ABSTRACT
The PaintShredder two is marketed as an effective tool for paint removal. Pressure is applied onto the tool as it lies against the painted surface and is then moved in specific ways: from right to left or up and down. The main working part of the tool is its head, which contains rotating blades or "teeth" that cut into the paint layers to expose the underlying wood. This product cannot automatically strip off paint. People strip paint off the surfaces, therefore a combined person-machine system is involved to achieve the intended function of stripping paint. With the PaintShredder two product, there are a number of different hazards to consider. Among others, these include electrical, mechanical, and chemical. When product-related hazards are known or discovered, manufacturers are expected to take steps to eliminate or reduce injuries. There are three basic, prioritized strategies to control hazards: by design, guarding, and warning.
