STORAGE
Allow the heat tool nozzle to cool to room temperature before placing in storage.
Store the unit only after the nozzle is cool to touch. Press the lock OFF button and remove the battery
to prevent accidental start up.
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.
USES
EMBOSSING
When using the heat tool to activate embossing powder, remove excess powder by dusting the powder
off with a clean, dry paint brush. Hold the heat tool approximately 3 inches (77 MM) from the work
surface. To prevent the paper from becoming too hot, move the nozzle end around in a circular fashion
until the embossing powder is raised and shiny.
When you have completed one area, switch the hot tool off and return the tool to its built-in stand
while preparing another area.
STRIPPING PAINT
The heat tool heats up the surface and causes the paint to soften, at which time it can be scraped off
easily without damaging the surface.
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.
Some paints such as mineral paints and finishes, and cement paint and porcelain, do not soften with
heat, so using a heating tool will not work for paint removal. Test the results by trying it first in a hidden
part of the project.
Do not use the heat tool on surfaces that can be damaged by heat, such as vinyl-
coated paneling, siding or 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 tool on insulating laminated window glass. The glass edge
expansion may break the edge seal.
When scraping fascia, do not overheat the edges of the asphalt shingles protruding
over the edge of the sheathing. Too much heat will melt the asphalt.
