Heat Gun Safety Warnings
Hidden areas behind walls, 1.
ceilings, oors, soft boards,
and other panels may contain
ammable materials that could
be ignited by the heat gun when
working in these locations. The
ignition of these materials may not
be readily apparent and could result
in property damage and injury to
persons. When working in these
locations, keep the heat gun moving
in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering
or pausing in one spot could ignite
the panel or the material behind it.
Extreme care should be taken 2.
when stripping paint. The peelings,
residue and vapors of paint may
contain lead, which is poisonous.
Any pre-1977 paint may contain
lead and paint applied to homes
prior to 1950 is likely to contain
lead. Once deposited on surfaces,
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 and unborn children
are particularly vulnerable. 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. LEAD BASED PAINT
SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY
A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD
NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEAT
GUN.
Exercise CAUTION when using 3.
this product outdoors. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, keep
extension cord connection dry and off

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.

furniture, clothing, cooking utensils
