Intended Use

These tools, except the pad applicator CMP-1, are intended primarily for applying 3M™

Scotchcal™ Graphic Film for Textured Surfaces IJ8624 or 8624 ES to moderately textured

wall surfaces using high heat. The use of such high heat with other films is not

recommended.

Health and Safety

WARNING

!

Physical Comfort

Any activity performed for a long period of time in an awkward position or with a high

amount of force is potentially a risk for causing musculoskeletal strain, pain or injury. When

applying graphics, follow these practices to improve comfort and avoid injury:

• Alternative your tasks during the application.

• Schedule regular breaks.

• Perform stretches or do exercises to improve circulation.

• Avoid awkward reaching.

WARNING

!

Risks of Using Heat Sources

• Read, understand and follow the safety instructions contained in both this 3M Instruc­

tion Bulletin as well as the heat-gun manufacturer's manual.

• Wear a heat-resistant glove on the hand(s) holding the applicator.

• Do not use heat sources near solvent mixtures or residues, or in areas where solvent

vapors may be present at hazardous levels.

• Never use an open-flame heat source in this process.

CAUTION

!

Ventilation

Always provide adequate ventilation to remove emissions that may result from the use of

heat. Failure to provide adequate ventilation can result in operator exposure.

High Heat May Degrade Foam Rollers and Damage Substrate

High heat directed at the foam may degrade the foam. Always direct the heat toward the

film, not the foam roller.

High heat may also damage the substrate: use with caution.

Air Quality Regulations

State Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) regulations may prohibit the use of certain cleaning

solutions. For example, the California South Coast Air Quality Management District prohibits

use of certain solvent-based solutions without a permit and other California AQMD's prohibit

use of certain solutions without a permit or a regulatory exemption. You should check with

your State environmental authorities to determine whether use of this solution is restricted

or prohibited.
