FOR YOUR SAFETY AND WELL BEING
DRY PLANING
DO NOT operate gasoline/propane
powered equipment without adequate
ventilation. Carbon monoxide is an
invisible, oderless gas that can kill.
Dry Planing:
Dry Planing creates a large volume of airborne dust. For health reasons, the
operator should wear an applicable respirator. The dust may contain chemicals
known to cause serious illnesses, including Silicosis a fatal disease of the lungs.
Check the chemical properties of the material to be removed and follow all
EPA/OSHA regulations.
• An Industrial vacuum, capable of handling high volume of ne dust, such as the
VAC-200 (Figure 5), should be used when dry planing with this machine. If the material
being used is hazardous or contains Silica - the vacuum unit should be capable of
removing Respirable Silica and hazardous particles of less than 3 microns and if
necessary, have the capability to be equipped with a HEPA lter.
• Most standard drum type units use a paper bag lter. The dust created during
planing is extremely ne and will clog the lter bag of these units and eventually
damage the vacuums motor. In addition, damage to the CPM-4-8-10 engine could
occur.
• The collected debris and lters should be disposed of according to procedures that
comply with current EPA/OSHA standards.
