Safety instructions for sanding paint
− Do not sand paints that contain lead. Determine whether the paint you
intend to sand contains lead before beginning work. Dust from paints
containing lead may cause lead poisoning.
− A special test or a commercial painting contractor can determine whether
a paint contains lead.
If in doubt, you should wear a special dust mask to protect you from fine
particles containing lead. Ask a qualified professional about this.
− Sanding coats of paint containing lead, various types of wood and metals
could produce hazardous or poisonous dust. Coming into contact or
inhaling the dust may pose a risk to the operator or nearby persons.
Wear suitable protective equipment to protect yourself and nearby
persons from coming into contact or inhaling this dust. Normal dust masks
do not provide proper protection.
− Do not allow children or pregnant persons to enter the room or work area
where you are sanding.
− Do not eat, drink or smoke while working. Clean your hands before you eat,
drink or smoke. Do not leave any food or beverages exposed as there is a
risk of dust accumulating in them.
− After sanding, thoroughly clean the surfaces of the work area.
Safety instructions for dust extraction
Dust from materials whose constituents include paint coats containing lead,
some types of wood, minerals and metal could be harmful to health. Coming into
contact or inhaling such dust could cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
illness on the part of the user or persons in the immediate vicinity. Certain
dusts such as oak or beech dust are considered carcinogenic, particularly in
combination with wood treatment additives (chromate, wood preservatives).
− Use a dust extractor.
− Use a special extractor to extract types of dust, which are particularly
harmful to health, carcinogenic or dry.
− Make sure the work area is adequately ventilated.
− Wear a P2 dust mask (filter class) when performing work that produces
dust. If the multifunction-tool has a port for dust extractors and/or dust
collectors, connect the dust extractor to it.
