Hidden areas 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�

vapors of paint may contain lead, which 

is poisonous�  Any pre‑1977 paint 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�
