IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS R* EAD THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may contain flammable materials that could be ignited by
thehot air gun when working in these locations. The ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent and could result in property damage and
injuryto 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.
Lingeringor pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it. The hot air gun should be used on LOW temperature.
Paint Stripping
WARNING:Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-
1977paint 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
resultin the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn children
areparticularly vulnerable.
Beforebeginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local
healthdepartment or by a professional who used a paint analyzer to check the lead contact of the paint to be removed.
LEAD-BASEDPAINT SHOULD
ONLYBE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A HOT AIR GUN.

1. Movethe work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the work
areawell ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one
