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

HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
This heat gun produces extremely high temperatures (as high as 680º F). It must be
used with caution to prevent combustible material from igniting.
PREVENTION:
• Keep the gun in constant motion. Do not stop or dwell in one spot.
• Use extreme caution if the other side of the material being
scraped is inaccessible, such as house siding. Hidden areas
such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other
panels may contain flammable materials that could be
ignited by the heat gun when working in these locations.
The ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent
and could result in property damage and injury to persons.
When working in these locations, keep the heat gun moving
in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one
spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it.
• Do not use near surfaces with cracks or near metal pipes or flashing. Heat may be conducted
behind the work surface and ignite hidden material. The ignition of hidden materials may not
be readily apparent and can result in property damage and injury.
• Do not use electric tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• Do not use near combustible materials such as dry grass and leaves which can scorch and catch fire.
• Use extreme caution when working near paper.
• The nozzle becomes very hot. Do not lay the heat gun on flammable surfaces when operating
the gun or immediately after shutting the gun off. Always set the gun on a flat, level surface so
that the nozzle tip is directed upwards and away from the supporting surface.
• Do not touch the nozzle until the tool has cooled.
• Do not use the heat gun as a hair dryer.
• Tools and paint scrapings become very hot. To avoid burns, use work gloves and eye protection
when scraping.
• Always treat the hot air units with the same respect as an open flame.
• A fire may result if the appliance is not used with care, therefore:
– be careful when using the appliance in places where there are combustible materials;
– do not apply to the same place for a long time;
– do not use in presence of an explosive atmosphere;
– be aware that heat may be conducted to combustible materials that are out of sight;
– place the appliance on its stand after use and allow it to cool down before storage;
– do not leave the appliance unattended when it is switched on.
