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.
ENVIRON M ENTAL 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 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.
ACAUTION:
To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, wheel or
brush must not touch guard when mounted or while in use.
