otHer iMportant safety warnings and instructions
sanding
sanding lead Based paint
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:
personal safety
• No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is
being done until all clean up is completed.
• 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.
environMental safety
• 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.
Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your tool will
operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts
AC/DC means that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This information is
printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result in over-heating. All
BLACK+DECKER tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
caution:
to reduce the risk of injury, turn off
and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or
removing or installing attachments or accessories.
