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 sanding disc should contact 1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area approximately 1" (25.4 mm) of work surface. where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is completed. 4. Move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and swirling of work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface. 5.
