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 cleanup
is completed.
2. A dustmask 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 dustmasks 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 NIOSH approved
proper mask.

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.
FITTING ABRASIVE DISCS
Turn off and unplug the tool.
Use an abrasive disc with a backing
pad for sanding with your angle
grinder.
1. Remove the guard.
2. Place the flange, (backing pad and
abrasive disc sold separately) and
outer flange on the spindle as shown in
Figure 8. Figure 8A shows how to
attach an abrasive disc with a rubber
backing pad.
