Additional Safety Rules For Paint Removal; Environmental Safety - Black & Decker BDPO700 Instruction Manual

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
wARNINg:
personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
wARNINg:
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of
California 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.
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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust
from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
activities. wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
wARNINg:
generate and/or disperse dust, which may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate
for the dust exposure. Direct particles away
from face and body.
wARNINg:
abrasive wheels carefully to prevent
damage from thermal shock, heat,
mechanical damage, etc. Store in a dry
protected area free from high humidity,
freezing temperatures or extreme
temperature changes.
• when using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The
following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Sanding Lead based 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 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. See
your local hardware store for the proper
NIOSH approved dust 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.
