OPERATION

STRIPPING OF PAINT, VARNISH

Various paint finishes react to heat differently as far as time needed for stripping and how they appear when heated.

Latex may simply soften. Oil base paints will bubble or blister and may start to lift off the wood. Pretesting is recommended so you do not scorch the wood beneath by use of excess heat.

1. Choose a suitable scraper, turn on heat gun and allow it to reach full heating power.
2. Point the airflow at the work to be done, keeping the nozzle about 3–4" away from its surface.
3. Allow the paint to thoroughly soften, moving the gun slightly from side to side.

NOTE: Do not overheat paint.

NOTE: Always keep scraper clean for best result.

CAUTION: Lead paint fumes are harmful. Always provide adequate ventilation while working indoors.

REMOVAL OF ADHESIVE FLOOR TILE

Under high heat, floor tile adhesives will soften. Point heat gun to small area and lift tile with a scraper, moving the heat gun ahead as tile lifts.

OTHER JOBS

REMOVING: Self-adhesive stickers and trim.

LOOSENING: Rusted, over tightened nuts and metal screws.

THAWING: Frozen steel pipes, door locks, padlocks, etc.

WARNING! Do not attempt to thaw plastic.

DRYING: Paint and varnishes, as well as wet, damaged timber prior to filling with compound and refinishing.

SOFTENING: Old putty before removal and replacement.

SHRINKING: PVC or polyolefin shrink-wrap sheeting for packaging protection, or polyvinyl wire joint.

WAXING: Waxing or dewaxing skis.

IMPORTANT! Keep the air intake and outlet openings clean and free of dirt and debris.

IMPORTANT! Do not use gasoline, lacquer, turpentine or similar substances to clean the tool. Use only a dampened cloth. Do not immerse any part of the heat gun into any liquid or let any liquid gas inside the gun.

NOTE: This tool is designed with a built-in stand so it can be put on any flat surface in an upright (vertical) position to free both hands to easily shape old PVC pipes and similar materials. Always remember to avoid contact of hands or face with stream of hot air when using the gun in any position.

TROUBLESHOOTING

OPERATING ISSUE RECOMMENDATIONS
Gun will not turn on. If the gun has recently been	used for an extended period of time, the internal thermostat may be keeping the gun from turning on. Allow the gun to cool for 20-30 minutes and try again.
Gun blows only cool air. Adjust the dial on the back of the unit.
Holes are forming in the shrink film when applying heat.	Temperature and/or duration of heat is too intense.Move the nozzle farther from the film or turn the dial on the back of the gun to cooler temperatures.Move the gun in a back-and-forth motion to avoid keeping heat in a single spot for too long.
