The switch can be adjusted to control both the heat out-
put and the fan speed. The temperature adjustment knob
is used in combination with the switch to find the proper
setting.
• Slide the switch to the position marked with “I” for
low air speed/heat.
• Slide the switch to the position marked with “II” for
high air speed/heat.
• Slide the switch to the position marked with “0” to
turn it off.
• Turn the knob clockwise to raise the temperature.
• Turn the knob counter-clockwise to lower the air
temperature.
PAINt ReMoVAL
Proper paint removal is in fact quite a developed skill. A
few simple projects should help you refine your technique.
Start by turning on the heat gun and holding it with the
nozzle around one inch from the surface you’re planning
to strip. The paint should start to blister once it’s ready
to be stripped. You can then scrape it with even, smooth
strokes. If the paint is hot enough and the scraper is ap-
propriate for the surface being stripped, the paint should
come off in a way that mirrors the size of the scraper. Keep
the heat gun slightly ahead of the scraper to make sure the
paint is softened. Moving the heat gun slowly, but steadily
is the ideal way to distribute heat. Remember that the bits
and pieces can be flammable, and may ignite. Take care,
keeping that in mind.
tIPs FoR PAINt stRIPPING
Some paints will become more difficult to strip if they are
heated for too long. Be sure to try a few variations to get
the technique down based on the paint being stripped.
Paint should be removed immediately after being heated
as it will cool and harden again.
If a window frame is being stripped, do not allow the heat
gun to stay focused on an area on the glass as it can cause
it to crack. Instead, use some type of non-flammable ma-
terial to shield the glass off.

Don’t forget that this heat gun is an extremely dynamic
tool that can be used for a lot more than paint stripping.
It can be used to soften linoleum, floor tile, loosening heat
sensitive adhesives, heat-shrinkable tubing, and even
some automotive uses such as reducing drying time on
paints and set up time on body fillers. Place the heat gun
on a flat surface to use it hands-free.
WARNING: The use of any accessory not recom-
mended for use with this tool could be hazardous.
Always unplug the tool before attaching or removing
accessories. Do not remove accessory tips until the tool
has cooled to room temperature.
INcLuded AttAcHMeNts
Fan Nozzle: For wider distribution of hot air, mostly for
wider surfaces such as doors and floors.
Glass Protector: Safer to use near glass as it distributes
heat away from the area that needs to be protected.
Cone Nozzle: For more precision, this nozzle concentrates
the air into a smaller area.
Spool Reflector: Dispenses the air equally around the
whole object, which is ideal for soldering pipework or
shrink sealing electrical cables.
Handheld Scraper: Convenient for scraping paint.
