_1, WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, 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.
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.

SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most matedal and finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is
rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove
scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with
each grit until surface is uniform.
