Setting up and operation

The switch contains function of power on/off, temperature low/high.
The low temperature is roughly 300°C, and high temperature is
roughly 500°C.

• Always ensure the power switch is at off position before plugging in.

• Set power switch to I or II to heat one minute to reach its operation
temperature. Always wear protective gloves and eyes protection
when working.

• Place the heat gun upright on a flat table carefully.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension
cord suitable for outdoor use to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Paint and varnish removal

 Some test and technical training is required before removing

paint and varnish. Test on a small section of paint before
working on large areas.

 Turn on the heat gun to reach the full heating temperature. Hold

the nozzle 7.5cm to 10cm away from the painting area. After
heating a short while, the paint will soften and begin blistering.

 Do not overheat paint to avoid afire. Otherwise, this will cause

burning and make the finish more difficult to remove. When
striping paint on overhead, always wear eyes protection.

 Begin scraping the paint off downward, 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 at once.

 Clean the paint from scraper as it is soft to prevent paint

building up on the blade, otherwise, it will quickly harden again.

 Shaped or uneven surfaces, clean with brush after softening

with the hot air jet.

 Cover the surfaces not to be cleaned with non-flammable

material. Never focalize tool’s heat on a window panel or other
glass surface.

NOTE: The Heat Gun Set is designed to remove both oil and
latex-based paint and vanish. It will not remove stains or primer
coats that have impregnated the surface of wood.
