How to use Hunt carbon fiber brush?

I am going to show my lack of ingenuity by asking this question, but I'm going to do so anyway. How do I use the Hunt carbon fiber brush? I can't seem to pick up all the dust; the brush seems to just collect the dust at one point on the record and I can't pick it up off the record. Also, do I use the brush when the record is turning? I tried that, but the force of the brush stops the platter from spinning. How much force should be applied?

Thanks in advance for answering such a basic question. I'm new to analog and LOVE the sound. Can't believe I spent $5000+ on digital...

1. You put the record on the platter.
2. You turn the the table on so that your platter turns and wait for it to reach maximum speed.
3. Place the Hunt brush evenly on the record straight across the record like a linear tracking arm and hold the brush tight only let the weight of the brush do the cleaning.
4. Let record go around 3 times and then with a little pressure push down and at the same time flick your wrist towards you.
5. After you clean the brushes with the metal holder it came with, clean the bristle outwards from each other.
6. Repeat the process 3 times after that you should have all of the dust off the record.
