Important Safety Information

Read all safety information before operating the equipment. Save these instructions

To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of the equipment. Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
HAZARD: POISON

Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapours of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any paint applied to homes before 1950 is likely to contain lead.
Any paint manufactured before 1977 may contain lead. Once the paint is deposited on surfaces, hand-to-mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage. Young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning. Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyser to check the lead content of the paint to be removed. Lead-based paint should only be removed by a professional and should not be removed using a Heat Gun.

PREVENTION:

Move the workpiece outdoors, sheltered from rain. If this is not possible, keep the work area well-ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside to outside.

• Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.
• Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.
• Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the centre of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.
• Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all cleanup is complete.
• Wear an approved dust respirator mask or a dual filter respirator mask for dust and fumes. These masks and replaceable filters are readily available at major hardware stores. Be sure that the mask fits properly. Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing properly. Change the filters often. Disposable paper masks are not adequate.
• Use caution when operating the Heat Gun. Keep the Heat Gun moving as excessive heat will generate fumes that can be inhaled by the operator.
• Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
• Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surface where paint dust is clinging. Do not sweep, dry dust or vacuum. Use a high phosphate detergent of trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.
• At the end of each work session, put the paint chips and debris in a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties and dispose of it properly.
• Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the building. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag and then wash it with work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
This Heat Gun produces extremely high temperatures (as high as 630°C). It must be used with caution to prevent combustible material from igniting.

PREVENTION:

• Keep the Heat Gun in constant motion. Do not stop or dwell in one spot.

• Use extreme caution if the other side of the material being scraped is inaccessible, such as house siding. The hidden side could catch on fire if it becomes too hot. Some buildings contain highly flammable materials behind siding walls, floors, facia, soffit boards and other panels. Check these areas before applying heat and do not use a heat tool if flammable materials are present or if you are unsure of the hidden material.

• Do not use near surfaces with cracks or near metal pipes or flashing. Heat may be conducted behind the work surface and ignite hidden material. The ignition of hidden materials may not be readily apparent and can result in property damage and injury.

• Do not use electric tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

• Do not use near combustible materials such as dry grass, leaves, and paper which can scorch and catch fire.

• The nozzle becomes very hot. Do not lay the Heat Gun on flammable surfaces when operating the gun or immediately after switching the gun off. Always set the gun on a flat, level surface so that the nozzle tip is directed upwards and away from the supporting surface.

• Do not touch the nozzle until the tool has cooled.

• Do not use the Heat Gun as a hair dryer.

• Tools and paint scrapings become very hot. To avoid burns, use work gloves and eye protection when scraping.

• Always treat the Heat Gun with the same respect as an open flame.

• Do not use in the presence of an explosive atmosphere.

HAZARD: ELECTRIC

• May cause property damage, severe injury or loss of life. PREVENTION:
• Do not disassemble the Heat Gun.
• Do not work in wet areas or expose the Heat Gun to rain or moisture. Guard against electric shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, aluminium ladders or other grounded devices.
• Do not abuse the cordset. Never carry the Heat Gun by the cordset or yank on the cordset to disconnect it from the power supply. Keep the cordset away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Inspect the cordset for wear or damage regularly.
• If an extension cord is damaged or otherwise unsuitable for use, replace it with a new extension cord.

HAZARD: GENERAL

May cause property damage or severe injury. PREVENTION:

• Always disconnect the Heat Gun from the power supply when not in use. Store indoors in a dry place and out of the reach of unsupervised children.
• Keep your work area well-lit and clean.
• Do not overreach, especially when working on ladders. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Be certain any ladders being used are sturdy, stable, on firm ground and erected at safe working angles.
• Avoid power lines.
• Keep moveable items secured and steady while scraping.
• Always use protective eyewear when working.
• Stay alert and use common sense when operating any tool.
• Never use to thaw frozen pipes located inside walls or near combustibles. Always use a reflector nozzle (P/N2366225) to thaw frozen pipes.
• Do not leave the heat gun unattended while it is switched on.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

The heat gun carries case with AngleLoc has been specifically designed to locate the heat gun in the upright position for work on uneven surfaces.

AngleLoc mount Fig. 6a & 6b

• 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.

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: A lways 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 FURNO 750 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.

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.

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.

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 that 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 unless they are older than 8 years and supervised.
• 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.
