1.  Ensure the power cord is connected to a suitable 110V AC 

power outlet, and the red cable to the “Clean” socket.

2.  Make sure the brush tip has its insulating shroud and the 

insulation on the wand is undamaged.

3.  Turn the On/Off switch to ON. The On/Off switch should 

immediately be illuminated. If this does not occur, refer to 
the “Troubleshooting” section.

4.  Dip brush in cleaning fluid and apply brush tip to weld area 

to be cleaned. Use only recommended cleaning fluids, see 
S7.2.

5.  Ensure brush and work area remain wet with fluid  

during cleaning.

6.  Apply brush only for as long as necessary to remove 

discoloration. Prolonged application may affect  
surface quality.

7.  Some light sparking may occur where brush tip contacts 

workpiece, this is normal. Excessive sparking for a 
prolonged time in one area may cause surface pitting.

8.  When desired surface finish is achieved, turn the On/Off 

switch to OFF.

9.  After use put the brush down on a non-flammable surface 

as it may be very hot.

10.  Be careful touching the work as it may be hot.
11.  Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all traces of 

cleaning fluid. To ensure acidic residue is removed, use the 
recommended Ensitech neutralizing fluid, see S7.3.
