REMOVING PAINT
Do not use this tool to remove paint containing 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 covered 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 particularly vulnerable.
When removing paint., ensue that the work area is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask.
Do not burn the paint. Use the
scraper
and keep the nozzle at leaf 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 that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after
completing the work.
