Safety Instructions
DANGER: toxic hazard
Be extremely careful when stripping paint. Paints and thus paint waste may
contain lead, which is poisonous. This is almost certain the case for paint
manufactured before 1977. Hand to mouth contact with lead based paint or
waste 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. When in doubt, have the paint
analysed by a professional.
LEAD BASED PAINT SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN.
ONLY A PROFESSIONAL SHOULD HANDLE THESE PAINTS AND
RESIDUES.
DANGER: fire hazard
Hidden areas e.g. behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels
may contain inflammable materials that could be ignited by the heat gun. The
ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent and could result in
property damage and injury to persons. Check the work area before using the
heat gun.
Keep the heat gun in motion during use to avoid local overheating resulting in
damage or the work piece catching fire.
Never leave a working heat gun unattended.
Note that the heat gun has a thermal relay installed to prevent overheating.
Always switch the heat gun off and unplug it from the mains when this
thermal relay is activated, as deactivation of the thermal relay will resume
normal heating operation.
Never cover the air outlet or intake.
Keep a fire extinguisher at hand at all times.
