When stripping paint, ensure that the
u
work area is enclosed. Wear a dust mask
specifically designed for protection against
lead paint dust and fumes and ensure that
persons within or entering the work area are
also protected.
Do not burn paint, as it could cause a fire
u
hazard.
Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle as
u
it could ignite after some time.
Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool
u
before fitting any accessory.
Stripping lead-based paint
Extreme care should be taken when
u
stripping paint. The peelings, residue and
vapours of paint may contain lead, which is
poisonous. Any pre-1960 building may in the
past have been painted with paint contain-
ing lead. This paint may be covered with
additional layers of paint. Once deposited on
surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead.
Exposures to even low levels of lead can
u
cause irreversible brain and nervous system
damage. The greatest danger of lead poi-
soning is to children and pregnant women.

(Original instructions)
Before starting work, it is important to
u
determine whether the paint to be stripped
contains lead. This can be done using a
test kit or by a professional decorator. Do
not smoke, eat or drink in a work area that
could or may be contaminated by lead. Lead
based paints should only be removed by
a professional and should not be removed
using a heat gun.
