What is the purpose of the ball and chain?

How should I clean and maintain the brush?
After use, clean the brush to remove soot and debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Inspect for wear and tear before each use.
Troubleshooting
Brush is difficult to attach to rods.
Ensure your cleaning rods have compatible attachment fittings. Clean any debris from the brush's eyelet and the rod fitting.
Brush is not effectively removing soot.
Verify the brush diameter is appropriate for the chimney flue. Ensure adequate force is applied and consider multiple passes. Check if the thread is tangled, hindering brush movement.
Brush gets stuck in the chimney.
Carefully try to maneuver the rod back and forth. Do not force it. If still stuck, consider disassembling the rod sections if possible from above or below, or consult a professional chimney sweep.
Steel wire appears bent or damaged.
Inspect the brush for severe damage. If wires are significantly bent or broken, replacement of the brush head may be necessary to ensure effective and safe cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the chimney cleaning brush, securely attach the brush to one end of the 15-meter thread using the integrated eyelet. Attach the ball with its chain to the other end of the thread, again using the eyelet. This assembly can then be connected to appropriate chimney cleaning rods (not included) for manipulation within the chimney flue.
Compatibility: This brush is specifically designed for round chimney flues with a diameter of approximately 25 cm. Ensure this diameter matches your chimney for optimal performance. It is compatible with standard chimney cleaning rod systems that can interface with the brush's attachment points.
Care: After each use, thoroughly clean the brush to remove any loose soot or debris. A stiff brush or compressed air can be used. Inspect the steel wire for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Store the brush in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion. Periodically check the ball and chain for integrity.
