6. The nozzle becomes very hot. Do not lay the heat gun on flammable surfaces
when operating the heat gun or immediately after shutting the heat gun off. Always
set the gun on a flat, level surface so that the nozzle tip is directed upwards and
away from the supporting surface.
7. Do not touch the nozzle until the tool has cooled.
8. Do not use the heat gun as a hair dryer.
9. Tools and paint scrapings become very hot. To avoid burns, use work gloves when
scraping.
10. Always treat the hot air units with the same respect as an open flame.
HAZARD: ELECTRIC - may cause property damage, severe injury or loss of life.
PREVENTION:
1. Do not disassemble the heat gun.
2. Do not work in wet areas or expose the heat gun to rain.
3. Guard against electric shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, aluminum ladders or other grounded devices.
4. Do not abuse the electric cord. Never carry the heat gun by the cord or yank on
the cord to disconnect if from the power supply. Keep the electric cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Inspect the cord for wear or damage regularly.
5. Use only extension cords rated for outdoor use. If an extension cord is damaged
or otherwise unsuitable for use, replace it with a new cord.
HAZARD: GENERAL - may cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
1. Disconnect the heat gun from the power supply when not in use. Store indoors in
a dry place and out of the reach of children.
2. Keep your work area well lighted and clean.
3. Do not overreach, especially when working on ladders. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Be certain any ladders being used are sturdy, stable, on a
firm surface and erected at safe working angles.
4. Avoid power lines.
5. Keep moveable items secured and steady while scraping.
6. Always use protective eyewear when working.
7. Stay alert and use common sense when operating any tool.
HAZARD: VIBRATION - may cause hand injury
PREVENTION:
1. Avoid prolonged exposure to vibration.
Some dust, peelings, residue, and vapors caused by paint removal activities contain
chemicals known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive
harm. An example of a chemical would be lead from lead-based paints (do not use a
heat tool to remove lead-based paint). Your risk from exposure varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
