Warnings and Instructions
Sanding
LEAD BASED 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 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 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.
• 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

• Paint should be removed in such a manner
as to minimize the amount of dust generated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring
should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4
mils thickness.
• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce
tracking of paint dust outside the work area.

CLEANING AND DISPOSAL

• 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.
• 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.
• All toys, washable furniture and utensils
used by children should be washed
thoroughly before being used again.
MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with
nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means
your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz
household power. Do not operate AC tools
on DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means
that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz
AC or DC power. This information is printed
on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause
loss of power and can result in over-heating.
All BLACK+DECKER tools are factory-tested;
if this tool does not operate, check the power
supply.
