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, ensure that the work area is enclosed. Preferably wear
a dust mask.
Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper provided 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.
