    Default Working outside and dust making

    Hi there,

    I have no DC and to be honest after looking at the forum and BP's site and what is required I don't have the $$$ to do it properly. Apart from that my shed is a shed and has a good layer of actual dirt over everything. In the past I have on occasion taken my Triton out on the lawn when using it and the only other tools I have are handheld. I went and got a set of wheels for the Triton so I can take it outside more easily all the time.

    Are there any general recommendations when making your dust outside apart from do it on a windy day?

    Make sure the neighbours washing is not on the line. That's bad
    Make sure the wife's washing is not on the line. that's a disaster.

    Outside is better than inside, but even if it's windy I would recommend wearing a basic dust mask. I lost my sense of smell in 2002 for 6 weeks after 3 days working on MDF outside.

    What about my washing?
    I only worry about the washing when I fire up the lawn mower.

    Yes, i've been looking into what sort of mask to try next.
    Even outside MDF is horrible stuff, I try to avoid it as much as possible.
