This tool is equipped with Automatic Restart
Protection. This feature helps prevent
accidental startups after power has been
interrupted, e.g. the battery was removed with
the switch locked in the on position. To resume
operation, turn the side switch to the off
position, and back to on position to restart the
tool.
Make sure that the side switch is in the off
position before inserting or removing battery
pack. (Fig. 8). To insert the battery pack slide it
into the housing until the battery pack locks
into position.
Your tool is equipped with a secondary locking
latch to prevent the battery pack from
completely falling out of the handle, should it
become loose due to vibration.
To remove the battery pack, press the battery
pack release button and slide the battery pack
forward.
Press the battery pack release button again
and slide the battery pack completely out of
tool housing (Fig. 10).

INSERTING AND RELEASING BATTERY PACK
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.
