1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. LEAD PAINT WARNING! Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Contact with the dust from the removal
of such paint is toxic and must therefore be avoided. The following action must be taken before using this tool:
1.1.1 User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed (modern paints do not have lead content).
1.1.2. DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the working area. The following persons are particularly vulnerable to the effects
of lead paint dust: expectant women, babies and children.
1.1.3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items: Paint Spray Respirator (Our ref SSP16EN), PE Coated
Hooded Coverall (Our ref SSP266), Latex Gloves (Our ref SSP24).
1.1.4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes, and scrapings.
1.1.5. Continue to wear safety equipment as in (1.1.3) above and thoroughly clean all areas when task is complete. Ensure the
paint waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers.
1.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
p WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A Residual
Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is
used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt
consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer. You must also read and understand the
following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.2.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.2.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances
and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.2.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.2.1. and 1.2.2.
and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.2.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.2.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.2.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.2.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.2.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.2.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK
3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected,
that the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown)
and neutral (blue) wires only. To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.2.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to
ensure that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket
with your electrician.
1.2 11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of
2.5mm² section cable. If extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.
A FUSE RATING OF 10 AMP
IS RECOMMENDED
1.3. GENERAL SAFETY

WARNING!
WARNING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND EYE PROTECTION.
4.2. Paint and varnish removal.
The easy removal of paint and varnish requires practice. Follow these simple working techniques to achieve the required result.
NOTE: The heat gun is designed to remove both oil and latex based paints and varnishes from surfaces. It will not remove stains
or primer coats that have impregnated the surface of the wood.
4.2.1. Switch the gun on and allow it to reach its operating temperature.
4.2.2. Always test on a small unobtrusive area first. If satisfactory, proceed with the task in hand.
4.2.3. Hold the gun nozzle 3” to 4” from the paint to be removed.
4.2.4. After a short time paint will soften and begin to blister.
4.2.5. Do not overheat the paint as this will cause it to burn making it more difficult to remove. Wear eye protection, especially when
stripping paint from overhead. If lead paint is being removed, refer to the warning at the beginning of this manual.
4.2.6. Begin scraping the paint off. Work from top to bottom. Use a scraper with smooth even strokes, warming the surface in front
of the scraper by moving the gun slightly from side to side.
4.2.7. If the correct temperature has been applied to the paint, thick even layers can be removed in a single pass (paint should
be removed in strips equal in width to the scraper blade).
4.2.8. Keep the scraper blade edge clean and sharp preventing paint peelings from building up.
4.2.9. Scrape paint as soon as it becomes soft, as it will re-harden very quickly.
4.2.10. After softening, shaped or profiled surfaces may be stripped by using a wire brush.
4.2.11. To protect surrounding surfaces from the heat gun cover with non-flammable material.
IMPORTANT: Do not concentrate the heat gun on windows or glass surfaces as the glass may crack.
