• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
(CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if
cutting operation is dusty. All users and bystanders MUST ALWAYS
wear certified safety equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The
symbols and their definitions are as follows:
V ............ volts A ............amperes
Hz .......... hertz W ...........watts
min ......... minutes
..........alternating current
.......direct current
n
o ...........no load speed
........... Class I Construction ...........earthing terminal

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 (usually 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.
PERSONS REMOVING PAINT SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW
THESE GUIDELINES:
• Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the
work area well ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust
fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside
to outside.
