Important Safety Instructions
• Work in one room at a time. Furnishings
should be removed or placed in the center
of the room and covered. Work areas
should be sealed off from the rest of the
dwelling by sealing doorways with drop
cloths.
• Children, pregnant or potentially
pregnant women and nursing mothers
should not be present in the work area
until the work is done and all cleanup is
complete.
• Wear a dust respirator or a dual filter
(dust and fume) respirator mask which
has been approved by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
the National Institute of Safety and Health
(NIOSH), or the United States Bureau
of Mines. These masks and replaceable
filters are readily available at major
hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits.
Beards and facial hair may keep masks
from sealing properly. Change filters often.
DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT
ADEQUATE.
• Clean up all removed paint and dust
by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet
cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other
surface where paint or dust is clinging. DO
NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM.
Use a high phosphate detergent or
trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and
mop areas.
• At the end of each work session put
the paint chips and debris in a double
plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties,
and dispose of properly.
• Remove protective clothing and work
shoes in the work area to avoid carrying
dust into the rest of the dwelling. Wash
work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off
with a wet rag that is then washed with
the work clothes. Wash hair and body
thoroughly with soap and water.
WARNING: Do not thaw plastic
pipes. Do not use heat gun on
surfaces that can be damaged by heat,
such as vinyl siding, window and door
frames. Always consider the suitability
of the material being heated.

Stripping Paint
1) To strip paint, turn unit on and hold it about
1 inch from the surface being stripped.
Proper distance and speed of stripping
should be determined by experience. It is
an advantage to hold the gun further from
the surface and to move forward slowly.
Slower speed is compensated by the wider
softened areas. Heat will also penetrate
deeper.
2) Outlet temperature can be regulated
by the dial at the back of the heat gun.
Experiment to see which setting gives the
best results with the paint you are stripping.
3) As paint begins to blister and bubble, move
gun slowly in a steady progression across
the surface. Follow closely with a scraping
knife (a 2-inch wall scraper works best) to
scrape the loosened paint. Preheat scraper
as you are heating the paint surface. This
increases the speed of paint stripping.
a. Removal of paint by using heat is based
on the fact that all organic paints soften
at elevated temperatures. When soft,
the paint can be easily lifted off without
damage to the surface.
b. When stripping paint from grooves in
moldings, you can devise your own
scraping tools. Old screwdrivers with
ground-down blades and linoleum
knives are often used.
4) When the task is completed, move slider
switch to "Off" position. This will allow
heat gun to cool down and the nozzle to
become cool to the touch. Disconnect from
power source.
