SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
EXTREME CAUTION REQUIRED
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint.
The peelings, residue and vapour may contain LEAD
which is poisonous. Any pre 1960 building may have
paint containing lead on wood or metal surfaces
which has been covered with additional layers of
paint.
STOP!
If you suspect that paint on surfaces in your house
contains lead seek professional advice.
Lead based paints should only be removed by a
professional and should not be removed using a Heat
Gun. 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. The young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke when stripping paint.
Wear an approved dust mask with a filter. Face masks
do not offer sufficient protection.
Do not use the nozzle as a scraper, purchase a
scraper specifically designed for removing paint.
Do not allow the paint to burn or ignite. This can
cause toxic fumes and damage to the wood
underneath.
Do not allow paint scrapings to fall into the nozzle.
This will cause the paint scrapings to ignite.
Do not use in damp conditions or where flammable
gases may be present.
Do not use on any containers or vessels that contain
any flammable or explosive liquid or gases even when
empty. They will contain vapour which will explode.
Ensure adequate ventilation when using the Heat Gun
as toxic fumes may be produced.
CAUTION
Do not use as a hair drier. The high temperature will
cause severe burns.
Do not use on pets under any circumstances.
Do not obstruct the air intake or outlet nozzle. This will
cause a sudden build up of temperature resulting in
damage to the Heat Gun.
Do not place the Heat Gun on any combustible
material until it has fully cooled down.
