Personal protection
18. USE PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
Always wear heat-protective gloves, eye
protection, and a respirator or dust mask,
also nonskid safety shoes and hardhat
where appropriate.
19. PREVENT BURNS:
Do not allow bare skin to come into contact with
IR bulbs or metal shroud while in operation, as
these elements are extremely hot. Also avoid
touching recently heated paint, putty or varnish.
To adjust angle of heating element as
necessary, use the cooled Support bar (fig. 1).
Do not touch any other metal parts because
they vill be extremely hot (fig. 2)
20. AVOID INHALING FUMES AND DUST:
Smoke and gas can contain harmful
substances. Ensure there is effective
ventilation (especially when working
indoors) and always wear a properly fitted
respirator or high-quality (N95 or N100) dust
mask during paint removal.
21. DO NOT OVERHEAT.
Exposing the paint to infrared radiation
beyond the point where it bubbles and
smokes increases the risk of exposure to
toxic fumes (1 – 3 seconds is usually
sufficient heating time).
22. CONTAIN THE DEBRIS:
When used as directed, this low-temperature
paint remover does not vaporize lead, but
lead-based paint debris must be thoroughly
contained and carefully disposed of. For

Safe Work Practices, and how to get certified

Tools Use and Care
23. HANDLE WITH CARE:
Avoid dropping the Cobra as it may cause
irreparable damage to the housing and the
fragile infrared (IR) tubes. Cracked IR tubes
or damage to the housing void the warranty.
24. TOOL MAINTENANCE:
Failure to take proper care of this tool may
lead to malfunction, fire hazard, risk of
electric shock and thereby personal injury.
Make sure that the IR tubes and reflectors
are clean and in working order. Dirty tubes
and reflec¬tors reduce efficiency and could
cause a fire. Routinely tighten screws and
inspect the power cord, IR tubes, and other
parts for signs of damage. Replace dama-
ged parts immediately. If an IR tube should
break, switch the tool off, pull the plug, allow
time for cooling, then replace the tube. Al-
ways use gloves or a rag when handling an
IR tube. Never touch it with your hands.
25. APPROVED ACCESSORIES,
PARTS AND SERVICE:
Use only manufacturer-approved replace-
ment parts and acces¬sories for this tool.
Using components not specified in the spare
parts list, or otherwise approved by the ma-
nufacturer, may cause personal injury and
render the warranty invalid. Repairs must
be performed by a qualified technician or a
factory-autho¬rized service center.
When used properly, the Cobra will
not vaporize lead paint or create a
fire hazard.
