Voltage drops
Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops. Under
unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment may be
affected. For example, artificial lighting will show a temporary
drop in magnitude when the machine is switched on.
If the system impedance of the power supply is lower than
0.19 ø, disturbances are unlikely to occur.

Stripping lead-based paint
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint.
The peelings, residue and vapours of paint may contain lead,
which is poisonous. Any pre-1960 building may in the past have
been painted with paint containing lead. This paint may be
covered with additional layers of paint. Once deposited on surfaces,
hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposures to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible
brain and nervous system damage. The greatest danger of
lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
Before starting work, it is important to determine whether the
paint to be stripped contains lead. This can be done using a
test kit or by a professional decorator. Do not smoke, eat or
drink in a work area that could or may be contaminated by
lead. Lead based paints should only be removed by a
professional and should not be removed using a heatgun.
