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.
Edge Grinding and Cutting
WARNING:
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.
CAUTION:
Wheels used for edge
grinding and cutting may break or kick back
if they bend or twist while the tool is being
used.
In
all
edge
grinding/cutting
operations, the open side of the guard
must be positioned away from the
operator.
CAUTION:
Edge grinding/cutting with
a Type 27 wheel must be limited to shallow
cutting and notching—less than 1/2"
(13 mm) in depth when the wheel is new.
Reduce the depth of cutting/notching
equal to the reduction of the wheel radius
as it wears down. Refer to the Accessories
Chart
for
more
information.
Edge
grinding/cutting with a Type 1/41 wheel
requires usage of a Type 1/41 guard.
1)
Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching the tool to the work surface.
2)
Apply minimum pressure to the work
surface, allowing the tool to operate at
high speed. Grinding/cutting rate is
greatest when the tool operates at high
speed.
