Handling hazardous dusts.
When working with power
WARNING
tools, such as when grind-
ing, sanding, polishing, or for other work
procedures where material is removed,
dusts develop that are both hazardous to
one's health and can spontaneously combust
or be explosive.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types
can trigger allergic reactions to the operator
or bystanders and/or lead to respiratory
infections, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Examples of such materials which contain
chemicals that can produce hazardous dusts,
are:
– Asbestos and materials containing asbes-
tos;
– Lead-containing coatings, some wood
types such as beech and oak;
– Minerals and metal;
– Silicate particles from bricks, concrete
and other materials containing stone;
– Solvent from solvent-containing paint/
varnish;
– Arsenic, chromium and other wood pre-
servatives;
– Materials for pesticide treatment on boat
and ship hulls;
– Stainless steel dust, metal dust and non-
ferrous metal dust;
To minimize the unwanted intake of these
materials:
– Use dust extraction matched appropri-
ately for the developing dust.
– Use personal protective equipment, such
as a P2 filter-class dust protection mask.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
place.
The risk from inhaling dusts depends on
how often these materials are worked.
Materials containing asbestos may only be
worked on by specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust
CAUTION
can cause spontaneous com-
bustion or explosions.
Hot mixtures of sanding dust and paint/var-
nish remainders or other chemical materials
in the filter bag or the vac filter can self-ignite
under unfavorable conditions, such as spark-
ing from sanding metal, continuous sunlight
or high ambient temperatures. To prevent
this:
– Avoid overheating the material being
sanded and the power tool.
– Empty the dust collector/container in
time.
– Observe the material manufacturer's
working instructions.
– Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials being worked.
