6.1 The duration and distance will be different based on
the job and workpiece material. Experiment until you
have satisfactory results.
7. Push the temperature control switch to setting I when the
job is complete. The lower temperature air will reduce the
nozzle temperature.
8. After a minute, switch the tool OFF and place it in a
location where the nozzle will not touch anything
flammable or that can conduct the heat. If possible,
position the tool on its end with the nozzle pointing
straight up.
9. Store the tool once the nozzle has cooled.
REMOVING A COATING OR PAINT
WARNING! Do not handle a heated workpiece without
appropriate safety gloves that can provide protection against
the temperature. Handling the workpiece while hot can result
in a burn injury.
The heat gun is suitable for use in stripping oil-based paint and
latex-based paint that rest on the workpiece's surface. It cannot
strip glazes or primers that penetrate wood.
When stripping paint from a vertical surface, scrape downward
so the paint does not fall into the heat gun. The nozzle should
be positioned approximately 2-3/4 to 4 in. from the painted
surface.
Test a small section first. The paint is ready for scraping when it
blisters. Some paints may soften and then burn without
blistering. Determine which type of paint or coating you are
dealing with before proceeding.
1. Protect surfaces that should not be heated with a non-
flammable covering.
2. Heat the workpiece on setting I before proceeding to
setting II or III.
