Important Safety Information • Read all safety information
before operating the equipment. Save these instructions
To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and the injury to persons,
read and understand all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the
controls and proper usage of the equipment.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
HazaRD: POISON
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapors of
paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any paint applied to homes before 1950 is
likely to contain lead. Any paint manufactured before 1977 may contain lead. Once the
paint is 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 to lead poisoning.
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.
PReveNTION:
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.
4.
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.
5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not
be present in the work area until the work is done and all cleanup is complete.
6. Wear a dust respirator mask of a dual filter respirator mask for dust and fumes
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 that the mask fits properly. Beards and facial hair
may keep masks from sealing properly. Change the 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 inhaled by the operator.
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 surface where paint dust is clinging. Do
not sweep, dry dust or vacuum. Use a high phosphate detergent of 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 in the work area to avoid carrying dust
into the rest of the building. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with
a wet rag and then wash it with the work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly
with soap and water.
