Before scraping, check work piece for nails. If there
are nails, either remove them or set them well below
intended finished surface. Striking a nail with accessory
edge could cause the tool to jump.
Do not wet sand with this tool. Liquids entering the
•
motor housing are an electrical shock hazard.
•
Never work in area which is soaked with a liquid,
such as a solvent or water, or dampened such as
newly applied wallpaper. There is an electrical shock
hazard when working in such conditions with a power
tool and heating of the liquid caused by scraping action
may cause harmful vapors to be emitted from work piece.
•
Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding
pads. Larger sandpaper will extend beyond the sanding
pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper or kick-back.
Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also
cause serious lacerations.
Specific Safety Warnings and
Instructions: Sanders
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
4
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.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
lead from lead-based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its
side on a stable surface where it will not cause
