Selecting Wire Brushes
Wire brushes are useful for removing rust, scale, burrs, weld slag, etc. A
wide variety of wire brushes are available for many applications.
Everyone in the area must wear protective clothing and safety
goggles or face shields. Fatigued wires and residue will fl y off
the brush with considerable force, causing the potential for seri-
ous injuries.

1. Unplug tool and place it upside down on a level surface. Remove any
accessories from spindle.
NOTE: Never use a guard with a wire cup brush.
2. Thread nylon washer onto spindle. Attach wire cup brush onto spin-
dle.
3. Press the spindle lock button while tightening brush with a wrench (not
provided with tool).
4. To remove wire cup brush, unplug tool and reverse procedure.
Because the wires on wire wheel brushes are directed towards the
operator, a Type 27 guard must be used to protect the operator
when fatigued wires break.

2. Thread nylon washer onto spindle. Attach guard and wire wheel brush
onto spindle (see Fig. 2 and 3 for attaching guard).
Position the guard in the location which offers best control and guard
protection. For operating zones that provide maximum protection for
the operator, see Fig. 9.
3. Press the spindle lock button while tightening brush with a wrench (not
provided with tool).
4. To remove wire wheel brush and guard, unplug tool and reverse
procedure.
Never exceed Maximum Safe Operating Speed of the brush.
Do not use a damaged brush or one which is function-
ing improperly (throwing wires, out-of-balance, etc.). These
conditions increase the possibility of further brush failure
and possible injury. Discard and replace damaged brushes
immediately.
Using Wire Brushes
1. Do not wear loose clothing when using wire brushes. The wires may
catch on loose clothing and pull the clothing into the moving parts.
2. Firmly grasp rear handle and side handle before starting and while
using tool. Always test the wire brush for balance and loose or damaged
wires by running tool at no load speed for at least one minute before
applying it to your work.
3. When applying brush to work, avoid using too much pressure. This
causes over-bending of wires and heat build-up resulting in premature
wire breakage, rapid dulling and reduced brush life.
Instead of using more pressure, try a wire wheel brush with more
aggressive cutting action (increased wire size, decreased wire length or
different brush type, i.e. knot type instead of crimped wire type).
