Product description
Operating instructions
Power switch
The power switch has 3 settings 0 – 1 – 2:
-
0
Off
-
1
Low heat (approx 350 °C and airflow 250 l/min)
-
2
High heat (approx 550 °C and airflow 550 l/min)
• Make sure the power switch is set to
0
before connecting the heat gun to a wall socket.
When you are ready to start work make sure that the power switch is in the desired position,
1
or
2
. Within a minute the heat gun will have come up to operating temperature.
• If you need both hands for another task, the heat gun can be laid on a flat surface (with
the nozzle raised up). The nozzle will become very hot; don’t hold your hands too close.
• When removing paint, use a suitable paint scraper and work from the top down. Scrape off
paint with smooth even strokes while simultaneously warming the paint in front of the scraper
by sweeping the heat gun in a back and forth motion. When the paint has been heated
sufficiently, even thick layers can be easily removed.
• The edge of your scraper must be cleaned often to keep it sharp and effective. Scrape off
the paint immediately after heating as the paint hardens quickly.
• For contoured surfaces, the paint must first be heated until it softens and then be removed
with a steel brush.
• Cover any adjacent surfaces which are not to be heated with a non-flammable material.
• Never point the heat gun towards a window or any other glass surface.
• After use the heat gun should be placed in an upright position and allowed to cool before it
is put away.
Note:
The heat gun is suitable for the removal of oil and latex based paints. It cannot remove
stains, primer and wood treatment residue. Emissions from lead paint can be dangerous to
your health. Always provide for good ventilation when working indoors.
