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
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 5/8
: Wear work gloves when handling wire brushes and wheels. They can become sharp.
: 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
: Turn off tool and remove battery before making any adjustments or
removing or 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.
: Failure to properly seat the wheel hub before turning the tool on may
result in damage to tool or wheel.
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 brushng paint as when sanding paint (see page 17).
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.
3.Figure S - Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle between the tool and work surface for wire cup brushes.
