and observe all sensible re precautions.
• Keepguninconstantmotion. Do not
stop or dwell in one spot.
• Useextremecautioniftheotherside
of the material being scraped is not
accessible, such as house siding. The
hidden side could catch re if it becomes
too hot. Some buildings contain highly
ammable materials behind siding, oors,
facia, soffit boards and other panels.

and do not use a heat tool if ammable
materials are present or if you are unsure
of the hidden material.

or near metal pipes or ashing. Heat
may be conducted behind the work
surface and ignite hidden material. The
ignition of hidden materials may not be
readily apparent and can result in property
damage and injury.

presences of ammable liquids or
gases.

PERSONSREMOVINGPAINTSHOULD
FOLLOWTHESEGUIDELINES:
WARNING Extreme care should
be taken when stripping paint. The
peelings, residue and vapors of paint
may contain lead, which is poisonous.
Any paint applied before 1950 is likely
to contain lead. Any paint manufactured
before 1977 may contain lead. Once
the paint is deposited on the surface,
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 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.
