EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double
insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension
cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension
cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

HELPFUL HINTS PRIOR TO USE

• Keep the scraping tool edge clean to help make the
job easier.
• Do not use the Heat Gun on surfaces that can be damaged
by heat, such as vinyl, siding, gutters and window frames.
• When removing paint from window frames, the Heat Gun
will soften the putty. Be careful not to gouge the putty with
the scraper. The putty will firm up after it cools.
• Do not use the Heat Gun on insulated laminated window
glass such as Thermopane. The glass edge expansion may
break the edge seal.
• When scraping fascia, do not overheat the edges of the
asphalt shingles protruding over the edge of the sheathing.
Too much heat will melt the asphalt.
Removing paint with heat is safe, provided you follow
the guidelines below; however, you should always keep either
a container of water or an ABC fire extinguisher within reach.

GUIDELINES FOR REMOVING PAINT

1. Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep
the work area well ventilated. Open any available 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. If they cannot be removed,
place in center of the room and cover.
3. Place drop cloths in the area to catch any paint chips or
peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work
shirts, overalls and hats.
4. Work in one room at a time. Remove furnishings or place
them, covered, in the center of the room. Seal the work
area from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways
with drop cloths.

Heat Gun Operational Guidelines

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cord. For example: a 14-gauge cord can carry
a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more
than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure
each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If
you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add
the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the
required minimum wire size.
5. Children, pregnant women, women who are considering
becoming pregnant and nursing mothers should not be
present in the work area until the work is done and all
clean up is complete.
6. Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and
fume) respirator mask, which has been approved by the
Occupational Safety & 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 home
center and 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.
7. Use caution when operating the Heat Gun. Keep
the Heat Gun moving, as excessive heat will generate
fumes, which can be unhealthy or dangerous to inhale.
8. 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.
9. Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the
floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other
surfaces 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.
10. 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.
11. Remove protective clothing and work shoes while still
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 and then wash the rag with the work
clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap
and water.
