3. Hold the nozzle at a distance of approximately 2-3/4" to 4" from the
paint being removed, until the paint starts to blister.
4. Initially, set the temperature to stage I and heat the workpiece carefully.
If more heat is required, start by reducing the distance between the
nozzle and workpiece before increasing the temperature to stage II.
5. Do not heat the paint for too long or it will burn and become more
difficult to remove.
6. Scrape the paint downwards in even strips so the paint does not fall
into the heat gun.
7. Warm the area in front of the scraper evenly by moving the heat gun
from side to side.
8. The edges of the scraper should be cleaned often so that it remains
clean and sharp.
9. On profiled surfaces, the paint needs to be warmed and softened and
then removed using a wire brush.
10. Use a piece of non-flammable material to cover and protect all
surfaces that should not be heated.
11. Always use the deflector nozzle when working near windows.
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 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 BY USING A
HEAT GUN.
