Sanding |
Lead based paint
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.
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
•No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.
•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 (NIOSH approved) mask.
•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
•Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.
•Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
•Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
Cleaning and disposal
•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.
•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
•All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before being used again.

NOTE: Adaptor is an optional accessory, see “Service Information” to order.
•Slide the adaptor (8) over the dust extraction outlet (7).
•Connect the hose of the vacuum cleaner to the adaptor.
NOTE: Ensure that the vacuum cleaner can be placed such that it will not tip over or interfere with the motion of the sander. If this cannot be done, do not use the vacuum cleaner. Turn on the vacuum cleaner before beginning to sand and turn it off after turning off the sander. Empty vacuum cleaner as required.
Hints for optimum use
•Do not place your hands over the ventilation slots.
•Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
•Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.
•Always sand with the grain of the wood.
•When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.
•On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for a smooth finish.
Dust Extraction
WARNING: Fire hazard. Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can
WARNING: Fire hazard. When working on metal surfaces, do not use the dust canister or a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
