tending beyond the sanding pad presents
a laceration hazard and may cause snag-
ging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown
by the brush even during ordinary op-
eration. Do not overstress the wires by ap-
plying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing
and/or skin.

wire brushing, do not allow any interfer-
ence of the wire wheel or brush with the
