rest shall be securely clamped after each adjustment. The adjustment shall not be made with the wheel in motion: a) On or about August 21, 2023, at the establishment located at 3575 N. Main Street, Oshkosh, WI, the tool rest opening between the tool rest and the cut-off wheel was too large on the left and right side grinders of the Trimmer #1 stand grinder. b) On or about August 21, 2023, at the establishment located at 3575 N.
