4. Apply additional pressure to engage the abrasive pad on the
work surface. Move the sander in an overlapping pattern to
smooth the drywall compound down to a "featheredge".
5. Apply ONLY enough pressure to keep the abrasive pad flat
against the work.
6. Keep the sander in constant motion while the abrasive
pad is in contact with the work surface. Use a steady,
sweeping motion. Excessive pressure, stopping the
sander on the work, or moving the sander erratically can
cause unacceptable swirl marks and unevenness in the
work surface.
nOTE: Do not allow rotating abrasive pad to contact sharp
protrusions. Contact with protruding objects (nails, screws,
electrical boxes, etc.) can severely damage the abrasive pad.
Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint
WARNING: Observe the applicable regulations for
sanding paint. Pay special attention to the following:
•
Whenever possible, use a vacuum extractor for dust
collection.
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:
1. 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. See your local hardware store for the proper
NIOSH-approved dust mask.
-
Connect a suitable dust extractor.
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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
-
Dispose of dust particles and any other removal
debris safely.
