Maintenance; Protecting The Environment - Black & Decker KX2200 Original Instructions Manual

♦ Use a high temperature setting for removing
paints and lacquers, and soldering plumbing
joints.
♦ If you are unsure about using this tool on a par-
ticular material, start with a low temperature
setting and perform a test on scrap material.
Hands free use (fi g. B)
The tool has stand locations (4) to facilitate hands
free use.
♦ Place the tool with the nozzle up on a surface
where it cannot be tipped over.
♦ Secure the cable to prevent pulling the tool over.
Warning! Always point the tool away from yourself
or other persons. Do not touch the nozzle. Take care
that no material drops into the nozzle.
Paint stripping
♦ Direct the hot air at the working area to heat up
the paint.
♦ Do not burn the paint. Keep the nozzle at least
25 mm from the surface.
♦ When the paint softens, remove the paint using
a scraper. Scrape the softened paint immedi-
ately or it will harden again.
♦ Scrape with the grain of the wood wherever
possible.
♦ Do not allow paint and debris to collect on the
scraper.
♦ When scraping from a vertical position, scrape
downwards to prevent the paint from falling back
into the nozzle.
♦ When stripping paint from a surface next to
glass, take the necessary measures to protect
the glass from the heat.
Warning! Use a glass protector nozzle when strip-
ping paint from metal or wood framed windows.
♦ Dispose of all paint debris safely and make sure
that the work area is thoroughly clean after use.
Cooling down
During use, the nozzle of the tool becomes ex-
tremely hot. After switching off, leave the tool to cool
down for at least 30 minutes.
♦ Place the tool with the nozzle up on a surface
where it cannot be tipped over.
♦ To speed up the cooling time, run the tool on
a low minimum temperature setting for a few
minutes before switching off.
