Lead-Safe Paint Removal

Lead paint is present on most homes built before 1978. Removing it safely means controlling the dust. The Paintshaver® Pro was designed from the start with lead-safe work in mind.

How dust collection works: The built-in dust shroud surrounds the cutting head plus channels stripped debris directly into a connected vacuum hose. Paired with a HEPA-rated vacuum, the system captures lead-contaminated particles at the source, before they reach the air, the soil, or the worker.

What you need for a lead-safe setup:

  1. A Paintshaver® Pro (any model)
  2. A HEPA-rated wet/dry vacuum with a 1.25-inch ID hose connection
  3. Proper work-area containment (plastic sheeting, sealed perimeter)

Know the rules. The EPA's Renovation, Repair, plus Painting (RRP) Rule requires lead-safe work practices on pre-1978 homes. Professionals must be EPA-certified. Homeowners working on their own homes are exempt from certification but should still follow lead-safe practices to protect their families.

After Stripping: Finishing the Surface

The Paintshaver® Pro leaves the stripped surface with a scuffed texture. For a smooth, paint-ready finish, follow up with an orbital sander.

The Orbital SanderVac™ Pro is purpose-built for this step. It connects to the same HEPA vacuum for dust-free sanding, keeping the job clean from start to finish.
