Explanation:
Power Tool Cleaning Definition:

Thanks to everyone for your help. I decided to use "needle blasting" but added a note for the customer that this needs further clarification.

pure guess


Explanation:
abnadeln could perhaps mean removal of asbestos (or other) needles (e.g. "Asbestnadeln) if it's a building with asbestos contamination.

Again, I'm only guessing. I've never heard the term.

stripping


Explanation:
also another total guess based on induction

stripping with a wire brush?

IN the first link it talks about loosening the paint so that it can be (abgenadelt).

lets see if I can find another

considering Tom\'s idea - perhaps it is high pressure water blasting

Hey guys!

I posted a message on bau.de and this is the response I got (so far):

hier dürfte die Nadelpistole gemeint sein 26.08.02 23:22:14 MET
diese kann für Kleinflächen als Alternative zum Sandstrahlen dienen. Ich hab mal eine Abbildung auf den Scanner gelegt. Tja, und wie heisst sie im Englischen? Needlecolt???

I now realize that needlecolt is a joke word - sometimes I am slow ;)

Explanation:
Could it be schleifen = sanding/grinding/cutting/sharpening.
Maybe the reference site below with pictures will help you along.

For example: "...Der Rahmen wird nun durch Abnadeln bzw. Schleifen vom Altanstrich befreit..."

and

"...Auch die Radsterne werden abgenadelt, eine sehr langwierige Angelegenheit...

Good luck!

wire brushing?


Explanation:
Hi Beth,
I found this term hard to pin down in several Google searches. I did find a picture of someone doing it though. Perhaps this may help you limit your search somewhat:

Searched the web for verfahren abnadeln OR abgenadelt OR abnadelung OR abgenadelt OR abnadel. Results 1 - 4 of about 5. Search took 0.07 seconds.
[PHOTO of the process!]
>>Auch die Radsterne werden abgenadelt, eine sehr langwierige Angelegenheit...<<
Apparently a power-driven process, and the "hose" looks like a compressed-air hose -- but I can’t tell from the picture or text whether air-blasting or an airtool is involved, such as a steel brush. The lack of a mask on the operator would tend to rule our sandblasting etc.
