PAINT AND VARNISH REMOVAL
Never use the heat gun in combination with chemical
strippers.
WARNING! LEAD PAINT FUMES ARE VERY
HARMFUL. ALWAYS PROVIDE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION WHILE WORKING INDOORS.
1. Removal of paint and varnish requires some
practice but some simple working techniques
are described here. Test on a small area of paint
before moving on to larger areas.
2. Turn on the tool and allow it to reach working tem-
perature. Hold the nozzle 70 to 100 mm from the
paint to be removed. After a short time the paint
will soften and begin to bubble. Do not overheat
the paint, as this will cause burning and make the
paint more diffi cult to remove.
3. Begin scraping the paint off. Use accessory scra-
pers. Scrape with smooth, even strokes, warming
the surface in front of the scraper by moving the
tool slightly from side to side. If paint is warmed
properly, even thick layers can be removed in a
single pass. Scrape the paint as soon as it softens
since it will quickly harden again. Figure 3
4. Clean the edge of scraper blade often.
5. Shaped or profi led surface can be stripped with a
wire brush after softening with the hot air tool.
6. Protect surfaces NOT to be heated with non-fl am-
mable material, Figure 4. 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
stain or primer coat that have impregnated the surface
of wood.
OTHER JOBS FOR THE HOT AIR TOOL
1. Removing self-adhesive stickers and trim.
2. Thawing frozen pipes, frozen door locks, padlocks,
etc. Figure 5
WARNING: Be very careful when trying to

3. Highlighting the natural wood grain of wooden
surfaces.
4. Fast drying of paints and varnishes.
5. Softening old putty before removal and replace-
ment.
6. Shrinking shrink wrap sheeting for packaging
protection.
7. Applying ski wax.
8. Shrinking shrink tubes on wire joints.
9. Tin soldering of wire joints etc.
