4. Operation Guide
Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
Use only one hand to hold the tool, do not place your other hand over the air vents
Prior to operation :
•
Mount the correct accessory for the application.
•
Set the desired air temperature.
Switching On and Off
To switch the tool on, set the on/off switch to position [I] or [II] (low or high). Some smoke may be emitted after switching on; this
does not indicate a problem.
To switch the tool off, set the switch to the Low Setting [I] and let it run for a few minutes. Then set the on/off switch to position
[0]. Let the tool cool down before moving or storing it.
Temperature Settings.
Turn ON/OFF switch to [I] or [II] (low or high) depending on temperature you need. The heat gun will start to buzz. You can
increase or decrease the outlet temperature gradually by turning the adjust knob. Turn anti-clockwise to decrease and clockwise
to increase the temperature.
Stripping Paint
•
Mount an appropriate accessory
•
Set a high air temperature
•
Switch the tool on
•
Direct the hot air onto the paint to be removed
•
When the paint softens, scrape the paint away using a hand scraper
•
Do not strip metal window frames, as the heat may be conducted onto the glass and crack it.
•
When stripping other window frames, use a glass protection nozzle.
•
Do not keep the tool directed at one spot too long to prevent igniting the surface.
•
Avoid collecting paint on the scraper accessory (if included), as it may ignite. If necessary, carefully remove paint debris from
the scraper accessory using a knife.
•
Do not use this tool to remove paint containing lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is
poisonous. Any pre-1960 building may have been painted in the past with paint containing lead and covered with additional
layers of paint.
•
Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
•
Exposure even to low levels of lead can cause irreversible damage to the brain and nervous system. Young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
•
When removing paint., ensue that the work area is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask.
•
Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and keep the nozzle at leaf 25 mm away from the painted surface. When working in a
vertical direction, work downwards to prevent paint from falling into the tool and burning.
•
Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after completing the work.
Stationary use
•
This tool can also be used in stationary mode.
•
Unfold the Hang Hook and place the tool onto the workbench.
•
Secure the cable to prevent pulling the tool off the workbench.
•
Carefully switch the tool on.
•
Make sure that the nozzle always points away from you and any bystanders.
•
Make sure not to drop anything into the nozzle.
Cool Down Period
The nozzle and accessory become very hot during use. Let them cool down before attempting to move or store the tool.
To reduce the cooling time, set the on/off switch to position [I] and let it run for a few minutes.
Switch the tool off and let it cool down for at least 30 minutes.
