Operating Instructions

Wire Brush Operations

Wire brushes are intended to “clean”

structural steel, castings, sheet metal, stone

and concrete. They are used to remove rust,

scale and paint.

Avoid bouncing and

snagging the wire brush,

especially when working corners, sharp

edges etc. This can cause loss of control

and kick-back.

Brushing Pressure

1.Remember, the tips of a wire brush do

the work. Operate the brush with the

lightest pressure so only the tips of the

wire come in contact with the work.

2.If heavier pressures are used, the wires

will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping

action; and if this is continued, the life of

the brush will be shortened due to wire

fatigue.

3.Apply the brush to the work in such a way

that as much of the brush face as possible

is in full contact with the work. Applying

the side or edge of the brush to the work

will result in wire breakage and shortened

brush life.
