5) The coverings removal process on many work
surface materials can produce sparks, dust and
other foreign particle contamination. Many covering
materials, adhesives and/or mastics can contain
asbestos and other chemicals that are known to cause
physical harm and/or affect the environment. These
types of materials need to be properly identified,
contained and disposed of according to established
oShA, EPA and other rules and regulations.
SPARKS PRODUCED BY THE ACTIONS
OF BLADE A G A I N S T T H E W O R K
SURFACE (FOR EXAMPLE: STRIKING
ANCHOR BOLTS) CAN RESULT IN A FIRE
AND/OR EXPLOSION. THIS OCCURRENCE
CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
THE CREATION OF DUST AND OTHER
F O R E I GN P A R T IC L E C O N TA M INATI O N
FROM THE COVERING REMOVAL PROCESS
CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. FOR SUCH
OPERATING CONDITIONS, ALWAYS WEAR
A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED DUST/MIST

APPLICABLE OSHA REGULATIONS FOR
SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
6) Dust and other particle contamination can be
controlled by the use of an appropriate industrial type
vacuum system to remove/control dust and other
particle contamination from the work surface.
ALWAYS UTILIZE A VACUUM SYSTEM TO
OPERATE WITHIN THE SPECIFIC JOB SITE

7) Water applied to the work surface is not
normally utilized to control dust and other particle
contamination. Water, and/or other conductive
materials, should be removed from the work surface
by an industry approved and/or accepted practice
bEFoRE utilizing the Floor Stripper to remove the
covering material. The presence of water and/or any
other conductive material on the work surface can
substantially increase the potential electrocution
concern for the operator and/or associated work
personnel.
