PLEASE READ BEFORE USE
DO NOT
Touch the nozzle.
Change/rotate the nozzle while the
unit is turned on.
Leave the heat gun unattended
when it is switched on.
Allow children to operate or
play with the heat gun.
Carry the heat gun by the
mains cable.
Do not allow heat to be directed onto
the mains cable.
Use the tool as a hair dryer.
Restrict any air flow from the
nozzle outlet or fan inlets.
Allow the machine to become damp or
be operated in damp conditions.
Use the heat gun close to
inflammable materials, heat may be
conducted to combustible materials
which are out of sight.
Apply to the same place for a
long time.
Under any circumstances aim
the heat gun at another person or
animal.
Use in presence of explosive
atmosphere.
Danger of burns - Always wear
a pair of heavy grade, non PVC
type work gloves.
Danger of fire or explosion if the
appliance is not used with care.
When changing the nozzle, switch
off and allow the accessory and
nozzle to cool.
Place the tool on its stand after use
and allow to cool down
before storage.
A hot nozzle can cause damage.
Before every use check the condition
of the plug and cable. If this is
damaged in any way do not use.
Repairs must be carried out by a fully
qualified electrician.
Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation as gases and vapours
may be given off when stripping
paint. Ensure that protective goggles
and masks are used.
Poisonous or inflammable gases may
be produced when working with
paints (especially older type lead
paints), varnishes, plastics and
similar materials.
Ensure the heat gun switch is in the
off position when connecting to the
mains.
Ensure children and pets are
excluded from the work area.
It is recommended a RCD (residual
current device) rated at 30mA is fitted
into the mains socket for added
protection against electric shock.
This product is intended for
‘household’ use only.
This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)

SAFETY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
!
HEAT SETTINGS
The Heat Gun has two settings:
1.Low heat - for use where the
workpiece or surroundings must
not be allowed to get too hot.
Setting~350°C.
2.High heat - for faster heat up
time of the workpiece where you
can also operate the gun at a
greater distance.
Setting~600°C.
OPERATION
Before starting work it is
advisable to test the work surface
for the ideal temperature to use.
The table below gives an indication
of the likely heat settings required
but always start with the low heat
setting.
The distance between the nozzle
and the work surface will vary
according to the material being
worked on but this should always
be at least 50mm (2”) or more on
either heat setting.
All applications, with the exception
of removing paint from the window
frames, can be performed without
using a nozzle, however for best
results nozzles are recommended.

in awkward
corners,
crevices, mouldings, beading
or architraves.
Deflector Nozzle
• Directs a long,
narrow heat
pattern to the
work surface.
• Ideal for
removing paint
or varnish from
large, flat
surfaces such
as skirting boards, doors,
stairs, etc.
• It should be used in conjunction
with a flat scraper.
• Vinyl tiles can be removed by
softening the tile and adhesive.
