Special safety instructions
for working with wire
brushes
a) Be aware that the wire brushes
also lose wire pieces during typi-
cal use. Do not overload the wi-
res by pressing down too hard.
Flyingwirepiecescanveryeasilypenet-
rate thin clothing and/or your skin.
b) If a protective hood is recom-
mended, do not allow the wire
brushes and the protective hood
to touch each other. Thediameter
of plate and cup brushes can enlarge if
too much pressure and centrifugal force
is exerted.
