Thank you for purchasing DIAFIELD Heat Tool. This instruction manual contains important information about safety, usage and disposal. Use the appliance as described and keep this manual for future reference. If you sell this heat tool or pass it on, also give this manual to the new owner.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other
panels may contain flammable materials that could be ignited by the heat gun
when working in these locations. The ignition of these materials may not be
readily apparent and could result in property damage and injury to persons.
When working in these locations, keep the heat gun moving in a back-and forth
motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the
material behind it.
WARNING:
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and
vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977paint 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 you 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 HEAT GUN.
Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
-
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.
-
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. 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.
-
Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all clean up is complete.
-
Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and 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 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.
-
Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep the heat gun moving as excessive heat will generate fumes which can be inhaled by the operator.
-
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.
-
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. -
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.
-
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.
A fire may result if the appliance is not used with care, therefore
– be careful when using the appliance in places where there are combustible
materials;

- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose the heat tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering heat tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the heat tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating the heat tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Suitable cord for outdoor use will reduce the risk of electric shock.
- If operating the heat tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the heat tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the heat tool may result in personal injury.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, please wear proper shoes to avoid contact with earthed surfaces.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Note for plug:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
