HOT AIR TOOL ENGLISH 3
WARNING: LEAD-BASED PAINTS
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre­1977 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 your 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 HOT AIR TOOL.

Hot Air Tool Operational Guidelines - All Models
HELPFUL HINTS PRIOR TO USE
• Keep the scraping tool edge clean to help make the job easier.
• Do not use the hot air tool on surfaces that can be damaged by heat such as vinyl, siding, gutters, window frames.
• When removing paint from window frames, the hot air tool will soften the putty. Be care­ful not to gouge the putty with the scraper. The putty will firm up after it cools.
• Do not use the hot air tool on insulated lami­nated window glass such as Thermopane. The glass edge expansion may break the edge seal.
• When scraping fascia, do not overheat the edges of the asphalt shingles protruding over the edge of the sheathing. Too much heat will melt the asphalt.
The removal of paint by heat is safe if the below guidelines are used; however you should always keep either a container of water or an ABC fire extinguisher within reach.
GUIDELINES FOR REMOVING PAINT
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, furni-
ture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts. If they cannot be removed place in center of the room and cover.
3. Place drop cloths in the 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 cleanup is complete.
6. Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask, which has been approved by the Occupational Safety & 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 home center and hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing properly. Change filters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER
MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
7. Use caution when operating the hot air tool. Keep the hot air tool 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. Cleanup all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surfaces 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.
HOT AIR TOOL ENGLISH 5
Hot Air Tool Operational Guidelines - All Models
HOW TO STRIP PAINT
1. Warm air preheats the surface. The hot air tool heats up the surface and causes the paint to soften so it can be scrapped off easily with­out damaging the surface.
2.Paint is softened by the hot air. Some paints soften without blistering and some may become rubbery and other paints may require higher heat.
3.Deep penetration of heat over total area. When working with several layers of paint, it helps to heat the surface thoroughly so all the layers can be scraped away at one time.
NOTE:
• A soft wire brush may be the best tool for very intricate surfaces.
• Mineral paints and finishes, such as cement paint and porcelain do not soften and cannot be removed with the hot air tool.
• Do not try to burn off the paint, but soften it sufficiently to be easily scraped off. Scorching can discolor the wood underneath.
4.Paint can be easily scraped off as soon as it is softened and the hot air tool is moved forward. The best method to remove paint is move the hot air tool slowly and steadily forward at an angle to the surface, pointing the nozzle in the direction of motion. This allows you to scrape safely outside the hot air stream and keeps the scraper and the scraped surface cooler.
5.Allow stripped surface to cool.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Never allow any liquid to get inside the hot air tool or immerse any part of the hot air tool into a liquid. Ensure the intake openings and the housing are clean and free of obstructions. If necessary use a soft, dry brush to clean the intake opening and housing. Only use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the hot air tool. Do not use household cleaners in cleaning the hot air tool since many household cleaners contain chemicals, which could seriously damage the hot air tool housing. Do not use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products to clean the hot air tool.
STORAGE
The hot air tool nozzle must cool to room temperature before placing the hot air tool in storage. Over time the nozzle will turn dark because of the high heat, and this is normal and will not affect the performance or life of the hot air tool.
