USING SANDING BACKING PADS
Choose the proper grit sanding discs
for your application. Sanding discs are
available in various grits. Coarse grits yield
faster material removal rates and a rougher
finish. Finer grits yield slower material
removal and a smoother finish.
Begin with coarse grit discs for fast, rough
material removal. Move to a medium grit
paper and finish with a fine grit disc for
optimal finish.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work
surface, allowing the tool to operate at
high speed. Sanding rate is greatest
when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Figure M - Maintain a 5˚ to 15˚ angle
between the tool and work surface. The
san ding disc should contact approximately
one inch (25mm) of work surface.
4. Move the tool constantly in a straight
line to prevent burning and swirling of
work surface. Allowing the tool to rest

16 - 30 grit
36 - 80 grit
100 - 120 grit
on the work surface without moving,
or moving the tool in a circular motion
causes burning and swirling marks on
the work surface.
5. Remove the tool from work surface
before turning tool off. Allow the tool to
stop rotating before laying it 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
