HOT AIR GUN
RULES OF OPERATION
On / off
Turn on the tool by putting the on/off control 1 in one of the positions:
- I position – flow rate 250 l / min, air temperature 50°C;
- II position – flow rate 350 l / min, air flow temperature can be adjusted from 350 to 600
0 C;
- III position – flow rate 500 l / min, air flow temperature can be adjusted from 350 to 600°C;
The first time you use it, it is possible to release a certain amount of smoke from the tool - this is normal
and will stop soon. Turn off the tool by setting the on/off control 1 to (“0” OFF) position.
Installing and removing of head pieces
- put the head piece on the air outlet 2;
- remove the head piece by pulling the head piece forward after cooling.
Install / remove head pieces only when the air outlet is cooled down, when on/off control 1 is in the (“0”
OFF) position and the plug is unplugged.
Paint / varnish removal
- use a clean sharp scraper;
- when the paint softens, scrape it with force;
- experiment to set the required heat exposure time for optimal results;
- immediately scrape off the softened paint, otherwise it will harden again;
- maintain an angle of 30-40 degrees between the tool and the workpiece;
- immediately remove paint and debris from the scraper to prevent them from igniting;
- scrape off wherever possible to fibers;
- do not direct the hot air flow to the same surface for too long.
Attention! Be careful when removing paint layers in the old buildings, as old paint may contain
lead, which is a highly toxic substance.
Paint / varnish removal from windows
- always use the glass protection head piece 7 when working near glass;
- remove paint with a manual scraper.
Attention! Do not use paint remover on windows in metal frames; metal is heat conductive, and this
can lead to the destruction of glass.
Removal of stickers
- use a flat head piece 5;
- many adhesive substances are softened by heating, which allows you to separate the adhesive and
remove excess adhesive;
- heat the sticker on the outside;
- every time make sure not to overheat the underlying surface
Shrink fit
- use the tapering head piece 4;
- select a pipe for shrink fit with a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the workpiece;
- evenly heat the pipe for shrink fir and, until it has cooled, put on the workpiece
