•
When disconnecting the plug from the wall outlet, never pull the cable by its cord.
•
Protect the power cable from high temperatures, oils, paint thinners and make sure that the cable is not
hanging over sharp edges.
•
Inspect the power cable regularly. If damaged have it replaced by qualified technician. Inspect extension
cables regularly. If damaged, have it replaced.
•
If you need to use an extension cable, use cable with appropriate power rating. Use only completely
unwound. Inspect extension cables regularly. Damaged cables must be repair immediately.

Lacquer and paint removal
•
To remove paint or lacquer coats easily and effectively you need to gain a certain level of experience
and to get familiar with the following steps: Always test your procedure on small area and if you feel
comfortable move on to larger area.
•
Switch the gun on and wait until it reaches the set temperature. Keep the nozzle 75 - 100 mm above the
paint coat. After a short while the coat gets soft and starts to produce blisters. You cannot burn the paint
coat. In such case the removal may be even more difficult. If you are removing paint above your head,
always use eye protection.
•
Scrape the paint from the top to the bottom. Use appropriate scraper. Scrape the paint slowly and use
continuous movement. Heat the surface in front of the scraper by moving the gun from side to side. If the
paint is heated correctly you may remove rather thick layer in one move. The coating must peel off in the
same width as the width of the scraper.
•
Clean the tip of the scraper often to prevent paint build ups. Scrape off he paint immediately when it is
hot. Otherwise you may not be able to get the paint off.
•
To remove the hot paint coat from difficult to reach areas, use steel brush.
•
Protect all areas that you do not wish to heat up with fireproof material. Never aim the gun on glass
surfaces or window glass.
NOTE:
Hot air gun may be used to remove oil and latex paints and lacquers, as well as other various coatings. You
cannot use it for removal of wood stain solutions or base wood paints that impregnate the wood surface.
•
Only authorized service may perform repairs on you tool.
•
Keep your tools clean. Dirt may enter the inner mechanism of your machine and cause damage.
•
Do not use aggressive cleaning solution or paint thinners to clean the machine.
•
Clean plastic parts with cloth dipped in soup water.
•
Clean and lubricate metal surfaces with a cloth dipped in paraffin oil.
•
If you are not using your machine, lubricate it with suitable grease and store it in a dry place to prevent
corrosion.
•
Make sure that all air supply inlets and exhaust outlets are free of dirt.
•
Clean all air openings regularly with soft and dry brush.
•
Clean the body of the gun with wet cloth dipped in mild soap solution.
•
Many household detergents contain chemicals that may seriously damage the plastic cover of the gun.

The nozzle may turn darker after certain time of use. This phenomenon is normal. Hot temperatures have
such effect on metals.
