Heat Gun Operational Guidelines

HOW TO STRIP PAINT

1. Warm air preheats the surface. The Heat Gun heats
up the surface and causes the paint to soften so it can
be scraped off easily without damaging the surface.
Some paints soften without blistering, and some may
become rubbery.
2. When working with several layers of paint, it helps to
heat the surface thoroughly so all the layers can be
scraped away at one time.
3. Scrape off paint as soon as it is softened. The best
method to remove paint is to move the Heat Gun
slowly and steadily forward at an angle to the surface,
pointing the nozzle in the direction of motion. This
allows you to scrape safely outside the hot air stream
and keeps the scraper and the scraped surface cooler.
4. Allow stripped surface to cool.
NOTE:
• A soft wire brush may be the best tool for very
intricate surfaces.
• Mineral paints and finishes, such as cement paint and
porcelain, do not soften and cannot be removed with a
Heat Gun.
• Sufficiently soften the paint so it scrapes off easily.
Do not try to burn it off, as scorching the surface can
discolor the wood underneath.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Never allow any liquid to get inside the Heat Gun or
immerse any part of the Heat Gun into a liquid. Ensure
the intake openings and the housing are clean and free of
obstructions.
If necessary, use a soft, dry brush to clean the intake
opening and housing. Use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean the Heat Gun housing. Do not use house-
hold cleaners, since many contain chemicals, which
could seriously damage the Heat Gun housing. Do not
use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer, paint thinner, dry
cleaning fluids or similar products. Do not clean Heat Gun
while turned on or plugged in.

STORAGE

Let the Heat Gun nozzle cool to room temperature before
placing it in storage. Over time, the gun's high heat will
discolor the nozzle. This is normal and will not affect the
performance or life of the tool.
• WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass
chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not
recommended using this tool for extended work on these
types of materials. However, if you do work with any of
these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool
using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
This tool is permanently lubricated at the factory and
requires no additional lubrication.
