General Recommendations
2 Wipe any solvent spillage off Dandy attachments immediately.
3 Cleaning Brushes - Lower the brush and attachment into a bucket deep enough to contain all spray during
spinning. The top of the brush attachment should be at least 8cm below the rim of the bucket during
spinning.
Cleaning Rollers - Lower the roller sleeve and attachment into a bucket deep enough to contain all spray
during spinning. The top of the roller sleeve should be at least 10cm below the rim of the bucket during
spinning.
5 If the brush handle shape is such that there is no definite point of grip or the brush handle does not appear
to be held tightly it will be helpful to wrap some masking tape around the handle where the jaws locate to
assist grip.
2 To avoid electric shocks ensure hands and drill are dry. Switch off electrical supply immediately if the drill
becomes wet.
4 If using solvents or paints which irritate the skin or eyes or which may cause other damage, use appropriate
protective equipment.
5 A cardboard box can also be used to spin the paint brush or roller sleeve in Place a plastic bin liner around
the outside of the box - do not use it inside the box as it will wrap around the tool when spinning. Spin as
above.
3 If equipment vibrates in use switch off the electrical supply immediately and ensure that the brush or roller
sleeve is located correctly in attachment.
1 Usual precautions should be taken when using electrical tools in the vicinity of liquids.

1 Slide the attachment fully into the drill chuck and tighten securely.
Do not connect the drill to the electrical supply at this stage.
This tool can be used with most 10 - 100mm (½" to 4") wide Paint
Brushes in drills with a 10mm chuck capacity.
4 Remove the brush from the attachment by reversing step 2 above
and rinse in an appropriate solvent. Spin as in step 2.

empty bucket or other container and spin for 7 seconds.

Paint Brush Cleaning
2 Insert brush into the attachment ensuring that the brush handle
passes between the two Gripper Ends as shown. Ensure that the
tail of the brush handle enters into the Tail Retainer as indicated.
Tighten the gripper end by holding the chuck still while rotating the
brush head clockwise. This will cause the screw mechanism to
draw the Gripper End Piece into the tube which will compress the
Gripper Ends against the brush handle. Do not over tighten but
ensure that the brush handle is gripped tightly enough to hold the
brush whilst spinning. Ensure that the brush is located centrally
across the Gripper Ends. Connect the drill to the electrical supply.
4 Remove the roller sleeve from the attachment and rinse in an
appropriate solvent. Spin as in step 2.
5 Repeat 3 if necessary.
2 Remove the roller sleeve from the frame. Push the sleeve over the
Gripper Ends and on to the attachment. Push the roller sleeve over
the appropriate shoulder until it is gripped securely . Connect the
drill to the electrical supply.

Roller Sleeves from 50 to 450mm (2" to 18") long, in drills with a 10mm
