4. Direct the hot air onto the paint to be removed.
Best results will be achieved if the heat gun is moved slowly, but CONSTANTLY,
from side to side to evenly distribute heat. DO NOT LINGER OR PAUSE IN ONE
SPOT.
5. When the paint softens, scrape the paint away using a hand scraper.
REMEMBER: Splinters and small particles of stripped paint can be ignited and blown
through holes and cracks in the surface being stripped.
Stationary Use (Fig. 1)
This tool can also be used in stationary mode.
1. Fold down the kickstand (C) as shown in Figure 1.
2. Set the tool onto a level, stable workbench. Ensure the tool will not tip over.
3. Secure the power cord to prevent entanglement or pulling the tool off the
workbench.
4. Turn the tool on by selecting the desired air flow.
Constant Heat Control (Overload Protection)
When the tool is overloaded, this feature protects the heating element from damage
without stopping the tool and/or without a cool down period.
1. When the temperature gets too hot, the heating element switches itself off. The
motor will continue to run and produce cold air.
2. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently (taking only a few seconds) the
heating element will switch on automatically.
Tool Ring (Fig. 1)

Cool Down Period
The nozzle and accessory becomes very hot during use. Turn heat gun off, disconnect
from the power source and let the tool cool down for at least 30 minutes before
moving or storing it.
