5.Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the wheel to stop rotating before laying the tool down.

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 5/8"–11 (B3) & M14 (AR, B2, B2C, BR) 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

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.

NOTICE: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, properly seat the wheel hub before turning the tool on.
