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.
6. Remove the tool from the work surface
before turning the tool off. Allow the tool to
stop rotating before setting it down.
