to work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, to allow
the tool to operate 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.
