For personal protection on building sites we strongly recommend the
FI
tool be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) or a
RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) .
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: 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.
Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
1. 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.
2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils
and air ducts.
3. 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.
