3. Figure M - Maintain a 5˚ to 15˚ angle between the tool and work
surface. The san ding disc should contact approximately one inch
(25mm) of work surface.
4. Move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and
swirling of work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work
surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion
causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop
rotating before laying it down.
PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN SANDING PAINT
1. 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.
2. 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

1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding
is being done until all clean up is completed.
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 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 N.I.O.S.H. approved mask.
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 on them.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust
generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of
4 mils thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the
work area.

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 changed frequently.
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-up procedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the
immediate work area.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed
thoroughly before being used again.
MOUNTING AND USING WIRE BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels screw directly on the grinder spindle without the use of
flanges. Use only wire brushes or wheels provided with a 5/8 inch-11 threaded hub. A
Type 27 guard is required when using wire brushes and wheels.
CAUTION: Wear work gloves when handling wire brushes and wheels. They can
become sharp.
CAUTION: Wheel or brush must not touch guard when mounted or while in use.
Undetectable damage could occur to the accessory, causing wires to fragment from accessory
wheel or cup.
