LEAD PAINT WARNING

• Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Paint particles, resulting from the removal of such paint, are toxic and ingestion/ inhalation must, therefore, be avoided. The following action must be taken before using this tool:
• The operator must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed (modern paints do not have lead content).
• DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the work area. The following are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust: Expectant women, babies and children. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items: Paint Spray Respirator (Sealey ref. SSP1699), PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Sealey ref. SSP267), Latex Gloves (Sealey ref. SSP24). Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes, and scrapings. When task is complete continue to wear safety equipment as in 1.3.3. and thoroughly clean all areas. Ensure paint waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers.

OPERATION

PREPARATION

Select and fit a suitable nozzle for the work area (if required). Connect to the power supply, ensuring the On/Off switch (Fig.1.1) is in the ‘0’ position. Set the switch (Fig.1.1) to the required setting, position ‘1’ (80°C) or position ‘2’ (variable – 80 to 600°C). Rotate the temperature dial to the required temperature setting (Fig.1.2). It is best to start at a lower temperature and gradually increase it if necessary. Allow a short period for the gun to reach the desired temperature, using the LCD display for reference.
NOTE: When new, the hot air gun may generate some smoke, this will decrease with use.
Warning: Keep hands away from the immediate nozzle area. If lead paint is being removed follow the safety instructions.

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 hot air 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.

• Always test on a small non-critical area first.
• Select a shaped scraper suitable for the work area, and fix it securely to the scraper handle by tightening the nuts either side of it.
• Hold the gun nozzle 75mm to 100mm from the paint to be removed.
• After a short time the paint will soften and begin to blister.
• DO NOT overheat the paint as this will cause it to burn, making it more difficult to remove. Wear eye protection, especially
• When stripping paint from overhead. If lead paint is being removed, refer to the warning in section 1.
• Begin scraping the paint off. Work from top to bottom. Use the scraper with smooth even strokes, heating the surface in front of the scraper by moving the gun :
• 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. htly from side to side.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Unplug gun from power supply and allow to cool before performing any maintenance.

• Keep the air intake and outlet openings clean and free from dirt and peelings.
• Use only a slightly dampened cloth and mild household cleaning agent to wipe the gun clean.
