Removing paint
• Do not use this tool to remove paint containing
lead. The peelings, residue and vapours of paint
may contain lead, which is poisonous.
Any pre-1960 building may have been painted in
the past with paint containing lead and covered
with additional layers of paint. Once deposited on
surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the
ingestion of lead. Exposure even to low levels of
lead can cause irreversible damage to the brain
and nervous system. Young and unborn children
are particularly vulnerable.
• When removing paint, ensure that the work area
is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask.
• Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper provided
and keep the nozzle at leat 25 mm away from the
painted surface. When working in a vertical
direction, work downwards to prevent paint from
falling into the tool and burning.
• Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure that
the work area is thoroughly cleaned after
completing the work.
