Z_ WARNING:
Some
dust crested
by using
power
tools
contains
chemicals
known
to the State
of California
to cause
cancer
and 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.
, Arsenic
and chromium,
from
chemically
treated
lumber.
Your risk from
these exposures
varies,
depending
upon
how often
you do
this type
of work. To reduce
your
exposure
to these
chemicals:
• Work
in a well-ventilated
area.
, 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.
Z_ WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate
and/or
disburse
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.
z_ WARNING:
Collected
sanding
dust from
sanding
surface
coatings
(polyurethane,
linseed
oil, etc.) can self-ignite
in sander
dust
bag or elsewhere
and cause
fire. To reduce
risk, empty
dust
bag frequently
and strictly
follow
sander
manual
and coating
manufacturer's
instructions.
z_ CAUTION:
When
working
on metal
surfaces,
DO NOT use the dust
bag or
a vacuum
cleaner
because
sparks
are generated.
Wear safety
glasses
and s dust
mask.
Due to the danger
of fire, do not use your
sander
to sand
magnesium
surfaces.
Do not use for wet sanding.
SANDING
PAINTS
SANDING
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:
• 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
(if) the wearer
has
difficulty
breathing.
