OPERATION (cont.)
Sanding Coated Timber
Your belt sander will also help remove old paint, varnish or lacquer. However if the
coating consists of several layers, remove as much as possible with a paint remover.
This will assist in removing the paint faster and not clogging up your belts and belt
sander. Use a hand scraper to remove the residue left by the paint removing solvent
and allow the surface to dry completely before sanding.
Precautions to take when sanding paint
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the dangers of lead
poisoning. In dusty areas a dust mask and eye protection should be worn.
Environmental Safety
•
Paint should be removed in such a manner so as to minimize the amount of dust
generated.
•
Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting.
•
Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce traces of paint dust outside the
work area.
Cleaning and disposal
•
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.
•
Plastic drop sheets should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust,
wood chips or other debris. They should be placed in sealed bags and disposed
of through regular garbage pick-up procedures.
•
During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the
immediate work area.
