Wire Brush (Wheels and Cups)
Avoid bouncing and snag-
ging the wire brush, espe-
cially when working corners, sharp edges etc.
This can cause loss of control and kick-back.
Wire brushes are intended to "clean" structural
steel, castings, sheet metal, stone, and concrete.
They are used to remove rust, scale, and paint.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching the tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work sur-
face, allowing the tool to operate at high
speed.
3. Continuously move the tool at a moderate
speed to avoid creating gouges in the work
surface.
4. Remove the tool from work surface before
turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotat-
ing before laying it down.
Tip: The tips of the brush do the work. Operate
wire brushes with the lightest pressure so only
the tips of the wire come in contact with the
work piece. If heavier pressures are used, the
wires will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping
action and a shortened brush life due to wire fa-
tigue. Applying the side or edge of the brush to
the work piece will result in wire breakage and
shortened brush life.
