Hot Air Tool Operational Guidelines - All Models
HOW TO STRIP PAINT
1. Warm air preheats the surface. The hot air
tool heats up the surface and causes the
paint to soften so it can be scrapped off
easily without damaging the surface.
2. Hot air softens paint. Some paints soften
without blistering, and some may become
rubbery. Other paints may require higher
heat.
3. When working with several layers of paint,
it helps to heat the surface thoroughly so all
the layers can be scraped away at one time.
NOTE:
• A soft wire brush may be the best tool for
very intricate surfaces.
• Mineral paints and finishes, such as cement
paint and porcelain, do not soften and
cannot be removed with a hot air tool.
• Sufficiently soften the paint so it scrapes off
easily. Do not try to burn it off, as scorching
the surface can discolor the wood underneath.
4. Scrape off paint as soon as it is softened. The
best method to remove paint is to move the
hot air tool slowly and steadily forward at an
angle to the surface, pointing the nozzle in the
direction of motion. This allows you to scrape
safely outside the hot air stream and keeps
the scraper and the scraped surface cooler.
5. Allow stripped surface to cool.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Never allow any liquid to get inside the hot air
tool or immerse any part of the hot air tool into
a liquid. Ensure the intake openings and the
housing are clean and free of obstructions.
If necessary, use a soft, dry brush to clean
the intake opening and housing. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean the hot air tool.
Do not use household cleaners, since many
contain chemicals, which could seriously
damage the hot air tool housing. Do not use
gasoline, turpentine, lacquer, or paint thinner,
dry cleaning fluids or similar products.

STORAGE

Let the hot air tool nozzle cool to room
temperature before placing it in storage.
Over time, the gun's high heat will discolor
the nozzle. This is normal and will not affect
the performance or life of the tool.
