▪ Do not touch the metal nozzle as it becomes very hot during use and remains hot for up to
30 minutes after use.
▪ Do not place the nozzle against anything while using or immediately after use.
▪ Do not poke anything down the nozzle as it could give you an electric shock. Do not look
down the nozzle while the unit is working because of the high temperatures being
produced.
▪ Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or scraper as it could ignite after some time
7 REMOVING PAINT
▪ Do not use this tool to remove paint containing lead. The peelings, residue and vapors 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 that the work area is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust
mask.
▪ Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper provided and keep the nozzle at leaf 25 mm away
from the painted surface. When working in a vertical direction, work downwards to prevent
paint from falling into the tool and burning.
▪ Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after
completing the work.
