1� Hidden areas 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�

2� Extreme care should be taken when

stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous� Any pre-1977 paint 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 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� This can be done by your local health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check the lead content of the paint to be removed� LEAD BASED

PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN.

3� Exercise CAUTION when using this

product outdoors. To reduce the risk

of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground�

Page 4 ;&(%$*4.8"4,7%<'*#$"&8#=%/7*,#*%4,77%>?@@@?@AA?BCDC1 Item 64112

4� Persons removing paint should

follow these guidelines:

a� 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�

b� Remove or cover any carpets,

rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts�

c� 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�

d� 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 sealed doorways with drop cloths�

e� 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�

f� Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter

(dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines� These masks and replaceable filters are readily available at major hardware stores� Make sure the mask fits� Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing properly� Change filters often� ULEJIEFST6%

JFJ6K%NFEYE%FK6%MIG%FU6`PFG61

g� 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�

h� 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 tobacco in the work area�

i� 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� UI%MIG%EQ66J=%UKH%UPEG% IK%!FOPPN1%%Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas�

j� 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�

k� 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�

5� When working with plastics, varnish, or

similar materials, gases develop that are easily flammable and can lead to explosions� Be prepared for flames to develop and keep suitable fire extinguishing means at hand�

6� The Nozzle becomes very hot� Do not

lay the Heat Gun on flammable surfaces when operating the Gun or immediately after turning the Gun off� Always set the Heat Gun on a flat, level surface so that the Nozzle tip is directed upwards and away from the supporting surface�

7� Do not use the Heat Gun near

flammable materials�

8� Do not point the Heat Gun at people or

animals� The intense heat can injure them�

9� Do not touch the tube of the heating

element or the Nozzle when they are hot� They will be hot enough to cause burns during use and for some time afterwards�

10� Do not use the Heat Gun on glass�

11� Do not use the Heat Gun as a hair dryer�

12� Do not heat up materials that can be

damaged by high temperatures�

1� A short power-supply cord (or short

detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord�

2� Extension cords (or longer detachable

power-supply cords) are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use�

3� If an extension cord (or a long detachable

power-supply cord) is used:

a� The marked electrical rating of the

detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;

b� The longer cord should be arranged

so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children)�

4� As the distance from the supply outlet

increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord� Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage� [E**%G,+7*%F1\

5� The smaller the gauge number of the wire,

the greater the capacity of the cord� For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord� [E**%G,+7*%F1\

6� When using more than one extension cord

to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required� [E**%G,+7*%F1\

7� If you are using one extension cord for more

than one tool, add the nameplate%amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size� [E**%G,+7*%F1\

8� If you are using an extension cord

outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use�

9� Make sure the extension cord is properly

wired and in good electrical condition� Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it�

10� Protect the extension cords from

sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas�
