Paint and varnish removal
Turn on the gun and allow it to reach full heating power. Hold the nozzle 3” to 4” from the
paint to be moved. After short time, paint will soften and begin blistering. Do not overheat
paint, as this will cause buring and make the finish more difficult to remove. When stripping
paint overhead, always use eye protection.
Being scraping the paint off working from top to bottom. Use scrapers. Scrape with smooth,
Even strokes, warming the surface in front of the scaper by moving the gun slightly from side
to side. If paint is warmed properly, even thick layers can be removed in a single pass. Paint
should come off in a strip equal in width to the scraper blade.
Clean the edge of the scraper regularly to keep it clean and sharp and to prevent paint from
building up on the blade. Scrape the paint as soon as it soften since it will quickly harden
again.
Shaped or profiled surfaces can be stripped with a wire brush after softening with the hot air
jet.
Cover all surfaces not be heated with non-flammable material. Never concentrate tool`s heat
on a window panel or other glass surface.
Caution:
Lead paint fumes are very harmful. Always provide adequate
ventilation while working indoors!
