_k WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, griq.ding,drilling, and other •
construction activities contains chemicals known
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.
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT
RECOMMENDED. It is very difficult to control the
contaminated dust that could cause lead poisoning.
It is also difficult to identify whether or not a paint
contains lead. Therefore, we recommend the following
precautions when sanding all paints:
• PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a dust mask or
respirator at all times. Wear only dust masks that
are suitable for working in lead paint sanding
environments. Ordinary painting masks do not
offer this protection.
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. •
WARNING:
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN OR PREGNANT
WOMEN TO ENTER THE WORK AREA UNTIL
PAINT SANDING JOB IS FINISHED AND ALL
CLEAN UP COMPLETED.
TO PREVENT INGESTING CONTAMINATED
PAINT PARTICLES, DO NOT EAT, DRINK, OR
SMOKE IN A WORK AREA WHERE PAINT IS
BEING SANDED. After sanding paint, wash and
clean up before eating, drinking, or smoking. Do
not leave food, drinks, or tobacco products in the
work area where dust can settle on them.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT WHEN
SANDING PAINT. Use a dust collection system
if possible. Seal the work area with plastic if
necessary. DO NOT track paint dust outside the
work area.
THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE WORK AREA
UPON COMPLETION OF PAINT SANDING
PROJECT. If project lasts for an extended period
of time, clean work area often. Items such as
sanding dust, vacuum filtePbags, plastic drop
cloths, etc. should be placed in a sealed
container and disposed of properly. Clean all
items exposed to sanding dust.
The operation of any oscillating sander can result in foreign objects being thrown into your
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always
wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed.
We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses
with side shields, available at Sears Retail Stores.
