SWITCHING ON AND OFF (Fig.3)

TEMPERATURE SETTING (Fig.4)

WARNING! 

If you are not sure about the correct setting, 

start with a low temperature setting and gradually increase 

the temperature until you achieve optimum results 

•  Always observe the safety instructions and applicable 

regulations.

•  Use only one hand to hold the tool, do not place your 

other hand over the air vents 

PRIOR TO OPERATION :

•  Mount the correct accessory for the application.
•  Set the desired air temperature.

•  Mount an appropriate accessory.
•  Set a high air temperature.
•  Switch the tool on.
•  Direct the hot air onto the paint to be removed.
•  When the paint softens, scrape the paint away using a 

hand scraper.

STATIONARY USE 

COOLING DOWN

This tool can also be used in stationary mode.

•  Place the tool onto the workbench.
•  Secure the cable to prevent pulling the tool off the 

workbench.

•  Carefully switch the tool on.

•  To reduce the cooling time, switch the tool on at the 

lowest air temperature setting and let run for a few 

minutes.

•  Switch the tool off and let it cool down for at least 30 

minutes.

•  To switch the tool on, set the On/Off switch (3) to position

. Some smoke may be emitted after switching on; 

this does not indicate a problem.

•  To switch the tool off, adjust the lowest temperature to 

cool off, then set the on/off switch to position 0. Let the 

tool cool down before moving or storing it.

Turn ON/OFF switch to 1/2/3, depending on temperature 

you need. The heat gun will start to buzz. Now you can 

increase or decrease the outlet temperature gradually by 

turning the adjust knob (4).
Turn anti-clock wise to decrease, clock wise to increase the 

temperature.

WARNING! 

Do not strip metal window frames, as the heat 

may be conducted onto the glass and crack it. When 

stripping other window frames, use the glass protection 

nozzle.

WARNING! 

Do not keep the tool directed at one spot too 

long to prevent igniting the surface.

MAKE SURE THAT THE NOZZLE ALWAYS POINTS 

AWAY FROM YOU AND ANY BYSTANDERS.
MAKE SURE NOT TO DROP ANYTHING INTO THE 

NOZZLE.

WARNING! 

Avoid collecting paint on the scraper 

accessory, as it may ignite. If necessary, carefully remove 

paint debris from the scraper accessory using a knife.

The nozzle (1) and accessory become very hot during use. 

Let them cool down before attempting to move or store the 

tool.

1. NOZZLES

The kit is supplied with 4 different

shaped nozzles, which can be used as follows:

1). Concentrator Nozzle

This nozzle directs a concentrated heat flow to the

workpiece. It is ideal for use when removing paint in

awkward corners, crevices, mouldings, beading,

architraves or whenever precise paint removal is

required.

2). Flat Nozzle

This nozzle directs a long narrow heat pattern to the

workpiece, and is 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 vinyl tiles and adhesive.

3). Glass Protection Nozzle

This nozzle deflects the heat away from glass or other

fragile areas and back onto the workpiece.

4). Hook Nozzle

This nozzle disperses the heat flow evenly around the

whole workpiece. It is ideal for defrosting frozen

pipes, soldering pipe work, bending plastics and

heat-shrinking electrical parts.

2. SHAVE HOOK

Take the handle from the set, remove the nut from the

end, fit the triangle blade in place by refitting and

tightening the nut. The triangular shave hook is ideal

for stripping paint from flat wooden surface and

edges.Remember to clean the blade after use with

wirewool and lightly oil before storing.
