from very intricate surfaces. Mineral
paints and finishes such as cement
paint and porcelain do not soften when
heated, so they cannot be removed
using a Heat Gun.
For best paint removal results, move
the gun slowly and steadily forward at
an angle to the surface to be stripped.
This allows you to safely scrape
behind the hot air stream and keeps
the scraper and scraped surface
cooler. Holding the Heat Gun at an
angle also preheats the paint as you
scrape.
The chart below explains the four
zones for the paint removal process
(Fig. 3).
Zone Description
1 Warm air preheats the
paint
2 Hot air softens the paint
1+2 Heat penetrates
complete area
3 Paint can be easily
scraped off as soon as it
is softened and the Heat
Gun is moved forward
4 The cleared surface is
allowed to cool
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other
part may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive
practices can damage the tool as well
as the workpiece.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to modify tools
or create accessories. Any such
alteration or modification is misuse
and could result in a hazardous
condition leading to possible serious
injury. It will also void the warranty.
CLEANING
Keep air vents clean and unobstructed
to allow maximum airflow through the
Heat Gun.
DO NOT use solvents when cleaning
plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may
be damaged by their use. Use a clean
cloth dampened with a mild detergent
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
DO NOT at any time allow brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc. to come
in contact with plastic parts. They
contain cnemicals that can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this Heat Gun are
lubricated with a sufficient amount of
high-grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is
required.
