protection nozzle.
•
To prevent igniting the surface, do not keep the tool
directed at one spot too long.
•
Avoid collecting paint on the scraper accessory, as it
may ignite. If necessary, carefully remove paint debris
from the scraper accessory using a knife.
1. Attach the appropriate accessory.
2. Turn the air temperature adjustment knob/LCD air
temperature indicator and adjuster
3. Turn the tool on by selecting the desired air flow.
