Uses for HEAT ELITE PRO™ Heat Guns (cont.)
Paint stripping
• Stripping of all oil and lacquer, even in thick layers, from furniture and paneling, guttering, banisters and windows. Heat the
layer of paint until blisters form, then remove cleanly with a paint knife, paint scraper or wire brush. For windows use glass-
protecting nozzle.
• Remove plastic-plaster with hot air and spatula
Thawing
• Thawing iced-up steps, car locks, boot-lids and doors, and water pipes
• De-frosting refrigerators and deep-freezes (do not heat the plastic walls, as this could lead to deformation or damage)
Adhesives
• Gluing large surfaces with contact adhesive by warming and lengthening setting time
• Activation of adhesives
• Acceleration of gluing processes by shortening the setting time of 2-component adhesives
• Loosing screwed connections which are adhesive-fastened, PVC stickers, e.g. on commercial and private vehicles
• Fastening or removing of edge-bandings
Disinfecting
• With hot air at 550°C rabbit hutches, dovecotes, etc. are rapidly freed of bacteria and inspect pests
• Destruction of woodworm. Do not over heat the surface of the wood (fire danger!)
Paint stripping
• When removing paint care should be exercised, particularly if the paint contains lead pigments. Buildings dating from before
1960 may well have been painted with lead-containing paint which has subsequently been painted over. Before starting work,
it is important to determine whether the paint which you wish to remove contains lead. This can be determined using a lead
test kits or by a professional decorator.
Lead termes and dust containing lead particles are extremely dangerous.
Small children and pregnant women are particularly endangered and should be kept away from renovation work in which lead-
based paints are being removed. When removing lead-containing paints you should ensure that the work space is shut off
from its surroundings. We recommend that a dust-mask should be worn. You should not smoke, eat or drink in work spaces
which may be contaminated by lead. Do not burn off the paint. The hot air temperature should remain below 450 ºC.
