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 until
the work is done and all clean up iscomplete.
6 . Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and
fume) respirator mask. 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 of 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.
Important Notice
In order for this tool to be an effective paint stripper, it must
produce extremely high temperatures. As a consequence, the
stripper is capable of igniting paper, wood, paint and varnish
residue and similarmaterials.
As you become more familiar with the tool and develop the
proper technique, the danger of accidental ignition will be greatly
reduced. In establishing the proper technique, the best thing to
do is PRACTICE! Work on simple stripping projects, preferably
outdoors, until you get a “feel” for how to use your stripper safely
andeffectively.
As You Practice, Observe the Following
Procedures for Safety
• Always be sure the tool is turned off and disconnected from
power supply whenunattended.
• Clean the scraper blade often during use. Built up residue on
the blade is highlyflammable.
• Experiment to find the optimum distance from the
tool’s nozzle to the surface being stripped. This distance
25.4mm–50.8mm will vary depending on the material
beingremoved.
• Keep the heat gun moving ahead of the scraper blade at
alltimes.
• As you work, clean up loose pieces of paint as they accumulate
around the workarea.
• When working indoors, keep away from curtains, papers,
upholstery and similar flammablematerials.
• Above all, remember that this is a serious tool that is capable
of producing excellent results when used properly. Practice on
simple projects until you feel comfortable with your stripper.
Only then will you have mastered the propertechnique.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
duringoperation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.
