Technical Data - RHINO 501056 Manuel D'instruction

- Disconnect the tool when not in use. Avoid unintentional starting. If the gun stops during operating, disconnect from
the power supply and have gun serviced by authorized service personnel.
- Stay alert! Always pay attention to the work at hand and use common sense when operating this and all tools. Do not
operate the tool when you are tired or taking medication or drugs that make you drowsy.
WHEN REMOVING PAINT OR VARNISH
- Never use the heat gun in combination with chemical strippers.
- Clean dry paint or varnish from the nozzle and scrappers after use.
- Use in well - ventilated areas only. Peelings and residue from lead - based paints are poisonous.
POWER INFORMATION
- Be sure the power supply you are using agrees with the nameplate marking on the heat gun. The guns are designed
to run on 230-240V 50Hz AC (ordinary house current). Voltage varies greater than 10% can cause loss of power and
possible overheating.
- This tool is double isolated for added safety. This means there are two separate layers of isolation between the
operator and the tool's electrical system.
Warning: double isolation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating the heat gun. Double
isolation acts as a safeguard against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure inside the tool.
- Tools built with double isolation are not intended to be grounded. Because of this, the gun's power cord is fitted with
a two - pronged plug suitable for use in any conventional 230 V electrical outlet. Replace damaged cords.

USING THE HEAT GUN
- The heat gun is very light and easy to use. The switch allows for low to high working temperature settings as well as
an off setting. The low setting is roughly 300°C and the high setting is roughly 600°C.
- Before plugging into the electrical outlet, always make certain the power switch is in the off position.
- When ready to work, set power switch to 1 or 2. Always allow a minute or so for the HEAT GUN to reach its full
operating temperature. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection.
- This heat gun is designed with a built in stand so it can be positioned in an upright position on any flat, level surface.
This frees both hands to easily shape and mild PVC pipes and other materials.
PAINT AND VARNISH REMOVAL
- Easy removal of paint and varnish requires some practice and the use of simple working techniques described here.
In all cases, test results on a small section of paint before moving on to larger areas.
- Turn on the gun and allow it to reach full heating power. Hold the nozzle 7.5 to 10 cm from the paint to be removed.
After a short time, paint will soften and begin blistering. Do not overheat paint, as this will cause burning and make the
finish more difficult to remove. When stripping paint overhead, always use eye protection.
- Begin scraping the paint off working from top to bottom. Use accessory scrapers. Scrape with smooth, even strokes,
warming the surface in the front of the scraper by moving the gun slightly from side to side. If the paint is warmed
properly, even thick layers can be removed in a single pass. Paint should come off in a strip equal in width to the
scraper blade.
- Clean the edge of scraper often to keep it clean and sharp and to prevent paint from building up on the blade. Scrape
the paint as soon as it softens since it will quickly harden again.
- Shaped or profiled surfaces can be stripped with a brush after softening with the hot air jet.
- Cover all surfaces not to be heated with non flammable material. Never concentrate tool's heat on a window panel or
other glass surface.
- Note: The HEAT GUN is designed to remove both oil - and latex - based paints and varnishes. It will not remove
stains or primer coats that have impregnated the surface of wood.
- CAUTION: LEAD PAINT FUMES ARE VERY HARMFUL. ALWAYS PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHILE
WORKING INDOORS.
OTHER JOBS FOR THE HEAT GUN
1. Removing paint and varnish with hot air jet and scraper.
2. Removing self adhesive stickers and trim.
3. Loosening rusted or over tightened nuts and metal screws.
4. Thawing frozen pipes, frozen door locks, padlocks, etc.
Warning: Do not attempt to thaw plastic pipes!
5. Highlighting the natural wood grain of wooden surfaces before staining or varnishing.
6. Fast drying of paints and varnishes. This is especially useful when colour matching is required by adding several
coats of the paint or varnish.
7. Softening old putty before removal and replacement.
8. Drying out wet, damaged timber prior to filling with compound and refinishing.
