N.B. The paint stripper is designed to remove water and oil-based paints.
Conversely, it is not suitable to deal with fillers.
Select the operating mode on the paint stripper by moving the four-position switch
located on the back of the handle.
Use the control system on the back of the paint stripper to select the desired hot air
temperature. There is a + button that will increase the preset temperature by 10 ° C
each time it is pressed, and a - button that will decrease the preset temperature by 10
° C each time it is pressed. The selected temperature will flash until it has been
reached, then its display will become fixed.
Wait about one minute to allow the paint stripper to heat up completely.
Hold the nozzle 8 to 10 cm from the paint that must be removed. The paint will
become soft and begin to bubble; do not burn it or the job will be more difficult.
Begin to scrape the paint from the top down using a spatula or
scraper: scrape with a light touch and even surface heating in front
of the scraper, moving the paint stripper slightly from side to side.
Scrape the paint as soon as it softens, otherwise it will harden
again.
Frequently clean the edge of the scraper so it remains sharp and to prevent paint from
accumulating.
Paint can be removed from profiled or moulded surfaces using a wire brush.
