are particularly vulnerable.
• When removing paint, make sure that the work area is open. Use a dust mask.
• Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and keep the nozzle 25 mm away from the painted surface.
When working in the vertical direction, downwards, be careful so that paint does not fall on the heat gun.
