Before using, check all
parts for proper function
and damage to component parts.
Do not use this torch to heat, mold, or
bend plastic sheets, molding or tubing.
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
torch moving in a back-and-forth motion.
Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite
the panel or the material behind it.
Extreme care should be taken when stripping
paint. The peelings, residue and 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. LEAD-BASED PAI T SHOULD
O LY BE REMOVED BY A
PROFESSIO AL A D SHOULD OT BE
REMOVED USI G A TORCH.
Persons removing paint should follow
these guidelines:
1) 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.
2) Remove or cover any carpets, rugs,
furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air
ducts.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) 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
ational Institute of Safety and Health
( IOSH), 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 OT
ADEQUATE.
7) Use caution when operating the torch.
Keep the torch moving, as excessive heat
will generate fumes, which can be inhaled
by the operator.
8) 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.
9) 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 OT
SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM. Use a
high phosphate detergent or trisodium
phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.
10) 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.
11) 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.
Never attempt to use torch as a cigarette,
cigar, or pipe lighter.

near objects or substances that may ignite or
become pressurized when heated.
se OSHA specified coating removal
methods when preparing metal work
pieces for heating.
Always make sure the torch is resting
securely on its stand when handling work
with both hands. Tank without stand does
not provide stable support.
Do not touch the torch flame guard, flame
diffuser, tips and attachments until they
have cooled. Torch flame guard, flame
diffuser, tips and attachments become
extremely hot during use and remain hot
after extinguishing.
se caution when operating the torch
outdoors. Bright sun makes it difficult to see
flame of the torch. Wind may carry heat
and/or sparks towards you, areas not
intended to be heated, or combustible
materials.
Allow the torch to completely cool before
refilling fuel, changing accessories,
cleaning, or storing.
Store torch in well ventilated areas.
se only Dremel accessories to ensure
proper operation of Dremel VersaTip.
