How To Strip Paint; Cleaning And Maintenance; Storage - Homeright C800950 Mode D'emploi

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.
2. Hot air softens paint. Some paints soften without
blistering, and some may become rubbery. Other
paints may require higher heat.
3. 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.
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.
4. 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.
5. Allow stripped surface to cool.

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 household 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.

Heat Gun Operational Guidelines

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.
CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
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.
