Typical Applications

How to Strip Paint
In addition to many other applica-
tions, stripping paint has become
a popular use for your Masterflow
Heat Blower. Because of its higher
power and airflow ratings many
professional restoration and reno-
vation contractors recognize it as
the tool of choice for tough paint
stripping jobs.
We recommend using only the
Model AH-501 (120V) or the Model
AH-502 (220/240V) for professional
paint stripping applications.
Paint Stripping Safety
Instructions
1) WARNING: With a heat gun, as
with all other heat tools, keep
a fire extinguisher handy and
observe all sensible fire precau-
tions.
We do not recommend using
this heat gun on hollow
surfaces such as outdoor
siding, walls, soffits, panels and
partitions, etc. These areas often
contain flammable materials such
as dust, wood chips, insulation,
rodent nests and other debris
which could accidentally ignite.
Your heat gun is best used for
stripping paint from solid wood-
work with ins and outs, such as
solid interior trim, mouldings,
turnings, doors, balusters and
porch trim, etc.
When stripping paint, always
keep the heat gun moving in a
continuous back and forth motion.
Stopping or pausing too long in
one spot could ignite the surface
you are working on or the area
behind it.
2) Do not breathe or swallow lead
based paint in any form. Many
old homes and other buildings
NOTE: Users should independently evaluate the suitability of the product for their application.

contain lead based paint.
Dust, scrapings, residues and
vapors of lead based paint are
extremely poisonous. Prevent
possible lead poisoning when
stripping this type of paint by
using adequate ventilation (such
as a window fan in the exhaust
mode), and keeping a clean
work area. When dust or vapors
are present, use a respirator
designed to filter lead. Move
work outside when possible.
Failure to follow adequate safety
precautions when working with
lead based paint could result in
lead poisoning. See our Paint
Stripping instructions for more
information.
3) Keep away from chemical paint
strippers which can ignite or
release harmful vapors.
4) Use adequate ventilation (such
as a window fan in the exhaust
mode) and keep your work area
clean.
5) Wear gloves and safety glasses
at all times.
6) Keep a fully charged fire extin-
guisher close at hand.
7) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing, and use common sense.
Shrinking Tubing
Use stand to free both hands.
Slide tubing over area to be
insulated. Place in air stream and
move with a side-to-side motion
until tubing has shrunk.
Drying
Drying ink and paint on screen
prints, posters or paper may
be done manually or by directly
mounting the heat blowers to the
processing equipment.
Shrinking Packaging
Your Masterflow Heat Blower can
be used for a variety of heat-shrink-
ing applications. For example, it
can be used to shrink bottle caps
manually by gently waving the
nozzle around the cap until it has
shrunk.
One or two heat blowers may be
permanently mounted to a con-
veyor system to shrink caps as the
bottles pass by.
Shrink Tunnel Systems
The Masterflow can be used on
heat-shrink tunnel systems. It is
recommended that the blower or
blowers be mounted in a horizontal
position to prevent overheating of
the heat blower.
