How to use

Secure the brush to a compatible hand or machine holder according to the holder manufacturer's instructions. When using a machine, verify rotation speed limits for wire brushes and start at a low speed to assess contact behavior. Hold the brush at a moderate angle and apply steady, even pressure; do not force excessive pressure that could deform the filaments or damage the workpiece. After use, remove debris and store the brush in a dry place to avoid filament corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and a dust mask. Avoid using the wire brush on soft or fragile surfaces where filaments could cause scratches. Test on a small area before full application and follow the machine holder's safety guidelines for maximum allowable speed.
