sanding action will be irregular and bumpy, and the tool will be
difficult to control.
Precautions To Take When
Removing Paint
1. Sanding or wire brushing 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
NIOSH-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.
Fitting and Removing the Guard (DW831)
(Fig. 6, 7)
CAUTION: Unplug the tool before mounting or removing the
guard. Guards must be used with all grinding wheels and sanding
flap discs, wire brushes and wire wheels. The tool may be used
without the guard only when sand ing with conventional sanding
discs. Before reconnecting the tool, depress and release the rear part
of the switch to ensure that the tool is off.
FITTING GUARD
CAUTION: Do not operate grinder with a loose guard or the
guard latch in the open position.
1. Open the guard latch (F) and align the arrow on the guard with the
arrow on the gear case.
