EXTENSION CORDS

Double insulated tools, like this one, have two prong cords, and can use either a two or three

prong extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, however, heavier gauge

extension cords are required. The use of exten- sion cords of inacfequate size wire causes a seri- ous drop in voltage and loss of power. Protect the cord from damage. Keep cords away from

excessive heat, sharp edges and damp or wet areas. Repair or replace damaged extension

cords before using.

WARNING!

This tool is capable of producting temperatures

up to 1000 ° F of flameless heat at the nozzle. ALWAYS:

® Direct the heat away from yourself and.others. @ Prevent ignition of combustible materials on

or near the workpiece.

PERSONS REMOVING PAINT

SHOULD FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES.

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.

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.

Work in one room at a time. Furni- shings should be removed or placed

in the center of the room and cover- ed. Work areas should be sealed off

from the rest of the dwelling by seal- ing doorways with drop cloths.

Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing moth-

Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask

which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Ad- ministration (OSHA), the National In-

stitute of Safety and Health (NIOSH),

or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replace- able filters-are readily available at major 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.

or tobacco in the work area.

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.

ble 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 separa-

tely. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then washed with the work

clothes. Wash hair and body thor- oughly with soap and water.
