9)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 or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.

10)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.

11)Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the dwelling. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.

!WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•Lead from lead-based paints,

•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•Arsenic and chromium from chemically- treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

General Safety Rules for Heat Guns

Never use heat guns as ! DANGER hairdryers! You will be

seriously injured.

Avoid contact with nozzle of heat gun during use. This heat gun generates temperatures as high as 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. You may be seriously burned.

Do not use heat guns in the rain, moisture or immerse in water. Exposing the heat gun element to water or other liquids may cause electrical shock hazard.

Do not use heat guns in areas where flammable liquids or gases may be stored or are present. The heat gun generates high temperatures and may ignite these materials.

Work Area

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate heating appliance in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust, dry grass, leaves and paper. Heating appliances generate high temperatures which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Combustible materials like dry grass, leaves and paper will scorch and may catch fire.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a heating appliance. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

Before plugging in the heating appliance, be certain the outlet voltage supplied is compatible with the voltage marked on the nameplate within 10%. An outlet voltage incompatible with that specified on the nameplate can result in serious hazards and damage to the heating appliance.

When operating a heating appliance use Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) on the circuit or outlet. Don’t expose heating appliance to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a heating appliance will create an electric shock hazard.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the heating appliance or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords create electric shock hazard.
