Handling Your Heat Gun
Do not place your hand over the ventilation slots (3) or block
these vents in any way. This restricts the airflow through the
element and causes over heating.
Setting the temperature (fig. B)
•
To increase the temperature setting, turn the heat control
knob (2) anti-clockwise.
•
To reduce the temperature setting, turn the heat control
knob clockwise.
Operating Your Heat Gun (fig. C)
•
To switch your heat gun on at the low temperature
setting, press the switch (1) to depress to position "I".
•
To switch the tool on at the high temperature setting, set
the switch (1) to position "II".
•
To switch the tool off, set the on/off switch (1) to position
"0".
Note: Allow the element to heat up for a few seconds before
use. Initially, some smoke may emit from your heat gun. This
is normal and will soon cease.
Cooling Down
In use, the nozzle (4) of your heat gun becomes extremely
hot. Great care is necessary when cooling your heat gun
after use.
Hands Free Use (fig. D)
This tool can also be used in stationary mode.
•
Place the tool onto a firm and stable surface as shown.
•
Always point your heat gun away from you.
•
Secure the cable to prevent pulling your heat gun off the
stand.
Do not touch the nozzle (4) and ensure that nothing
is dropped into the nozzle. Carefully switch off your
heat gun and then allow it to cool
Paint Stripping
Your heat gun is designed to soften paint and lacquer
enabling it to be removed using a good quality hand scraper.
Proceed as follows: Direct the hot air onto the area to be
removed. When the paint softens, scrape firmly. Experiment
to establish the length of time necessary to apply the heat to
obtain optimum results. Scrape the softened paint
immediately or it will harden again.
Your heat gun is not suitable for stripping metal-framed
windows. This is because the heat from the heat gun is
conducted through the metal and can crack the glass. Scrape
with the grain of the wood wherever possible. Do not linger
on one spot for too long as the surface may char or ignite.
Accessories
The performance of your tool depends on the accessory
used. Black & Decker and Piranha accessories are
engineered to high quality standards and designed to
enhance the performance of your tool. By using these
accessories you will get the very best from your tool.
Maintenance
Your tool has been designed to operate over a long period of
time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory
operation depends upon proper tool care and regular
cleaning.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance, switch off and
unplug the tool.
•
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a
soft brush or dry cloth.
•
Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth.
Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
