Wire Wheels with Shank for Drills

Safety Precautions

1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

   • Wear safety glasses or a face shield to protect your eyes from debris.

   • Use gloves to shield your hands from wire bristles and sharp edges.

2. Clothing and Hair:

   • Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the rotating wheel.

   • Tie back long hair to prevent entanglement.

3. Secure Workpiece:

   • Ensure that the workpiece is securely clamped or held in place to prevent it from moving during operation.

4. Stable Work Surface:

   • Work on a stable and flat surface to maintain control over the drill and prevent unexpected movements.

5. Drill Speed:

   • Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the recommended drill speed. Operating at the correct speed helps maintain control and prevents excessive wear on the wire wheel.

6. Inspection of Equipment:

   • Before use, inspect the wire wheel for any damage, missing bristles, or signs of wear. Replace or repair any damaged parts before proceeding.

7. Direction of Rotation:

   • Ensure that the wire wheel is mounted in the correct direction according to the manufacturer's instructions.

8. Keep Hands Clear:

   • Keep your hands and body clear of the rotating wire wheel. Do not attempt to touch or stop the wheel while it is in motion.

9. Avoid Excessive Pressure:

   • Let the wire wheel do the work; avoid applying excessive pressure on the drill. Excessive force may lead to loss of control and increased wear on the wheel.

10. Proper Technique:

    • Use a controlled and steady technique when operating the drill with the wire wheel. Avoid sudden or jerky movements.

11. Ventilation:

    • Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling dust or debris created during the operation.

12. First Aid Kit:

    • Have a basic first aid kit on hand in case of minor injuries. Be aware of the location of emergency equipment.

13. Read Manufacturer's Instructions:

    • Always read and follow the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer for both the wire wheel and the drill.
