1 Scope
The purpose of this standard is to establish the rules and specifications for safety that apply in the design, use, and care of power- driven brushing tools. It includes specifications for shanks, adapters, flanges, collets, chucks, and safety guards and rules for the proper storage, handling, mounting, and use of brushes. It embraces all configurations of brushing tools whose functional performance is accomplished by power-driven operation. Covered are brushing tools whose brushing elements are made up of ferrous wire, nonferrous wire, plastic, abrasive filaments, vegetable fibers, animal hair, or other materials, and brushes fabricated with any combination of such elements. Brushing tools whose primary function is vehicle or train washing, carpet sweeping, dental hygiene, floor maintenance, sewer cleaning, street sweeping, and brushing tools manufactured in accordance with other applicable American National Standards are not covered.

3 Definitions
3.1 General definitions 3.1.1 brush: For brevity in this standard, used interchangeably with “brushing tool,” “power-driven brushing tool,” or “power- driven brush.” 3.1.2 shall and should: The word “shall”, where used, is to be understood as mandatory, and “should” as advisory. 3.1.3 revolutions per minute (rpm): The number of complete turns that a brush makes in one minute.3.1.5 the brush manufacturer: Any individual, partnership, corporation, or other form of enterprise that manufacturers or assembles any kind of power-driven brushing tools. 3.1.6 the brush machine or power tool builder: – Any individual, partnership, corporation, or other form of enterprise that is engaged in the development, or manufacture, or both, of any type of machine or power tool that uses power-driven brushing tools. – One who converts, changes, or otherwise alters the original design of such machines or power tools. 3.1.7 the user: Any individual, partnership, corporation, or other form of enterprise that uses any kind of power- driven brushing tools or brush machines.3.1.8 maximum safe free speed (MSFS or max. SFS): Synonymous with maximum safe rpm (free rotation). The maximum speed at which the brush shall be rotated with no work applied (spinning free) to ensure safe operation. All brush manufacturers have the responsibility of determining the MSFS for their products. A recognized criterion for establishing this value for each brush is described in 8.3. 3.1.9 operating face width: The width of the face of the brush, measured at operating speed. 3.1.10 fill or fill material: The filaments that do the brushing in a brush. Fill material can be ferrous or nonferrous wire, abrasive loaded plastic, plastic, composites, vegetable fiber, animal hair, or other materials. Sometimes the fill is a combination of two or more different fill materials, such as wire, tampico, horsehair, plastic, vegetable fiber, and pig bristle. 3.1.10.1 crimped plastic fill material: Synthetic fill material whose linear configuration is not straight or level, but is corrugated in appearance from having been passed through gears or other devices. 3.1.10.2 abrasive loaded plastic fill materials: Synthetic fill material made of plastic monofilaments that have abrasive grit homogeneously dispersed throughout. 3.1.10.3 straight or level plastic fill material: Synthetic fill material that is straight before being used in a brush or before being formed into a tuft or other configuration as part of a brush.
