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: 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.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if
cutting operation is dusty. ALL USERS AND BYSTANDERS MUST
ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The
symbols and their definitions are as follows:

Additional Safety Rules For Paint
Removal
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.
