4) IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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. Exposures to even low levels of lead can
cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn children are particu-
larly 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 profes-
sional 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.
5) PERSONS REMOVING PAINT SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:
5.1) Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the work area well ventilated.

5.2) Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, 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.
5.3) 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 o from the rest of the dwelling by sealing
doorways with drop cloths.
5.4) Children, pregnant women or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should
not be present in the work area until the work is done and all clean up is complete.
5.5) Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual lter (dust and fume) respirator mask 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 lters are readily available at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask ts. Beards
