3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1.
Preparing the hot air gun for use
3.1.1. Before plugging into the mains ensure the gun switch is in the off '0' position.
3.1.2. When ready to start work, set switch to the required temperature setting (fig.1) and air flow speed (fig.2).
Allow one and a half minutes to heat.
NOTE: When new, the heat gun may generate smoke which will decrease with use.
WARNING! KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE NOZZLE AREA. IF LEAD PAINT IS bEING REMOVED FOLLOW THE
SAFETY WARNING AT THE bEGINNING OF THIS MANuAL. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND EYE PROTECTION.
3.2.
Paint and varnish removal
the easy removal of paint and varnish requires practice. Follow these simple working techniques to achieve the required result.
NOTE: the heat gun is designed to remove both oil and latex based paints and varnishes from surfaces. It will not remove stains
or primer coats that have impregnated the surface.
3.2.1. Switch the gun on and allow it to reach its operating temperature.
3.2.2. Always test on a small non-critical area first.
3.2.3. Hold the gun nozzle 3" (75mm) to 4" (100mm) from the paint to be removed.
3.2.4. After a short time the paint will soften and begin to blister.
3.2.5. Do not overheat the paint as this will cause it to burn which makes it more difficult to remove. Wear eye protection, especially
when stripping paint from overhead. If lead paint is being removed, refer to the warning at the beginning of this manual.
3.2.6. Begin scraping the paint off. Work from top to bottom. Use a scraper with smooth even strokes, warming the surface in front
of the scraper by moving the gun slightly from side to side.
3.2.7. If the correct temperature has been applied to the paint, thick, even layers can be removed in a single pass (paint should be
removed in strips equal in width to the scraper blade). Scrape paint as soon as it becomes soft, as it will re-harden very quickly.
3.2.8. Keep the scraper blade edge clean and sharp to prevent paint peelings from building up.
3.2.9. After softening, shaped or profiled surfaces may be stripped by using a wire brush.
3.2.10. to protect surrounding surfaces from the heat, cover with a non-flammable material.
IMPORTANT: Do not concentrate the heat gun on glass as the glass may crack.
