IMPORTANT NOTICE
In order for this tool to be an effective paint stripper, it must
produce extremely high temperatures. As a consequence, the
stripper is capable of igniting paper, wood, paint and varnish
residue and similarmaterials.
As you become more familiar with the tool and develop the
proper technique, the danger of accidental ignition will be greatly
reduced. In establishing the proper technique, the best thing to
do is PRACTICE! Work on simple stripping projects, preferably
outdoors, until you get a “feel” for how to use your stripper safely
andeffectively.
As you Practice, Observe the Following
Procedures for Safety
• Always be sure the tool is turned off and disconnected from
power supply whenunattended.
• Clean the scraper blade often during use. Built up residue on
the blade is highlyflammable.
• Experiment to find the optimum distance from the
tool’s nozzle to the surface being stripped. This distance
25.4mm–50.8mm will vary depending on the material
beingremoved.
• Keep the heat gun moving ahead of the scraper blade at
alltimes.
• As you work, clean up loose pieces of paint as they accumulate
around the workarea.
• When working indoors, keep away from curtains, papers,
upholstery and similar flammablematerials.
• Above all, remember that this is a serious tool that is capable
of producing excellent results when used properly. Practice on
simple projects until you feel comfortable with your stripper.
Only then will you have mastered the propertechnique.
