Tool Operation

SWITCH - FIGURE B

The position of the switch controls both the fan speed and the heat output of tl. There is considerable overlap in the temperature ranges with the use of the temj adjustment knob.

To turn the tool on in low air speed, low heat, slide to the position marked "l".
To turn the tool on in high air speed, high heat, slide switch (1) to the position marked "II".
To turn the tool off, slide the switch (1) to the position marked "0".

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT KNOB FIGURE C

To raise the air temperature, turn knob (5) clockwise.
- To lower the air temperature turn knob (5) counterclockwise.

REMOVING PAINT - FIGURE D

Efficient paint removal requires the development of technique. Follow the guidelines in this manual and you'll find that you will have mastered the procedure after a few simple projects.

Turn on the tool and hold the nozzle about one inch (25mm) from the surface to be stripped, as shown in figure D.

(Give the unit about 15-20 seconds running time to reach its full heat potential.) The paint being heated will usually begin to blister when it reac the proper temperature for stripping.

When it reaches this point begin scraping with smooth, even strokes. If the paint is sufficiently hot and the scraper is properly suited to the surface being stripped, the paint should come off in a strip equal to the full width of the scraper. Move the u slightly ahead of the scraper to assure that the paint being stripped is softened.

Best results will be achieved if the heat gun is moved slowly, but constantly, from side to side to evenly distribute heat. Do not linger or pause in one spot.

Remember that splinters and small particles of stripped paint can be ignited and blown through holes and cracks in the surface being stripped.

HINTS ABOUT PAINT STRIPPING

A smooth, downward scraping action will give good results and will help to prevent gouging the work surface.

With some paints, prolonged heating will actually make them tougher to strip. Try different heating times until you develop the technique best suited to your particular application.

The heat gun is designed to remove both oil based and latex based paints. It will not remove stains or primer coats that have impregnated the wood grain. Scrape paint as soon as it softens, it will soon cool and harden again. Clean your scraper often to retain a clean, sharp edge. Shield areas adjacent to wher scraping. For example: shield the door with nonflammable materials if you're strip door frame.

Don't concentrate the tools heat on a window pane or other glass surface. Exc may crack the glass. Use some nonflammable material to shield the glass when the window frame.

OTHER USES

For hands free operation, place the heat gun on a flat surface as shown in fig. Aside from stripping paint, your heat gun has a wide array of other uses. Use softening linoleum and floor tile and for loosening heat sensitive adhesives. It's use with heat shrinkable tubing and anywhere you need a portable heat source. even use it to thaw frozen metal water pipes.

Automotive uses include reducing set time on body fillers or drying time of paints (the product manufacturer's recommendations must be followed.) Caution must be exercised around gasoline, automotive fluids, tires, gaskets, upholstery and hoses, etc. to prevent damage or fires. Be constantly aware that this tool can ignite flammable materials and soften or melt others. Avoid overheating adjacent flammable materials such as wood, insulation, electrical wiring jackets or plastic. Thaw only those metal pipe sections that are fully exposed. Do not attempt to thaw pipes that are inside walls, floors, ceilings, or otherwise enclosed. Do not attempt to thaw pipes that are wrapped in insulation.
