Stripping Paint
The Heat Gun heats up the surface and causes the paint to soften, at
which time it can be scraped off easily without damaging the surface.
Some paints may soften even though they do not blister; some may
become rubbery, and some may require higher heat.
When working with several layers of paint, it speeds up the scraping
process to heat the surface thoroughly, all the way to the wood., then
all the layers can be scraped at one time.
A soft wire brush may be the best tool to use for very intricate
surfaces. Mineral paints and finishes, such as cement paint and
porcelain, do not soften with heat, so using a heating tool will not
work for paint removal.
The best method of paint removal
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.
A. Warm air preheats the
surface.
B. Paint is softened by hot air.
A + B. Deep penetration of heat
over total area.
C. Paint can be easily scraped
off as soon as it is softened
and the gun is moved
forward.
D. Stripped surface allowed to
cool.
IMPORTANT: The removal of paint by a Heat Gun is safe if the
above guidelines are used, but always keep either a container of
water or an ABC fire extinguisher (suitable against Class A, B and
C type fires) within reach.
Note: Do not use the Heat Gun on surfaces that can be damaged

Cleaning and Maintenance

Keep the intake openings on the housing clean and free of
obstructions. Use a soft, dry brush to clean the openings periodically.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the Heat Gun. Many
household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage
the housing.
Do not use petroleum, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry
cleaning fluids or similar products when cleaning the Heat Gun.
NEVER allow any liquid to get inside the tool or immerse any part of
the tool into a liquid.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless
they are older than 8 years and supervised.

Storage
Allow the Heat Gun nozzle to cool to room temperature before
placing in storage.
The nozzle will turn dark over time because of the high heat. This is
normal and will not affect the performance or life of the unit.
by heat, such as vinyl-coated panelling, vinyl-coated siding
or vinyl-coated window frames.
When removing paint from window frames, the Heat Gun
will soften the putty. Be careful not to gouge the putty with
the scraper. The putty will firm up after it cools.
Do not use the Heat Gun on insulating laminated window
glass such as Thermopane. The glass edge expansion may
break the edge seal.
When scraping facia, do not overheat the edges of the
asphalt shingles protruding over the edge of the sheathing.
Too much heat will melt the asphalt.
