Is protection required to use the Speedheater Infrared IR Paint Remover?
You should always protect yourself and your employees from unwanted fumes or dust when removing paint. It is more important to use a respirator in an indoor application than an outdoor application. Outdoors you have a much greater amount of air exchange. Note: At the low operating temperature 400-580 F no plumbic (LEAD) gas is produced. This only occurs at temperatures in excess of 700 degrees. See under accessories respirators for more information.
