Operation
> Place dust sheets in the work area to catch paint scrapings. Wear protective
clothing such as hats, extra work shirts and overalls. Paint scrapings may
contain chemicals that are hazardous.
NOTE: The proper amount of heat for each application depends on
the temperature range selected, distance between the nozzle and
workpiece as well as the length of time heat is applied. Experiment
with scrap materials and start with the lowest temperature setting.
> Be careful when working until the proper combination of heat, distance and time
of application has been obtained. Use a back and forth motion when applying
heat unless concentrated heat is desirable. Pausing or lingering in one spot
may ignite or melt the workpiece or the material behind it.
Removing paint
Do not use this product to remove paint containing lead. The peelings, residue
and vapours of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1960 building
may have been painted in the past with paint containing lead and covered with
additional layers of paint. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact
can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure even to low levels of lead can cause
irreversible damage to the brain and nervous system. Young and unborn children
are particularly vulnerable.
When removing paint, ensure the work area is enclosed. Wear a dust mask.
Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and keep the nozzle at least 25 mm away
from the painted surface. When working in a vertical direction, work downwards
to prevent paint from falling into the product and burning.
Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure the work area is thoroughly cleaned
after completing the work.
Large surfaces
> Soften the paint using hot air and remove evenly using a spatula.
> Do not heat the paint for too long since this will burn the paint, making it more
difficult to remove.
