.
the work
Pushing down on the tool while sanding actually slows the
removal rate and produces an inferior quality finish.
Check your work often. Sander is capable of removing
material rapidly especially with coarse paper.
Precautions to take when sanding 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
u
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
u
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced
daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. See
your local hardware store for the proper EN14683-
approved dust mask.
NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in
u
the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles.
(Original instructions)
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
u
the amount of dust generated.
Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
u
with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of
u
paint dust outside the work area.
Cleaning and disposal
All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and
u
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
u
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
u
should be washed thoroughly before being used again.

Dust Collection (Fig.I, J)
Warning! Collected sanding dust from sanding surface
coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self=ignite and
cause fire. To reduce risk, strictly follow sander manual and
coating manufacturer's instructions.
The dust bag should be emptied after every 10 minutes of
u
sanding.
To attach the dust bag to the sander, line up the grooves
u
(14) on the side dust bag collar (15) with the dust bag
locks (16) on the dust port (17) .
Slide the dust bag onto the dust port and turn the dust bag
u
clockwise to lock it in place as shown in Figure I.
To remove, turn the dust bag counterclockwise and slide
u
the dust bag off.
To empty the dust bag, remove it from the dust port
u
and dump the sanding debris into an appropriate trash
receptacle as shown in Figure J.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner)
Insert the hose of the vacuum cleaner into the dust port
u
(17).
