therefore no earth wire is required.
Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised BLACK+DECKER Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
Extension cables
• A 2 or 3 core cable may be used as the
appliance is double insulated and of class
II construction.
• Up to 30m (100 ft) can be used without
loss of power.

Fitting an accessory
A selected range of accessories can be
obtained from your local retailer.
• Cone nozzle: Concentrates the air stream
on a smaller area.
• Fish tail: Spreads the air stream over a
wider area
• Spoon reflector: For soldering pipes.
• Glass protector: For the protection of
glass during paint stripping.
• Scraper: For the removal and stripping
paint and varnish.
• Fit the connecting piece of the accessory
over the nozzle (2).
Use
Switching on and o
• To switch the tool on at the low air
speed,
low heat, set the on/o switch to
position I.
• To switch the tool on at the high air
speed, high heat, set the on/o switch to
position II.
• To switch the tool off, set the on/off
switch to position O.
Using the tool
Your tool is fitted with a thermostat for your
safety. Using the tool continuously for very
long periods or other severe duty cycles may
cause the tool to overheat and stop working.
It is therefore recommended that you allow
the tool to cool down at regular intervals
during use.
• Allow the tool to heat up for a few
seconds before use.
• At first use some smoke may emit from
the nozzle. This is normal and will soon
decrease.
• Use a low temperature setting for drying
paint and varnish, removing stickers,
shrinking insulation tubes, and thawing
frozen pipes.
• Use a high temperature setting for
removing paints and lacquers, and
soldering plumbing joints.
• If you are unsure about using this tool on
a particular material, start with a low
temperature setting and perform a test
on scrap material.
Hands free use (fig. A)
The tool has stand locations (3) to facilitate
hands free use.
• Place the tool with the nozzle up on a
surface where it cannot be tipped over.
• Secure the cable to prevent pulling the
tool over.
Warning! Always point the tool away from
yourself or other persons. Do not touch the
nozzle. Take care that no material drops into
the nozzle.
Paint stripping
• Direct the hot air at the working area to
heat up the paint.
• Do not burn the paint. Keep the nozzle at
least 25 mm from the surface.
• When the paint softens, remove the paint
using a scraper. Scrape the softened paint
immediately or it will harden again.
• Scrape with the grain of the wood
wherever possible.
• Do not allow paint and debris to collect
on the scraper.
• When scraping from a vertical position,
scrape downwards to prevent the paint
from falling back into the nozzle.
