Special safety advice for working with wire brushes
a)Bear in mind that wire brushes lose pieces of wire during normal use. Do not overload the wires by applying too much pressure. Flying pieces of wire can very easily penetrate thin clothing and / or skin.
b)Use a guard, if recommended, but make sure that the wire brush does not come into contact with the guard. The diameters of disc brushes and cup brushes can increase due to contact pressure and cen- tripetal forces.
