• ALWAYS use guard with wire wheel brushes, assuring diameter of wheel fits inside guard. Wheel can shatter during use and guard helps to reduce chances of personal injury. Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy access to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle. Thread wire wheel brush onto spindle and tighten with the wrenches. When using wire wheel brush, avoid applying too much pressure which causes over bending of wires, leading to premature breakage. 001615 1 2 3 4 1. Lock nut 2. Abrasive cut-off wheel 3.
