PERSONS REMOVING PAINT SHOULD FOLLOW THESE
GUIDELINES:
1) Move the workpiece 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.
2) Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air
ducts.
3) 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.
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WARNING!
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings,
residue and vapours of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous.
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 removing 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.
WARNING!
This product may contain lead, phthalate or other
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive
harm. Please wash your hands after use.
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and
other panels may contain flammable materials that could be ignited
by the heat gun when working in these locations. The ignition of these
materials may not be readily apparent and could result in property
damage and injury to persons.
When working in these locations, keep the heat gun moving in a back-
and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the
panel or the material behind it.
