Ensure adequate ventilation as toxic fumes
Q
may be produced.
Do not use as a hairdryer.
Q
Do not obstruct either the air intake or noz-
Q
zle outlet, as this may cause excessive heat
build-up resulting in damage to the tool.
Do not direct the hot air blast at other people.
Q
Do not touch the metal nozzle as it becomes
Q
very hot during use and remains hot for up to
30 minutes after use.
Do not place the nozzle against anything while
Q
using or immediately after use.
Do not poke anything down the nozzle as
Q
it could give you an electric shock. Do not
look down the nozzle while the unit is work-
ing because of the high temperature being
produced.
Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or
Q
scraper as it could ignite after some time.
Removing paint
Do not use this tool to remove paint containing
Q
lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint
may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any
pre-1960 building may have been painted in
the past with paint containing lead and cov-
ered with additional layers of paint.
Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth
contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposure even to low levels of lead can cause
irreversible damage to the brain and nervous
system. Young and unborn children are partic-
ularly vulnerable.
When removing paint, ensure that the work
Q
area is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask.
Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and
Q
keep the nozzle at least 25 mm away from the
painted surface. When working in a vertical
direction, work downwards to prevent paint
from falling into the tool and burning.
Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure
Q
that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after
completing the work.

ment, always unplug the tool.
