IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Hidden areas such as walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may contain flammable liquids that could be ignited by the hot air gun when working in these locations. The ignition of these materials may not be apparent and could result in property damage and injury to persons. Do not use if in doubt about this hazard. When working in these locations, keep

the hot air gun moving in a back- and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it.

Paint Stripping

WARNING: Extreme care should be taken when strip- ping 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 used a paint analyzer to check the lead content of the paint to be removed. LEAD BASED

PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFES- SIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A HOT AIR GUN.

Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines.

1.Move the work piece out- doors. If this is not possible, keep the work area well ventilated. Open the win- dows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside to outside.
