It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains relates to protecting

YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you recognize this

information.

SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these

chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. We a r

protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin

may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.

Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and

b o d y.

Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may

contribute to hearing loss.

SANDING LEAD BASED PA I N T

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:

P E R S O N A L S A F E T Y

• No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is

c o m p l e t e d .

• 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.

E N V I R O N M E N TA L S A F E T Y

• 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 pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and

pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate work area.

• All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before being used again.

FIRE HAZARD collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can

self-ignite in dust collector bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce risk, empty bag frequently and strictly follow sander

manual and coating manufacturer's instructions.
