English CLEANING AND DISPOSAL 1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently. 2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate work area. 3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before being used again. Mounting and Using Wire Brushes and Wire Wheels Wire cup brushes or wire wheels screw directly on the grinder spindle without the use of flanges. Use only wire brushes or wheels provided with a 5/8"-11 threaded hub. A Type 27 guard is required when using wire brushes and wheels. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, wear work gloves when handling wire brushes and wheels. They can become sharp. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, 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. MOUNTING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. 1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand. 2. Depress spindle lock button and use a wrench on the hub of the wire wheel or brush to tighten the wheel. 3. To remove the wheel, reverse the above procedure. NOTICE: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, properly seat the wheel hub before turning the tool on. USING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS (FIG. 16, 17) Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale and paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces. NOTE: The same precautions should be taken when wire brushing paint as when sanding paint (refer to Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint). 1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface. 2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high speed. Material removal rate is greatest when the tool operates 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. FIG. 16 FIG. 17 5˚-10˚ 17
