• Let the heat gun cool down before moving or storing it.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE (FIG. 5)
• Switch the tool on to position 1.
• Select -ºC / +ºC to decrease / increase the temperature.
The air temperature can be adjusted to suit a wide range of
applications. The table below suggests settings for different
applications.
Setting Applications
Low (1st sector) • Drying paint and varnish
• Removing stickers
• Waxing and dewaxing
• Drying wet timber prior to filling
• Shrinking PVC wrapping and
insulation tubes

• Loosening rusted or tightly fastened
nuts and bolts
High (3rd sector) • Removing paint, varnish and lacquer.
• If you are not sure about the correct setting, start with a low
temperature setting and gradually increase the temperature
until you achieve optimum results.
ADJUSTING THE SPEED / AIRFLOW (FIG. 6)
• Switch the tool on to position 1.
• Set to the desired temperature.
• To adjust the speed / airflow incrementally press the fast /
slow button until required speed is found
To achieve a greater airflow repeat this stage with the on/off
switch in position 2.
Alternatively, if the highest speed / airflow is required
instantaneously, you can slide the on/off switch to position 3.
STRIPPING PAINT (FIG. 7)
• Mount an appropriate accessory.
• Switch the tool on.
• Set a high air temperature.
• Direct the hot air on to the paint to be removed.
• When the paint softens, scrape the paint away using the
hand scraper.
• Do not strip metal window frames, as the heat
may be conducted onto the glass and crack it.
• When stripping other window frames, use the
glass protector nozzle.
• Do not keep the tool directed at one spot too
long to prevent igniting the surface.
• Avoid collecting paint on the scraper accessory,
as it may ignite. If necessary, carefully remove
paint debris from the scraper accessory using a
knife.
