surface, allowing the tool to operate at
high speed. Sanding rate is greatest
when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Figure R - 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. Wear
work gloves when handling wire brushes
and wheels. They can become sharp.
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.
mOUNTING WIRE CUP bRUShES ANd
WIRE WhEELS
Turn off tool and remove battery before
making any adjustments or removing or
installing attachments or accessories.
1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.
2. Depress spindle lock button and use a
wrench on the hub of the wire wheel or
brush to tighten the wheel.
3. To remove the wheel, reverse the above
procedure.
Failure to properly seat the wheel hub
before turning the tool on may result in
damage to tool or wheel.
USING WIRE CUP bRUShES ANd WIRE WhEELS
Wire wheels and brushes can be used for
removing rust, scale and paint, and for
smoothing irregular surfaces.
NOTE
: The same precautions should be
taken when wire brushng paint as when
sanding paint.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching the tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface,
allowing the tool to operate at high
speed. Material removal rate is greatest
when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Figure S - Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle
between the tool and work surface for
