HARDWARE
Lead paint and solvents
The fumes and dust from lead paint are very harmful and poisonous. Therefore, ensure there
is adequate ventilation when working in confined spaces.
Never use the paint stripper together with chemical solvents.
Smoke may come out of the body of the paint stripper the first time it is turned on.
The first few times, you may want to use the paint stripper on a very small area and verify
the results before proceeding to larger areas.
N.B. The paint stripper is designed to remove water and oil-based paints.
Conversely, it is not suitable to deal with fillers.
 Wait about one minute to allow the paint stripper to heat up completely.
 Hold the nozzle 8 to 10 cm from the paint that must be removed. The paint will
become soft and begin to bubble; do not burn it or the job will be more difficult.
 Begin to scrape the paint from the top down using a spatula or scraper: scrape with a
light touch and even surface heating in front of the scraper, moving the paint stripper
slightly from side to side.
 Scrape the paint as soon as it softens, otherwise it will harden again.
 Frequently clean the edge of the scraper so it remains sharp and to prevent paint from
accumulating.
 Paint can be removed from profiled or moulded surfaces using a wire brush.
