In my experience, you can regulate the pressure. For me, it only took all the 
loose paint off, and attacked the pith only on the stained (not painted) would. 
But, since it was rough-sawn cedar, new stain made it look fine again.

It will take all the paint off.  Also the pith of the wood.  Maybe not such
a good idea.
