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.
