SAFETY WARNINGS
Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or
the material behind it. Hidden areas such as behind walls,
ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may contain
flammable materials that could be ignited by the heat gun
when working in these locations. The ignition of these
materials may not be readily apparent and could result in
property damage and injury to persons. When working in
these locations, keep the heat gun moving in a back-and-forth
motion.
Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
•
Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep
the work area well ventilated. Open the windows and put
an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving
the air from inside to outside.
•
Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing,
cooking utensils and air ducts.
•
Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint
chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra
work shirts, overalls and hats.
•
Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be
removed or placed in the center of the room and covered.
Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the
dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.
•
Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and
nursing mothers should not be present in the work area
until the work is done and all clean up is complete.
•
Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and
fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or
the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and
replaceable filters are readily available at major
hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial
hair may keep masks from sealing properly. Change
filters often. Disposable paper masks are not adequate.
•
Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep the heat
gun moving as excessive heat will generate fumes which
can be inhaled by the operator.
•
Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands,
arms and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking.
Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
•
Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the
floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any
other surface where paint or dust is clinging. Do not
sweep, dry dust or vacuum. Use a high phosphate
detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop
areas.
•
At the end of each work session put the paint chips and
debris in a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist
ties and dispose of properly.
•
Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work
area to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the dwelling.
Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet
rag that is then washed with the work clothes. Wash hair
and body thoroughly with soap and water.
English
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The
peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead,
which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead
and paint applied to homes prior to 1950 is likely to contain
lead. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can
result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels
of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system
damage; young and unborn children are particularly
vulnerable.
Before beginning any paint removal process you should
determine whether the paint you are removing contains
lead. This can be done by your local health department or
by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check the
lead content of the paint to be removed.
LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE
REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD
NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN.
Do not immerse in water. To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
Store indoors in a dry location. Read instruction manual
before using.
Do not direct the heat gun air airflow at clothing, hair or
other body parts. Do not use as a hair dryer.eat guns can
produce 1100°F (593°C) or more of flameless heat at the
nozzle. Contact with the air stream could result in personal
injury.
Do not use near flammable liquids or in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of fumes, gases or
dust. The flameless heat from the heat gun may ignite the
dust or fumes. Remove materials or debris that may become
ignited from work area.
Shield materials around the heated area to prevent
property damage or fire.
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Heat guns may ignite
flammable materials left in the work area.
Hot Surfaces. Always hold the heat gun by the plastic
enclosure. Do not touch nozzle, accessory tips or store
heat gun until the nozzle has cooled to room
temperature.
The metal nozzle requires approximately 20 minutes to cool
before it can be touched. Contact with the nozzle or
accessory tip could result in personal injury. Place the heat
gun in a clear area away from combustible materials while
cooling to prevent flammable materials from igniting.
Do not cut off airflow by placing nozzle too close to
workpiece. Keep intake vents clean and clear of obstructions.
Restricting airflow may cause the heat gun to overheat.
Place the heat gun on a stable, level surface when not
hand held.
