Wire wheel brushes
Wire brushing (not provided) is a fast way to
remove rust scale, burrs, and paint from metal. Use
coarse wire brushes for hard cleaning jobs. Use
fine wire brushes for polishing and finish work.
When the brush tips become dull, reverse the
brush on the grinder.

Cleaning
Metal shavings may still be hot
from recent grinding operations. Make sure
shavings and debris are cold before cleaning
the grinder.
Avoid use of the following
cleaning chemicals or solvents: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia.
Brush all shavings from the motor housing, tool
rest, and wheel guard. Check grinding wheel for
cracks and chips. Replace if damaged.
Periodically use a cleaning stick (not provided)
against the belt and abrasive disc to remove build-
up.
If the abrasive belt becomes loaded, it can be
cleaned in a solvent. Allow to dry thoroughly before
reinstalling.
