2.2 Safety Instructions
DANGER: toxic hazard
Be extremely careful when stripping paint. Paints and thus paint waste may contain
lead, which is poisonous. This is almost certain the case for paint manufactured before
1977. Hand to mouth contact with lead based paint or waste 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. When in doubt, have the paint analysed by a
professional.
LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN. ONLY A
PROFESSIONAL SHOULD HANDLE THESE PAINTS AND RESIDUES.
DANGER: fire hazard
Hidden areas e.g. behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may
contain inflammable materials that could be ignited by the heat gun. The ignition of
these materials may not be readily apparent and could result in property damage and
injury to persons. Check the work area before using the heat gun.
Keep the heat gun in motion during use to avoid local overheating resulting in damage
or the work piece catching fire.
Never leave a working heat gun unattended.
Note that the heat gun has a thermal relay installed to prevent overheating. Always
switch the heat gun off and unplug it from the mains when this thermal relay is
activated, as deactivation of the thermal relay will resume normal heating operation.
Never cover the air outlet or intake.
Keep a fire extinguisher at hand at all times.
