IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ
You should note that the internal metal parts of this Heat Gun
have been given a protective coating to prevent corrosion
during manufacture and storage. This protective coating will
burn off during the first few uses of the product, giving off some
smoke when the product is switched off.
Please ensure that when the product is switched off, it is stood in
a vertical position on a non combustible surface during cooling.
ASSEMBLY
Note: Before carrying out any assembly or disassembly of the
unit please ensure that the unit is not connected to the electrical
supply.

applications. Select the required nozzle and fit it over the heat
outlet. Making sure that it locates fully (Fig.3).
SWITCHING ON & OFF
The heat gun is fitted with two heat settings. Select switch
position 1. to obtain the lowest heat setting (400°C), select

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PAINT STRIPPING
When stripping a point next to glass it is necessary to protect the
glass from the heat. A glass protector nozzle is supplied and is
indicated as Nozzle B. (Fig.2).
CAUTION: THE INTERCHANGEABLE NOZZLE’S WILL
BECOME EXTREMELY HOT DURING USE AND YOU
MUST LET THEM COOL DOWN FULLY BEFORE
TOUCHING THEM.
Your heat gun is not suitable for stripping metal framed windows
because the conductive effect of the metal frames will cause the
glass to fracture.
Heat the paint to a point when it starts to soften. Do not linger in
one spot for too long as the surface may scorch or ignite. When
the paint softens scrape away the paint firmly, using a suitable
scraper in the direction of the grain of the wood. Experiment to
establish the length of time necessary to apply the heat to obtain
optimum results. Scrape the softened paint immediately or it will
harden again.
Do not allow paint debris to build up on the Heat Gun nozzle, it
could ignite. When scraping vertical surfaces, scrape
downwards to prevent debris from falling into the nozzle.
NOZZLE’S SUPPLIED WITH THE HEAT GUN (FIG.1)
NOZZLE A
Suitable for directing heat onto selected areas without
damaging materials near-by.
NOZZLE B
For window frames where heat is required to be directed to the
wooden frame while protecting the glass.
NOZZLE C
This nozzle is particularly useful where a concentrated spot of
heat is required.
NOZZLE D
This nozzle is curved to enable the heat to be directed around
difficult obstructions.
