The Clarke 1801560 CHT560 is ideal for removing rust, paint, and corrosion from surfaces, as well as for surface preparation and edge blending on metalwork.
To attach the wire cup brush, ensure your drill is powered off, then insert the brush's shank into the drill chuck. Tighten the chuck securely to hold the brush in place.
Always wear safety goggles, gloves, and a dust mask when using the brush. Ensure that the workpiece is securely clamped and operate the drill at recommended speeds to avoid accidents.
Use a moderate speed setting on your drill, typically between 2500 and 4500 RPM, to ensure effective cleaning without damaging the surface or the brush.
After use, clean the brush by removing any debris or residue. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Inspect regularly for wear and replace if the wires become significantly worn or damaged.
It is not recommended to use the wire cup brush on wood as it may damage the surface. This tool is primarily designed for metal surfaces.
Stop using the brush immediately if wires start to bend or break. Inspect the brush for damage and replace it if necessary to prevent further issues or injury.
To ensure even wear, use consistent pressure and motion across the surface being cleaned. Avoid focusing on one spot for too long, and periodically check the brush for uneven wear.
Some sparking can occur when the brush contacts metal surfaces, especially if rust or paint is being removed. Ensure the work area is free of flammable materials and use appropriate safety gear.
Immediately power off the drill and securely retighten the chuck to hold the brush firmly. Ensure the drill is off and unplugged before making adjustments.
