3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust
outside the work area.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly
cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter
bags should be changed frequently.
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along
with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed
in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash
pick-up procedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away
from the immediate work area.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be
washed thoroughly before being used again.
Mounting and Using Wire Brushes
and Wire Wheels
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels screw directly on the grinder spindle
without the use of flanges. Use only wire brushes or wheels provided with
a 5/8"–11 (B3) & M14 (AR, B2, B2C, BR hub. A Type 27 guard is required
when using wire brushes and wheels.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, wear work
gloves when handling wire brushes and wheels. They can become
sharp.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, wheel or
brush must not touch guard when mounted or while in use.
Undetectable damage could occur to the accessory, causing wires to
fragment from accessory wheel or cup.
MOUNTING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool
off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments
or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.
2. Depress spindle lock button and use a wrench on the hub of the wire
wheel or brush to tighten the wheel.
3. To remove the wheel, reverse the above procedure.
NOTICE: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, properly seat the
wheel hub before turning the tool on.
USING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS (FIG. 16)
Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale and paint,
and for smoothing irregular surfaces.
NOTE: The same precautions should be taken when wire brushing paint
as when sanding paint (refer to Precautions To Take When Sanding
Paint).
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work
surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to
operate at high speed. Material removal rate is greatest when the
tool operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 5° to 10° angle between the
tool and work surface for wire cup brushes.
4. Maintain contact between the edge of the
wheel and the work surface with wire wheels.
5. Continuously move the tool in a forward and
back motion to avoid creating gouges in the
work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the
work surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion
causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.
6. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off.
Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.
CAUTION: Use extra care when working over an edge, as a sudden
sharp movement of grinder may be experienced.
