Mounting and Using Wire Brushes and Wire Wheels
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off and disconnect
tool be fore making any adjustments or removing or in stall ing ac ces sories. Before
reconnecting the tool, turn the switch on and off to ensure that the tool is off.
WARNING: Wear work gloves when handling wire brushes or wheels. Wire
brushes and wheels can become sharp.
NOTICE: 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.
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels screw direcly onto the grinder spindle without the
use of flanges. Use only wire brushes or wheels provided with a M10 threaded hub. A
Type 27 guard is required when using wire brushes and wheels.
MOUNTING WIRE BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.
2. Depress the spindle lock button (A) and use a wrench on the hub of the wire
brush or wheel to tighten the wheel.
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.
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.

the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting
it down.
