OPERATION
4.1. PREPARING THE HOT AIR GUN FOR USE
4.1.1. Before plugging into the mains ensure the gun switch is in the ‘Off’
position.
4.1.2. When ready to start work, set the power switch to the required
temperature setting I (low), II (medium), or III (High). Allow time to heat
up.
NOTE: When new, the hot air gun may generate smoke which will decrease
with use.
‰ WARNING! KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE NOZZLE AREA. IF LEAD PAINT
IS BEING REMOVED FOLLOW THE
SAFETY WARNING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND EYE
PROTECTION.
4.2. PAINT AND VARNISH REMOVAL
The easy removal of paint and varnish requires practice. Follow these simple
working techniques to achieve the required result.
NOTE: The heat gun is designed to remove both oil and latex-based paints
and varnishes from surfaces. It will not remove stains or primer coats that
have impregnated the surface.
4.2.1. Attach the required nozzle.
4.2.2. Switch the hot air gun on and allow it to reach its operating
temperature.
4.2.3. Always test on a small non-critical area first.
Hold the hot air gun nozzle 3” (75mm) to 4” (100mm) from the paint to be
removed.
4.2.4. After a short time the paint will soften and begin to blister.
DO NOT overheat the paint as this will cause it to burn which makes it
more difficult to remove. Wear eye protection, especially
when stripping paint from overhead. If lead paint is being removed, refer to
the warning at the beginning of this manual.
4.2.5. Begin scraping the paint off. Work from top to bottom. Use a scraper
with smooth even strokes, warming the surface in front of the scraper by
moving the gun slightly from side to side.
4.2.6. If the correct temperature has been applied to the paint, thick, even
layers can be removed in a single pass (paint should be removed in strips
equal in width to the scraper blade). Scrape paint as soon as it becomes soft,
as it will re-harden very quickly.
4.2.7. Keep the scraper blade edge clean and sharp to prevent paint peelings
from building up.
4.2.8. After softening, shaped or profiled surfaces may be stripped by using a
wire brush.
4.2.9. To protect surrounding surfaces from the heat, cover with non-flammable
material.
DO NOT concentrate the heat gun on the glass as the glass may crack.
MAINTENANCE
5.1 Unplug the hot air gun from the power supply before performing any
maintenance.
5.2.Keep the air intake and outlet openings clean and free from dirt and
peelings.
5.3.Use only a damp cloth and mild household cleaning agent to wipe the hot
air gun clean. DO NOT use turpentine, paint thinner,
gasoline, or similar substances to clean the hot air gun.
5.4. Check the hot air gun, power lead, and nozzles for damage before storage.
5.5. Store the hot air gun in a safe, dry, childproof area.
