WARNING:
This machine produces dust and peelings. Observe the following:
WARNING:
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peeling, resi-
due 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.
