tool can explosively ignite combustible
fluids and gases.
Do not work in a potentially explosive
environment. Check the surrounding before starting to
work. Do not work on fuels or gas containers or in their
vicinity, even when they are empty.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain
lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1995 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.
Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
1. 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.
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.
4. 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.
5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be present in the work area unit
the work is done and all clean up is complete.
6. Wear dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the
Occupational Safely 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11.Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying dust into the rest to the
dwelling .Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then washed with the work clothes.
Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.
