(grinding) wheel guard with a wheel-type wire brush with a
thickness greater than the maximum thickness as specified in
the Accessory and Guard Applications Chart , the wires
may catch on the guard leading to breaking of thewires.
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels install directly on the threaded
spindle without the use of locking flange. Use only wire brushes
or wheels provided with a M14 threaded hub. These accessories
