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 difficultybreathing.
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. Refer to your local
hardware dealer for the proper N.I.O.S.H. approvedmask.
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
onthem.
Environmental Safety
1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dustgenerated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4milsthickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the workarea.
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 changedfrequently.
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‑upprocedures.
During clean‑up, children and pregnant women should be
kept away from the immediate workarea.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children
should be washed thoroughly before being usedagain.
Edge Grinding and Cutting (Fig.M)
WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for
surface grinding applications because these wheels are not
designed for side pressures encountered with surface grinding.
Wheel breakage and injury mayresult.
CAUTION: Wheels used for edge grinding and cutting
may break or kick back if they bend or twist while the tool is
being used. In all edge grinding/cutting operations, the open
side of the guard must be positioned away from theoperator.
NOTICE: Edge grinding/cutting with a Type27wheel must
be limited to shallow cutting and notching—less than 1/2"
(13mm) in depth when the wheel is new. Reduce the depth of
cutting/notching equal to the reduction of the wheel radius
as it wears down. Refer to the Accessories Chart for more
information. Edge grinding/cutting with a Type 41wheel
requires usage of a Type 1/41 /Type Aguard.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the
tool to the worksurface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing
the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding/cutting rate is
greatest when the tool operates at highspeed.
3. Position yourself so that the open‑underside of the
wheel is facing away fromyou.
4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the
workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing
the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause
wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels are not designed to
withstand side pressures caused bybending.
