Mounting and Using Wire Brushes
and Wire Wheels
Turn off and unplug tool before making any adjustments or
removing or installing accessories. Before reconnecting the
tool, depress and release the trigger switch to ensure that the
tool is off.
Wire brushes and wire wheels must be rated above minimum
accessory speed as shown on tool. Use only wire brushes and
wheels provided with a 5/8" – 11 threaded hub. A Type 27 guard is
required when using wire brushes and wheels.
CAUTION: Wear work gloves when handling wire brushes or
wheels. Wire brushes and wheels can become sharp.
MOUNTING WIRE BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand, seating the wheel
against the soft mount.
2. Depress the spindle lock button and use a wrench on the hub of
the wire brush or wheel to tighten the wheel.
3. To remove the wheel, depress the spindle lock button and use a
wrench on the hub of the wire brush or wheel to loosen it.
NOTE: Failure to properly seat the wheel hub against the soft
mount before turning the tool on may result in damage to the tool
or wheel.
USING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale and
paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces.
1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work
surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, to allow the tool to
operate 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.
