Read all safety information before operating the equipment. Save theSe InStRuctIonS.
To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and the
injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in
this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of the
equipment.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
Hazard: POISON
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The
peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead,
which is poisonous. Any paint applied to homes before 1950
is likely to contain lead. Any paint manufactured before 1977
may contain lead. Once the paint is 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 to lead poisoning.
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.
PreveNTION:
• 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.

Important Safety Information
• Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking
utensils and air ducts.
• 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.
•
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.
• Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing
mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is
done and all cleanup is complete.
• Wear a dust respirator mask of a dual filter respirator mask for
dust and fumes 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 that the mask fits properly. Beards and
facial hair may keep masks from sealing properly. Change the
filters often. Disposable paper masks are not adequate.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 dust is clinging. Do not sweep, dry dust or vacuum. Use a
high phosphate detergent of trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash
and mop areas.
• At the end of each work session, put the paint chips and debris in
