Q Set the desired air temperature.
Switching on and off
Q To switch the tool on, set the on/off switch to
position 1/2/3. Some smoke may be emitted after
switching on, this does not indicate a problem.
Q To switch the tool off, adjust the lowest tem-
perature to cool off, then set the on/off switch to
position 0. Let the tool cool down before moving
or storing it.
Temperature setting
Q Turn ON/OFF switch to 1/2/3, depending on tem-
perature you need.
Detachable front cover
Q The front cover can be removed when working at
a narrow area.
Be careful of the hot nozzle.
Removing the front cover increases the
risk of burn with the bare hot nozzle.
Stripping paint
Q Mount an appropriate accessory.
Q Set a high air temperature.
Q Switch the tool on.
Q Direct the hot air onto the paint to be removed.
Q When the paint softens, scrape the paint away
using a hand scraper.
Do not strip metal window frames, as
the heat may be conducted onto the
glass and crack it. When stripping
other window frames, use the glass
protection nozzle.
Do not keep the tool directed at one
spot too long to prevent igniting the
surface.
Avoid collecting paint on the scraper
accessory, as it may ignite. If necessary,
carefully remove paint debris from the
scraper accessory using a knife.
