Precautions To Take When Sanding Metals
When sanding metals, sparks or hot
fragments could cause a fire. To
reduce the risk of this:
1. Disconnect any dust collecting hose
from the sander.
2. Remove all traces of wood dust from
inside the unit before sanding metals.
3. Remove all traces of metal dust from
inside the unit before sanding wood
again.
Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint
Sanding of lead based paint is not rec-
ommended. It is difficult to control the
contaminated dust that could cause lead
poisoning.
It is also difficult to identify whether or not
a paint contains lead. Therefore, we rec-
ommend the following precautions when
sanding all paints:
1. Protect your lungs. Wear a dust mask
or respirator at all times. Wear only
dust masks that are suitable for working
in lead paint sanding environments.
Ordinary painting masks do not offer
this protection.
2. Do not allow children or pregnant
women to enter the work area until
paint sanding job is complete and work
area is clean.
3. To prevent ingesting contaminated
paint particles: Do not eat, drink, or
smoke in a work area where paint is
being sanded. After sanding paint,
wash and clean up before eating, drink-
ing or smoking. Do not leave food,
drinks, or tobacco products in the work
area where dust can settle on them.
4. Protect the environment when sanding
paint. Use a dust collection system if
possible. Seal the work area with plas-
tic if necessary. Do not track paint dust
outside the work area.
5. Thoroughly clean the work area upon
completion of paint sanding project. If
project lasts for an extended period of
time, clean work area often. Items such
as sanding dust, vacuum filter bags,
plastic drop cloths, etc. should be
placed in a sealed container and dis-
posed of properly. Clean all items
exposed to sanding dust.
