REMOVING PAINT
Heat the paint until it begins to soften. Do not point the outlet too long at the same point, this can damage or burn the surface. When the paint has softened, scrape it off with a suitable scraper in the direction of the grain in the wood. Practice to find a suitable heating time for the required result. Scrape off the paint as soon as it softens, otherwise, it will harden again. Do not allow paint residue to accumulate on the product- risk of ignition. Work from up and down on vertical surfaces, so that impurities do not drop into the nozzle.
WARNING!
Always be very careful when removing paint. Flaking paint, residue and
fumes may contain lead, which is poisonous.
IMPORTANT:
The product is not suitable for removing paint on metal window frames
because the conductive capacity of the metal can deform the frames and crack
the glass.
