First, carefully heat the workpiece from
a longer distance. Reduce the distance,
if necessary.
Removing paint and vanish
• Try the hotair gun out on a small
section before you go to a larger area.
• Do not use chemical stripping agents
together with the hotair gun.
• Switch the hotair gun on. Hold the
nozzle at a distance of about 8 –10
cm from the paint until it starts to
blister. Scrape the paint in even strips
downwards.
• Warm the area in front of the scraper
evenly by moving the gun slightly
from side to side.
• The edge of the scraper has to be
cleaned often so that it remains clean
and sharp.
• On profiled surfaces the paint has to
be warmed and softened and then
removed using a wire brush.
• Cover all surfaces which should not be
heated with nonflammable material.
Never point the hotair nozzle directly
at a window or other glass surface.
NOTE: The hotair gun is suitable
for use in stripping oil paint and
latex paint. It cannot strip glazes or
primers used to impregnate wood.
DANGER! Vapours from lead
based paints are dangerous. When
working indoors always make sure that
the house is adequately ventilated.
Always remove paint residues from the
nozzle immediately! There is a danger
of fire if the paint overheats.
