Brushing operations must be performed with?
- A.
The arbor hole
- B.
The side of a wheel
- C.
The wire ends
- D.
The mounting bracket
Correct Answer
C. The wire endsExplanation
Brushing operations must be performed with the wire ends because the wire ends are the part of the brush that make contact with the surface being brushed. By using the wire ends, the brush can effectively remove dirt, debris, or other unwanted materials from the surface. The wire ends are designed to be durable and abrasive, allowing them to scrub away any contaminants. Using any other part of the brush, such as the arbor hole, side of the wheel, or mounting bracket, would not provide the same level of effectiveness in the brushing operation.Rate this question:

This makes it a safe choice for use in situations where there is a risk of fire due to sparks. Carbon, stainless steel, and other materials may produce sparks, increasing the risk of fire in such environments. Therefore, brass is the most suitable type of brush to use in this scenario.Rate this question:
