Safety Warnings for Removing Paint with
the Heat Gun
1. Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep
the work area well ventilated. Open the windows and put
an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving
the air from inside to outside.
2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing,
cooking utensils and air ducts.
3. Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint
chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra
work shirts, overalls and hats.
4. Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be
removed or placed in the center of the room and covered.
Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the
dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.
5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and
nursing mothers should not be present in the work area
until the work is done and all clean up is complete.
6. Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and
fume) respirator mask. Change filters often. DISPOSABLE
PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
7. Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep the heat
gun moving, as excessive heat will generate fumes, which
can be inhaled by the operator.
8. Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands,
arms and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking.
Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
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.

are not included. They must be purchased separately. Model
24V-HG100-CT is compatible with the iON+ 24V System
batteries and chargers. See page 13 for more information.
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only
be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling
of the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor
care of high-performance batteries are the main factors
responsible for personal and/or product damage.
