PAINT AND VARNISH REMOVAL
Never use the heat gun in combination with chemical
strippers.
WARNING! LEAD PAINT FUMES ARE VERY
HARMFUL. ALWAYS PROVIDE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION WHILE WORKING INDOORS.
Removal of paint and varnish requires some practice
but some simple working techniques are described
here. Test on a small area of paint before moving on
to larger areas.
Turn on the tool and allow it to reach working temper-
ature. Hold the nozzle 70 to 100 mm from the paint
to be removed. After a short time the paint will soften
and begin to bubble. Do not overheat the paint, as
this will cause burning and make the paint more
difficult to remove.
Begin scraping the paint off. Use accessory scrapers.
Scrape with smooth, even strokes, warming the sur-
face in front of the scraper by moving the tool slightly
from side to side. If paint is warmed properly, even
thick layers can be removed in a single pass. Scrape
the paint as soon as it softens since it will quickly
harden again. Figure 5
Clean the edge of scraper blade often.
Shaped or profiled surface can be stripped with a
wire brush after softening with the hot air tool.
Protect surfaces NOT to be heated with non flamma-
