Using the Wire Cup Brush:
1. Plug in the power grinder and test the Wire Cup Brush by running at operating speed for at least one minute. During this test, look for vibration or fluttering of the brush, which may be caused by a dam­aged brush or improper installation. When you are confident that the power grinder and brush are running properly, the tool is ready for the workpiece.
2. When using the Wire Cup Brush on the workpiece, do not apply excessive pressure. Excessive pressure on the brush may cause excessive heat build-up and/or excessive bending of the wire filaments.
Note: Do not attempt to force a small brush to do the work of a larger industrial sized product. There are certain applications for which this product was designed. Do not modify this product and do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not intended.
Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Caution: Some woods contain preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When working with these materials, extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
Warning: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construc­tion activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-based paints, Crystalline Cilica from bricks and cement or other masonry products, Arsenic and Chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending 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. (California Health & Safety Code
25249.5, et seq.)
Warning: Exposure to aluminum oxide (a dust generated from material removing processes) can result in eye, skin and breathing irritation. Always use a NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) approved respirator and safety goggles. Avoid skin exposure. Proper ventilation in the work area is required.
