Hands free use (fig. B)
The tool has stand locations (4) to facilitate hands free use.
u
Place the tool with the nozzle up on a surface where it
cannot be tipped over.
u
Secure the cable to prevent pulling the tool out of the
stand.
WARNING! Always point the tool away from yourself or other
persons. Do not touch the nozzle. Take care that no material
drops into the nozzle.
Paint stripping
u
Direct the hot air at the working area to heat up the paint.
u
Do not burn the paint. Keep the nozzle at least 25 mm
from the surface.
u
When the paint softens, remove the paint using a scraper.
Scrape the softened paint immediately or it will harden
again.
u
Scrape with the grain of the wood wherever possible.
u
Do not allow paint and debris to collect on the scraper.
u
When scraping from a vertical position, scrape downwards
to prevent the paint from falling back into the nozzle.
u
When stripping paint from a surface next to glass, take the
necessary measures to protect the glass from the heat.
WARNING! Use a glass protector nozzle when stripping paint
from metal or wood framed windows.
u
Dispose of all paint debris safely and make sure that the
work area is thoroughly clean after use.
Cooling down
During use, the nozzle of the tool becomes extremely hot.
After switching off, leave the tool to cool down for at least 30
minutes.
u

cannot be tipped over.
u
To speed up the cooling time, run the tool on a low
minimum temperature setting for a few minutes before
switching off.
