Cooling Down
In use, the nozzle (4) of your heat gun becomes extremely hot.
Great care is necessary when cooling your heat gun after use.
Hands Free Use (fig. D)
This tool can also be used in stationary mode.
• Place the tool onto a firm and stable surface as shown.
• Always point your heat gun away from you.
• Secure the cable to prevent pulling your heat gun off the
stand.
Do not touch the nozzle (4) and ensure that nothing is
dropped into the nozzle. Carefully switch off your heat gun
and then allow it to cool
Paint Stripping
Your heat gun is designed to soften paint and lacquer enabling
it to be removed using a good quality hand scraper.
Proceed as follows: Direct the hot air onto the area to be
removed. When the paint softens, scrape firmly. Experiment
to establish the length of time necessary to apply the heat to
obtain optimum results. Scrape the softened paint immediately
or it will harden again.
Your heat gun is not suitable for stripping metal-framed
windows. This is because the heat from the heat gun is
conducted through the metal and can crack the glass. Scrape
with the grain of the wood wherever possible. Do not linger on
one spot for too long as the surface may char or ignite.
