away from you.
Secure the cable
to prevent pulling
your heatgun off
the stand. Do not
touch the nozzle
and ensure that
nothing is
dropped into the
nozzle. Carefully
switch off your
heatgun and then
allow it to cool
(see cooling down procedure).
FITTING THE SCRAPER (KX1682, KX1683)
Ensure your heatgun is cool.
Align the slot of
the scraper blade
with the
protrusion on the
blade holder and
position under the
retaining screw.
Note: Ensure the hole in the scraper is to the left of the
screw in the blade holder.
Tighten the
retaining screw.
Place the blade
holder over the
nozzle outlet.
Ensure it is
aligned. The small
bump on the
inside of the blade
holder engages with the recess on the nozzle. Tighten
the blade holder clamp screw.
PAINT STRIPPING
When stripping a point next to glass, it is necessary to
protect the glass from the heat.
A Black & Decker glass protector nozzle is used for
this purpose (available as an accessory). Your heatgun
is not suitable for stripping metal framed windows.
This is because the heat from the heatgun is
conducted
through the metal
and can crack the
glass. Scrape with
the grain of the
wood wherever
possible. Do not
linger on one spot
for too long as the
surface may char
or ignite.
KX1682, KX1683 only:
Your heatgun is designed for use with the scraper
blade to strip paint.
Proceed as follows:
Ensure the nozzle
is cool and fit the
scraper blade.
Hold your heatgun
with the scraper
blade in contact
with the surface at an angle of 30-40˚.
When the paint softens, scrape firmly. Experiment to
establish the length of time necessary to apply the heat
to obtain optimum results. Scrape the softened paint
immediately or it will harden again.
Take care to prevent paint and debris collecting on the
scraper because it may ignite. Carefully clean the
scraper blade with a knife should any build up occur.
When scraping vertical surfaces, scrape downwards
to prevent debris falling into the nozzle.
Note: When stripping a point next to glass, use a glass
protector nozzle instead of the scraper blade - a
manual scraper is needed to scrape off the paint.
CD700, KX1600 only:
Your heatgun is designed to soften paint and laquer
enabling it to be removed using a good quality
hand scraper.
Proceed as follows:
Direct the hot air onto the area to be removed. When
the paint softens, scrape firmly. Experiment to establish
the length of time necessary to apply the heat to obtain
optimum results. Scrape the softened paint
immediately or it will harden again.
OTHER USES FOR YOUR HEATGUN
On low heat (KX1682, KX1683):
• Drying paint and varnish.
• Removing stickers and decorations.
