GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

PERSONS REMOVING PAINT SHOULD FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:

1) Move the workpiece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the work area well ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside to outside.

2) Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.

3) Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

WARNING!

Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapours of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1950 is likely to contain lead. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable.

Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check the lead content of the paint to be removed. LEADBASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN.

WARNING! This product may contain lead, phthalate or other

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Please wash your hands after use.

Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may contain flammable materials that could be ignited by the heat gun when working in these locations. The ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent and could result in property damage and injury to persons.

When working in these locations, keep the heat gun moving in a backand-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it.

4) Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the centre of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.

5) Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all clean up is complete.

6) Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are readily available at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing properly. Change filters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.

7) Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep the heat gun moving as excessive heat will generate fumes which can be inhaled by the operator.

8) Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.

9) Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surface where paint or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM. Use a high-phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.

10) At the end of each work session put the paint chips and debris in a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties and dispose of properly.

11) Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the dwelling. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THE TOOL

Before starting the job it is advisable to test the workpiece for the ideal temperature to use. The description below gives an indication of the likely heat settings required but always start with the low heat setting.

The distance between the nozzle and the workpiece will vary according to the material being worked on but this should always be at least 2’’ (5 cm) or more on any heat setting.

All applications, with the exception of removing paint from the window frames, can be performed without using a nozzle; however, for best results nozzles are recommended.

PUTTING INTO OPERATION (See Fig. A)

1. SWITCHING ON/OFF

Switching on:

To put into operation, slide the on/off switch (5) to position I or II.

Switching off:

To switch off, slide the on/off switch (5) to position 0.

2. SETTING THE AIR FLOW AND TEMPERATURE (See Fig. B)

The switch (5) can be set to two blower settings. Suitable airflow and temperature combinations can be selected according to the applications.

I =120 — 1100°F (50 — 600°C), 8.1 CFM (300 L/min) II =120 — 1100°F (50 — 600°C), 13.5 CFM (500 L/min) The air setting I is suitable for bending plastic and

heat-shrinking plastic.

The air setting II is suitable for stripping paint and defrosting pipes.

Temperature can be adjusted in increments of 20°F (10°C) from 120°F (50°C) to 1100°F (600°C) by pressing the temperature control button (12) on the LCD cover (11).

°F or °C can be selected by pressing °F/ °C .

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3. NOZZLE SELECTION

The kit is supplied with 4 different nozzles which can be used as follows:

1) Concentration nozzle

This nozzle directs a concentrated heat flow to the workpiece. It is ideal when removing paint in awkward corners, crevices, mouldings, beading, architraves or whenever precise paint removal is required.

2) Flat Nozzle

This nozzle directs a long narrow heat pattern to the workpiece and is ideal for removing paint or varnish from large flat surfaces such as skirting boards, doors, stairs etc. It should be used in conjunction with a flat scraper. Vinyl tiles can be removed by softening the tile and adhesive.

3) Glass Protection Nozzle

This nozzle deflects the heat away from glass or other fragile areas and back onto the workpiece.

4) Hook Nozzle

This nozzle disperses the heat flow evenly around the whole workpiece. It is ideal for defrosting frozen pipes, soldering pipe work, bending plastics and heatshrinking electrical parts.

4. SHAVE HOOK

Take the handle from the set, remove the nut from the end, and fit the triangle blade in place by refitting and tightening the nut. The triangular shave hook is ideal for stripping paint from flat wooden surface and edges.

Remember to clean the blade after use with wire wool, and lightly oil before storing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5. REMOVING PAINT

Choose the required nozzle and fit onto the heat outlet. Select the scraper or shave hook required. Hold the gun with the nozzle approximately 2’’ (5 cm) from the surface of the paintwork and start with the lower heat setting. Move the heat gun slowly backwards and forwards until the paint blisters and bubbles. Immediately remove the paint with the scraper or shave hook. Aim to heat the paint just ahead of the scraper so that you can develop a continuous action. Do not heat the paint for too long as this will burn the paint, making it difficult to remove.

Most stickers can also be removed from paintwork by using the heat to soften the adhesive. Be careful not to direct the heat for too long if you are trying just to remove the stickers as this will blister the paint.

6. REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDOW FRAMES

Always use the glass protection nozzle. Ensure you have the nozzle facing the correct way to deflect the heat away from the glass before you switch on. Rotate the gun or nozzle 90° as you move to horizontal or vertical bead. Allow nozzle to cool before attempting to turn it. Paint can be removed from profile surfaces by using a shave hook and/or a soft wire brush.

WARNING: Glass can break easily.

7. DEFROSTING FROZEN PIPES

Choose the hook nozzle and fit over the wind pipe (1). Always heat from one or other end of the frozen portion, not from the middle.

WARNING: Do not attempt to defrost PVC pipes. Always check that it is a water pipe and not a gas pipe. Do not heat a gas pipe.

8. SHRINK SEALING ELECTRICAL CABLES

Choose the hook nozzle and fit over the wind pipe (1). Select a heatshrinkable sleeve with a diameter matching that of the workpiece. Evenly heat the sleeve.

9. BENDING PLASTIC TUBE

Choose the hook nozzle and fit over the wind pipe (1). Turn the gun upside down and place on its clip stand so that it is resting on a secure bench with the nozzle pointing upwards.

To avoid buckling or kinking the tube, fill the tube with dry sand and seal at both ends. Heat the tube evenly by moving from side to side and bend to required shape.

WARNING!

Protect hands from heat.
