Safety Warnings Specific
Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow interference of the wire
wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or
brush may expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.
