6.
Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (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 filters are
readily available at major 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 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 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 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 that is then washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and body
thoroughly with soap and water.
j.
Crews do not actually come in contact with the hot PREMARK thermoplastic,
thereby creating a safer work environment. By putting the material down with the
flame of the 3000 EX heat torch directed downwind, you will substantially
minimize the amount of heat reaching your body. Although the heat will not "hurt"
you, it is always nicer to stay as cool as possible.
k.
Remember there is no reason to touch the PREMARK material while it is molten.
The melting point of PREMARK is 400 degrees F. and the material will stick to
your skin and cause burns if you touch it when it is molten.
l.
Consequently, skin and eye contact should be avoided. Please refer to the
Material Safety Data Sheet for first aid instructions you should follow if you get
some molten material on you.
m.Close the valve of the gas bottle when not in use for long periods of time.
n.
Press the trigger to empty the gas hose and release the pressure.
o.
Never heat a specific area continuously.
p.
Keep the working zone clean and remove all waste (wood, paper, other
inflammable materials).
q.
For all work inside professional workshops, the gas bottle must be placed on a
mobile trolley that can be manoeuvred easily.
r.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
