5) SCRAPER(See Fig 8)
The scraper is ideal for stripping paint from flat
wooden surface and edges.
Remember to clean the blade after use with wire
wool and lightly oil before storing.
8. REMOVING PAINT
Choose the required nozzle and fit onto the heat
outlet. Select the correct scraper for the applica-
tion. Hold the gun with the nozzle approximately
50mm (2inch) from the surface of the paintwork
and starting with the lower heat setting move it
slowly backwards and forwards until the paint
blisters and bubbles. Immediately remove the
paint with the scraper. Aim to heat the paint just
ahead of the scraper so that you can develop a
continuous action. Do not heat the paint for too
long, as this will burn the paint making it difficult
to remove.
Most labels and stickers can be removed by
using heat to soften adhesive. When removing
labels and stickers, be careful not to apply exces-
sive heat for a long period of time as this will
blister or burn the surface from which the label
or sticker is being removed.
9. REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDOW
FRAMES
Always use the glass protection nozzle. Ensure
you have the nozzle facing the correct way to
deflect the heat away from the glass before you
switch on. Rotate the gun or nozzle 90 degrees
as you move to horizontal or vertical bead. Allow
nozzle to cool before attempting to turn it. Paint
can be removed from profile surfaces using a
scraper or a soft wire brush.
Warning:
Glass can break easily.
10. DEFROSTING FROZEN PIPES
Choose the Hook nozzle and fit over the heat
outlet. Always heat from one end of the frozen
portion, not from the middle.
Warning: Do not attempt to defrost PVC pipes
as the PVC will be damaged by the heat. Always
check that it is a water pipe and not a gas pipe.
Do not heat a gas pipe.
