PAINT AND VARNISH REMOVAL
Some test and technical training is required before removing paint and varnish. Test
on a small section of paint before working on large areas.
Turn on the heat gun to reach the full heating temperature. Hold the nozzle 7.5cm to
10cm away from the painting area. After heating a short while, the paint will soften
and begin blistering.
Do not overheat paint to avoid afire. Otherwise, this will cause burning and
make the finish more difficult to remove. When striping paint on overhead, always
wear eyes protection.
Begin scraping the paint off downward, use accessory scrapers. Scrape with
smooth, even strokes, warming the surface in the front of the scraper by moving the
gun slightly from side to side. If the paint is warmed properly, even thick layers can
be removed at once.
Clean the paint from scraper as it is soft to prevent paint building up on the blade,
otherwise, it will quickly harden again.
Shaped or uneven surfaces, clean with brush after softening with the hot air jet.
Cover the surfaces not to be cleaned with non-flammable material. Never focalize
tool’s heat on a window panel or other glass surface.
NOTE:
The HEAT GUN is designed to remove both oil and latex-based paint and
vanish. It will not remove stains or primer coats that have impregnated the surface
of wood.
CAUTION: LEAD PAINT FUMES ARE VERY HARMFUL. ALWAYS PROVIDE AD-
EQUATE VENTILATION WHILE WORKING INDOORS.
