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.
FIRST AID MEASURES FOR GEL
COMPONENTS
If gel within the comfort grip becomes
exposed and results in skin contact wash
with soap and water; for eye contact, flush
with flowing water. If swallowed, seek
medical attention. Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) available from 1-800-544-6986.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The
following table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gage number, the heavier the cord.

SANDING LEAD BASED PAINT
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:
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.

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
Recommended
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.
MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with
nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only
means your tool will operate on standard
60 Hz household power. Do not operate
AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts
AC/DC means that you tool will operate on
standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This
information is printed on the nameplate.
Lower voltage will cause loss of power
and can result in over-heating. All
Craftsman tools are factory-tested; if this
tool does not operate, check the power
supply.
