Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint
1. 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.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a
chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any
paint:
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint
sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.
2. 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 N.I.O.S.H. approved mask.
3. 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
1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust
generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of
4 mils thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the
work area.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
1. 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.
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up 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.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed
thoroughly before being used again.
MOUNTING AND USING WIRE BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels screw directly on the grinder spindle without the use
of flanges. Use only wire brushes or wheels provided with a 14 x 2 mm threaded hub.
A Type 27 guard is required when using wire brushes and wheels.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, wear work gloves when handling wire
brushes and wheels. They can become sharp.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, wheel or brush must not
touch guard
when mounted or while in use. Undetectable damage could occur to the accessory,
causing wires to fragment from accessory wheel or cup.
MOUNTING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and and remove
battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.
2. Depress spindle lock button and use a wrench on the hub of the wire wheel or
brush to tighten the wheel.
3. To remove the wheel, reverse the above procedure.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, properly seat the wheel hub before
turning the tool on.
USING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale and paint, and for
smoothing irregular surfaces.
NOTE:
The same precautions should be taken when wire brushing paint as when
sanding paint (Refer to
Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint
).
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high
speed. Material removal rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
