NOTE: The same precautions should be taken when wire brushing
paint as when sanding paint (refer to Precautions To Take When
Sanding Paint).
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the
work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to
operate at high speed. Material removal rate is greatest when the
tool operates 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.
CAUTION: Use extra care when working over an edge, as a
sudden sharp movement of grinder may be experienced.
