You can now simply press the plus or minus button on the control panel until you reach your desired temperature setting, this will be indicated by the temperature bar being lit.
   IMPORTANT: If the blower motor in the heat gun does not turn on when the POWER button is activated, turn the switch OFF immediately. The heating element will burn out if it is not cooled by the blower.

5. During rest periods or when you are finished with your project, press the power button to enter cool down mode (Fig. 5). The blue cool down indicator light will turn on and the gun will continue to run with the element disabled, for cooling.

6. Set the gun down in an upright position. The heat gun will shut itself off after 3 minutes.

7. To override cool down mode press and hold the power button for 2 to 3 seconds. The gun will power off immediately.

Following Cool down mode the barrel of the gun will still be hot.
Note: Smoke may appear during the first start up due to the burning of manufacturing oils. The smoke should disperse shortly after first start up.

Hands-free operation

The Heat Gun has an integrated stand (Fig. 1, 4) for bench top applications and for cooling down. Alternatively the optional heat gun carry case (Fig. 7) has been specifically designed to locate the heat gun in the upright position for work on uneven surfaces.

AngleLoc (carry case)

• A: Insert the back of the heat gun so that the rear stabilizing fins locate themselves below the ridges on the side wall of the cavity in the top of the carry case.
• B: Then slide the heat gun forward so that it naturally locks into place at a 135 degree angle. The heat gun should now be secure for upright use.

AngleLoc carry case can be purchased separately. See page 13
IMPORTANT: If the motor-driven fan in the Heat Gun does not turn on when the switch is set to either LOW or HIGH, turn the switch OFF immediately. The heating element will burn out if it is not cooled by the motor-driven fan.
Note: Always set the Heat Gun upright after it is turned off, either for a short break or for storage. Avoid laying the unit on the side after shutdown. The heat will remain in the unit and cooling will take longer. Store the unit only after the nozzle is cool. Unplug the unit before storing to prevent accidental start-up.
IMPORTANT: Always protect glass when working near windows.

• Do not touch nozzle or any other tool being used when working. These become extremely hot and will cause severe burns. Wear gloves to protect hands from hot scrapings.

Many variables affect heating applications, such as the material being heated, ambient temperature, the distance from the gun to the substrate and the heating technique. For this reason Wagner has provided temperature guidelines for certain applications. Always start the heat gun at the lowest temperature in the range then raise the temperature until the optimum temperature is achieved. Always keep the heat gun in motion and at least 5cm from the substrate when applying heat.
The F500 Heat Gun is one of the most versatile tools you can own. It can be used for a great variety of projects, from big DIY to small Art & Crafts jobs. For more details on multiple projects and ‘how to’ videos please visit our website www.wagner-group.com.

Stripping Paint

The Heat Gun heats up the surface and causes the paint to soften, at which time it can be scraped off easily without damaging the surface. Some paints may soften even though they do not blister; some may become rubbery, and some may require higher heat. When working with several layers of paint, it speeds up the scraping process to heat the surface thoroughly, all the way to the wood., then all the layers can be scraped at one time. A soft wire brush may be the best tool to use for very intricate surfaces. Mineral paints and finishes, such as cement paint and porcelain, do not soften with heat, so using a heating tool will not work for paint removal.

The best method of paint removal
Move the Heat Gun slowly and steadily forward at an angle to the surface, pointing the nozzle in the direction of motion. This allows you to scrape safely outside the hot air stream and keeps the scraper and the scraped surface cooler.

• A. Warm air preheats the surface.
• B. Paint is softened by hot air.

• A + B. Deep penetration of heat over total area.
• C. Paint can be easily scraped off as soon as it is softened and the gun is moved forward.
• D. Stripped surface allowed to cool.

Note: Do not use the Heat Gun on surfaces that can be damaged by heat, such as vinyl-coated panelling, vinyl-coated siding or vinyl-coated window frames.
When removing paint from window frames, the Heat Gun will soften the putty. Be careful not to gouge the putty with the scraper. The putty will firm up after it cools. Do not use the Heat Gun on insulating laminated window glass such as Thermopane. The glass edge expansion may break the edge seal. When scraping facia, do not overheat the edges of the asphalt shingles protruding over the edge of the sheathing. Too much heat will melt the asphalt.
IMPORTANT: The removal of paint by a Heat Gun is safe if the above guidelines are used, but always keep either a container of water or an ABC fire extinguisher (suitable against Class A, B and C type fires) within reach.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Keep the intake openings on the housing clean and free of obstructions. Use a soft, dry brush to clean the openings periodically. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the Heat Gun. Many household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage the housing. Do not use petroleum, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products when cleaning the Heat Gun. NEVER allow any liquid to get inside the tool or immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children.

Storage
Allow the Heat Gun nozzle to cool to room temperature before placing in storage. The nozzle will turn dark over time because of the high heat. This is normal and will not affect the performance or life of the unit.
