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. ASSEMBLY WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before performing any of the following assembly. Fitting sanding sheets (fig. B ) • Soften the sanding sheet by rubbing its non-abrasive side over the edge of a work table. • Press the paper clamp levers (3) upwards to release them from the retaining grooves and open the paper clamps by pressing them down. • Place the sheet onto the sanding base. • Insert the edge of the sanding sheet into the front paper clamp as shown. • Press the front paper clamp lever (3) downwards and locate it in the retaining groove. • While keeping a slight tension on the sheet, insert the rear edge of the sheet into the rear paper clamp. • Press the rear paper clamp lever (3) downwards and locate it in the retaining groove. Punching sanding sheets (fig. C) The paper punch (6) is used for punching dust extraction holes in sanding sheets without pre-punched holes. Fit a sanding sheet. • Hold the tool in position right above the paper punch (6). • Press the tool with the sanding base (2) down into the paper punch. • Take the tool off the paper punch and check whether the holes in the sanding sheet have been fully pierced. OPERATION WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload. Switching on and off (fig. D) • To switch the tool on, press the part of the on/off switch (1) marked 'I'. • To switch the tool off, press the part of the on/off switch (1) marked '0'. Fitting and removing the dust bag • Fit the dust bag (5) over the dust extraction outlet. To remove the dustbag, pull the dustbag to the rear and off the outlet. Connecting a vacuum cleaner (fig. E) NOTE: Adaptor is an optional accessory, see “Service Information” to order. • Slide the adaptor (8) over the dust extraction outlet (7). • Connect the hose of the vacuum cleaner to the adaptor. NOTE: Ensure that the vacuum cleaner can be placed such that it will not tip over or interfere with the motion of the sander. If this cannot be done, do not use the vacuum cleaner. Turn on the vacuum cleaner before beginning to sand and turn it off after turning off the sander. Empty vacuum cleaner as required. Hints for optimum use • Do not place your hands over the ventilation slots. • Do not exert too much pressure on the tool. • Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary. • Always sand with the grain of the wood. • When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit. • On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for a smooth finish. Dust Extraction WARNING: Fire hazard. 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 canister frequently and strictly follow sander manual and coating manuf...
