Removing Paint (Fig. A)



WARNING: Refer to Important Notice under

Additional safety information before using the

tool to removepaint.



WARNING: Do not strip metal window frames as the

heat may crack theglass.

• When striping other window frames, use a glass

protectionnozzle.

• To prevent igniting the surface, do not keep the

tool directed at one spot toolong.

• Avoid collecting paint on the scraper accessory, as

it may ignite. If necessary, carefully remove paint

debris from the scraper accessory using aknife.

1. Attach the appropriateaccessory.

2. Turn the air temperature adjustment knob/LCD air

temperature indicator and adjuster

4

tohigh.

3. Turn the tool on by selecting the desired airflow.

4. Direct the hot air onto the paint to beremoved.

Best results will be achieved if the heat gun is moved

slowly, but CONSTANTLY, from side to side to evenly

distribute heat. DO NOT LINGER OR PAUSE IN ONESPOT.

5. When the paint softens, scrape the paint away using a

handscraper.

REMEMBER: Splinters and small particles of stripped paint

can be ignited and blown through holes and cracks in the

surface beingstripped.

Stationary Use (Fig.A)

This tool can also be used in stationarymode.

1. Fold down the kickstand

3

as shown in FigureA.

2. Set the tool onto a level, stable workbench. Ensure the

tool will not tipover.

3. Secure the power cord to prevent entanglement or

pulling the tool off theworkbench.

4. Turn the tool on by selecting the desired airflow.

Constant Heat Control

(OverloadProtection)

When the tool is overloaded, this feature protects the

heating element from damage without stopping the tool

and/or without a cool downperiod.

1. When the temperature gets too hot, the heating

element switches itself off. The motor will continue to

run and produce coldair.

2. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently (taking

only a few seconds) the heating element will switch

onautomatically.

Cool Down Period

The nozzle and accessory becomes very hot during use.

Turn heat gun off, disconnect from the power source and

let the tool cool down for at least 30 minutes before moving

or storingit.

nOTE: To reduce the cooling time, switch the tool on at

the lowest air temperature setting and let it run for a few

minutes before turning the heat gunoff.
