Safety Warnings Specific for
Wire Brushing Operations
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
the brush even during ordinary operation.
Do not overstress the wires by applying ex-
cessive load to the brush. The wire bristles
can easily penetrate light clothing and/or
skin.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by hand or against
your body is unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be care-
ful not to disassemble any portion of the
tool since internal wires may be misplaced
or pinched or safety guard return springs
may be improperly mounted. Certain clean-
ing agents such as gasoline, carbon tetra-
chloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic
parts.

Additional Safety Warnings
If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow any interference
of the wire wheel or brush with the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter
due to work load and centrifugal forces.
Do not use vacuum or other dust collection
system when cutting metal. Sparks from
metal cutting can cause fire in the collector.
Some
power
grinding, drilling, and other construction ac-
tivities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, de-
pending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
