The Clarke 1801562 CHT562 Wire Brush Set is designed for cleaning rust, paint, and corrosion from metal surfaces. It is suitable for use on steel, aluminum, and other metals.
To attach the wire brush to a drill, insert the shank of the brush into the drill chuck and tighten it securely using the drill's chuck key or by hand if it's a keyless chuck.
Always wear safety goggles and gloves to protect against flying debris. Ensure that loose clothing and hair are secured away from the rotating brushes.
After each use, clean the wire brushes with a wire brush cleaner or a stiff bristle brush to remove debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent rusting.
While the brushes can technically be used on wood, they may be too abrasive and could damage the wood surface. It's better to use them on metal surfaces.
For optimal performance, use the wire brushes at a speed between 1,500 and 2,500 RPM. Always refer to the drill's manual for speed compatibility.
The set typically includes three brushes of varying sizes: a large circular brush, a smaller circular brush, and a conical brush for detailed work.
Ensure the brush is securely fastened in the drill chuck. If wobbling persists, check if the brush or shank is bent and replace if necessary.
Some shedding is normal, especially during first use. However, if excessive, it may indicate overuse or damage. Inspect the brush and replace if needed.
These wire brushes are designed for use with a drill, not an angle grinder. Using them with an angle grinder may damage the brushes and pose safety risks.
