Precautions to take when sanding paint
u
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED
due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust.
The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and
pregnant women.
u
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint con-
tains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the
following precautions when sanding any paint:
Personal safety
u
No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean
up is completed.
u
A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily
or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
Note: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead
paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks
do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for
the proper respiratory protection.
u
NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done
in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle on them.
Environmental safety
u
Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize
the amount of dust generated.
u
Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
u
Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of
paint dust outside the work area.
Cleaning and disposal
u
All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and
thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding
project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.
u
Plastic drop cloths should be gatheredup and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant women should be
kept away from the immediate work area.
u
All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children
should be washed thoroughly before being used again.
Using cutting wheels
Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface grinding
applications because these wheels are not designed for side
pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage
and injury may result.
u
Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work
surface.
u
Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to
operate at high speed. Cutting rate is greatest when the
tool operates at high speed.
u
Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the
workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing
the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause
wheel breakage.
u
Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off.
Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.

been designed to operate over a long period of time with a
