IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUTIONS
WARNING:
Extreme care should be taken
when stripping paint.
The peelings, residue and
vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poison-
ous. 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 remo-
ving 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.
Persons removing paint should follow these
guidelines:
Q
Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not
possible, keep the work area well ventilated.
Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in
one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air
from inside to outside.
Q
Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture,
clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.
Q
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.
Q
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 off from the rest of the dwelling by
sealing doorways with drop cloths.
Q
Children, pregnant 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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
Remove protective clothing and work shoes in
the work area to avoid carrying dust into the
