To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical
shock and the injury to persons, read and
understand all instructions included in this
manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper
usage of the equipment.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious

HAZARD: POISON
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings,
residue and vapours of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous.
Any paint applied to homes before 1950 is likely to contain lead.
Any paint manufactured before 1977 may contain lead. Once the
paint is 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 to lead poisoning.
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
analyser 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.
PREVENTION:
Move the work piece outdoors, sheltered from rain. 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.
• Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking
utensils and air ducts.
• Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or
peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls
and hats.
• Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or
placed in the centre of the room and covered. Work areas should
be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with
drop cloths.
• Wear an approved dust respirator mask or a dual filter respirator
mask for dust and fumes. These masks and replaceable filters are
readily available at major hardware stores. Be sure that the mask
fits properly. Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing
properly. Change the filters often. Disposable paper masks are not
adequate.
• Use caution when operating the Heat Gun. Keep the Heat Gun
moving as excessive heat will generate fumes which can be inhaled
by the operator.
• Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms and face
and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew
gum or tobacco in the work area.
• Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors.
Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surface where
paint dust is clinging. Do not sweep, dry dust or vacuum. Use a high
phosphate detergent of trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop
areas.
• At the end of each work session, put the paint chips and debris in
a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties and dispose of
properly.
• Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to
avoid carrying dust into the rest of the building. Wash work clothes
separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag and then wash it with the
work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.
